about

All 16 tracks available on purchase.

1. Live, Small Black Box, Brisbane, 24 April 2004 - Two tracks on the "Live Performances" digital EP (Dreamland Recordings, 2004) were taken from this recording, my second visit to Brisbane.

2. SIEV X Revisited - This unreleased track from April 2004 was created from creaking guitar sounds with some effects to create an impression of a refugee boat swaying at sea.

3. The World is as I See it - This unreleased track from April 2004 built on the previous track's sounds with some overdubs and editing.

4. A Little Bit of Help - This and the following two tracks were created using source materials provided by Greg Wadley of New Waver, fed through various effects and mixer feedback channels to create this real time remix in June 2004. "Calculator", released on the "Eccentricites" CD (Shame File Music, 2005) was also from this session.

5. Another Human Being - June 2004 (with New Waver)

6. Can't Get Better - June 2004 (with New Waver)

7. Guitar Study 1 - This is a one-take recording with no overdubs, using live looping via the DD6 digital delay pedal. Recorded in July 2004, this track was released on the "Live Performances" digital EP (Dreamland Recordings, 2004).

8. Guitar Study 2 - An unreleased variation on the previous track (July 2004).

9. Three Movements for Batman Bridge (version 1) - This and the following unreleased four tracks, all recorded in August 2004, are remixes of field recordings of suspension bridges made by Jodi Rose. Batman Bridge is a suspension bridge in Tasmania, Australia.

10. Three Movements for Batman Bridge (version 2) - August 2004 (with Jodie Rose).

11. Impromptu Dance on Batman Bridge - August 2004 (with Jodi Rose).

12. Sway on Batman Bridge (version 1) - August 2004 (with Jodi Rose).

13. Sway on Batman Bridge (version 2) - August 2004 (with Jodi Rose).

14. Music That Writes Itself 2 - Recorded in September 2004, this is an unreleased version of the track of the same name that appeared on the "Eccentricites" CD (Shame File Music, 2005).

15. Guitar Fiddle - A short, unreleased guitar improvisation from November 2004.

16. Guitar and Feedback Study 1 - This unreleased track was recorded in November 2004 as a further study of guitar and live digital delay. Parts of it formed "Second Journey" from the "Eccentricites" CD (Shame File Music, 2005).

"Here’s two hours of varied recordings from Clinton Green aka Undecisive God, an Australian underground legend. I’m drawn to the absolute zero-effort art work for this, the lack of extensive background info provided, and how the majority of the tracks aren’t even listed on the Bandcamp page until you purchase the music. It’s a simple invitation: pay $7 AUD and you’ll get a trove of material that you have to make heads or tails of on your own. I like the quiet beauty of “The World is as I See It,” meditative in its oceanic ambience and glints of guitar. It’s as calming as “Can’t Get Better” is anxiety-inducing. On that track, he mischievously ruptures the space with shards of noise as different radio broadcasts (?) play, one of which is a woman that keeps repeating the titular phrase. The “Three Movements for Batman Bridge” tracks are simple, edited field recording soundscapes that capture everyday mystique while “Guitar and Feedback Study 1” is the process of him trying to attain magic through different tools. Consider Archive 7: 2004 a sonic diary that’s been thrust into the world" —Joshua Minsoo Kim (Tone Glow)
