About Art & Technology

Art and Technology is a multi-disciplinary consultancy providing design solutions in art, technology and the combination of the two. This site is a gallery of original Art and Technology works we have under taken, supplemented with a few of our "how to" articles.

Our illustrations are being used around the world in marketing, patents, games, and magazines, stickers, as gifts, on stubby holders, T-shirts and as Tattoos. I have contributed to short films, websites and have become Australia's premier automotive caricaturist and cartoonist. My daughter contributes a Anime / Manga style and Flash/After Effects when appropriate.

We have also developed, and shipped, hi-tech commercial products for simulation, training, music, audio and video production, among other industrial, medical, defence and mining NDA covered things. Electronic musical instrument and audio design have been very significant in our work at both Fairlight Instruments (where the Sampler originated) and Roland Corporation Japan. As used by the likes of Peter Gabriel, ZZ Top, James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Jan Hammer, John Farnham (You're the Voice), Iva Davies (Great Southern Land) and many others. Some 14 years of that in Hamamatsu Japan and some is covered in the article here.

As a consultant, experience is priceless. Here are some of the business cards and titles we have had over the years. Much of what we do now is prototypes.

"It did have a quality about it, and I don't think it was just luck, you know.
People are talking about the sonic quality of a series III Fairlight while forgetting the output stage of that thing was the same filter , and I "think" the same VCA , as was in a Jupiter 8 or Prophet 5. I mean they ran through those, you know what ever... SSM chips and that was the filter on that thing, ..um… so there wasn't a reason really it should sound THAT much better than something else as everything else was using the same stuff , but I think there was a design aesthetic, and it is the guys building it.
I think the people that built our instruments, I see them as much as artists as I see them as scientists."

I was the guy that designed all the bits that made sound in the series III over 27 years ago, and I'd like to say it is "Art & Technology" that makes the difference to the projects I'm involved with.
