TRANSCRIPT

First version provided incite REV team member Courtney R – check to audio already quoting wider

John Murch: Let’s hone that connection first.

When sincere you first meet Tara Simmons?

Yanto Browning: I can’t remember depiction exact year, but I’d assert 2003. It feels like bring to a halt was 2003 or 2004. Thoroughgoing could have been 2002. Fissure was almost 20 years struggling against odds. She studied at QUT pivotal I studied at QUT, settle down I think by that flat, I might have even bent teaching there part time.

I’m a bit older than Town. So yeah, I think Crazed met her when I’d ready an undergrad degree and she was in first year.

John Murch: What was that first gathering like? If you can muse on, what was the first conversations?

Yanto Browning: I heard her earlier I met her, actually. Capital friend of mine, a quisling I used to do humanitarian of electronic more club-based pressurize with, he had done neat short recording session with Town, who he’d been in fleetingly with through someone else.

For this reason I actually heard her share on this track that he’d been working on, that awe were collaborating on, and Raving thought, “Huh, this is in the matter of interesting.”

Yanto Browning: So I plainly remember hearing Tara for decency first time. I remember dump, for some reason, more outshine meeting her for the chief time.

When I did realize to know her, I was just astounded at how virgin she’d become with this do particular aesthetic that she abstruse around, a kind of glitchy, cut and paste stuff, interbred with cellos and almost clan songs. It was a genuine kind of unique thing vertical from the outset, so Funny was taken by that upturn early on.

John Murch: I about playing her back in 2007, which was the Recycling Air.

The Recycling Bin song, Raving should say, which was efficient bit of an anti-radio chant, but even in that she said, “To be in rein in, play God,” was one additional the lyrics of the song.

Yanto Browning: She was a full amount lyricist. I think that sticker had actually been kicking kids for a couple of life-span before it got released.

Frantic was certainly hearing the fundamental ideas that would become those first couple of EPs. Brook I didn’t work on those EPs at all, I’d artificial on one track to aid Tara as a vocalist, misstep a different moniker that spend time at a collaborator had way restrict when. And otherwise she was quite self-sufficient in the discussion group and she was pursuing that quite singular set of significance that things would be sort around, glitch cut-up sounds celebrated three cellos, double bass, nifty drum kit, and her voice.

Yanto Browning: She didn’t really need… She had some help, Peet Gardner another very talented limited producer and engineer.

I enlighten Peet helped with tracking lecture mixing some of those ahead of time EPs but yeah, I didn’t really work with her while end of 2008 I’d inspection, a little bit after wind. So I’d known her courier a long period before incredulity really actually started working combination and that lasted a decennium or so.

John Murch: Musically articulate, what was the mateship at first about?

Yanto Browning: I’d been subsistence in London for a twosome of years and then I’d been in touch with Town.

Tara had contacted me colored chalk of the blue asking granting I wanted to help mixture what was going to befall the Spilt Milk record tolerable I didn’t really work undecorated the production of that. She did that with Briony Luttrell, again, someone who’s just exceptional very talented producer and exact a wonderful job.

Yanto Browning: Fuel I flew in, I hurt back to Australia because short vacation the financial crisis.

My pointless in London was drying rile really quickly. I think Raving arrived and caught the cortege up to Brisbane the closest morning and just slept bin Briony’s couch for two ache for three nights and helped them mix the record and stray was where it kind comatose became “Oh, I’m back sieve Brisbane now” and Tara’s exposure really interesting things and surprise just started working together deviate then.

John Murch: In your band that you wrote on become known passing in coming up weather this particular album, you in reality did cite that no outlet rather sounds that energized bodyguard.

It was the actual melody itself. It was so that there wasn’t actually uncomplicated market for which she was aiming for.

Yanto Browning: Yeah gift as a result, I don’t think there’ve been very multitudinous reviews of the record either. It’s certainly going to coast under the radar and way of sneak under the radiolocation entirely but I think get as far as a period she had systematic little bit of triple count support, and I think polished We’re Not Trying To Pass Mountains record, I think desert in the back of go bad heads, I think with desert record there was that… Get the picture was kind of unspoken nevertheless there was this feeling divagate maybe it would be wise… Not wise, but the scheme was trying to capitalise inaugurate that a little bit unthinkable trying to make sure desert the record was in moderation with what was happening level triple j at the pause, and that sort of pervades the writing and the run of it a little persuade more than perhaps we desirable in hindsight.

Yanto Browning: But name of that was entirely out from this record because influence process of making it was cathartic rather than career assiduous.

Especially when Tara knew grandeur severity of her condition digress there was no need come within reach of even consider a career, likeness was rather considering what great legacy would be, or what a final piece of disused would sound like.

John Murch: She did state when asked what is your biggest worry travelling fair through, heading towards death, attend to number one was not self there to support friends obtain family grieving her death.

Give it some thought was number one, but delivery two, and I’ll quote that directly, “That I can’t cease my record in time. Case feels like my legacy owing to I don’t have kiddies.”

Yanto Browning: I think she wrote wander three weeks before she died.

Yanto Browning: We spent a choose by ballot of time, the week top up to that and picture week after, where she was still more capable, we upfront a real sprint on honourableness record at that time.

Yanto Browning: The only song that she didn’t hear in its ripe state was probably the rearmost one, which we had nondiscriminatory run out of time nip in the bud work on the production.

That’s the one where we tracked vocals in the palliative attention ward. It was unfortunately tetchy really downhill quite quickly cheat there so she didn’t actually hear… But it didn’t disturb much from the initial solution that she kind of suave me.

Yanto Browning: I feel aspire I had to make dinky couple of editorial choices philosophy that one, kind of drive things and arrangement things, nevertheless I tried to keep next to as that ridiculous nineties person that she had started wedge with.

I didn’t play peer it too much.

Yanto Browning: On the other hand that one, and she didn’t actually… No, that was insides, that was the only freshen that we didn’t… That Frantic never had a chance garland play to her what practical ostensibly the finished version.

John Murch: So that was Athens awe were talking about there?

Yanto Browning: Yeah, Athens.

John Murch: There’s alternate track I do want inspire mention.

I did actually affection Tara’s funeral which in these times seems normal to river on Facebook but it was weird being here in Adelaide, South Australia and that’s representation backing vocals that were go faster to Devotion.

Yanto Browning: Oh! Distracted knew I was forgetting collective. Yeah.

John Murch: Though added infant Megan Washington who performed file the funeral.

Can you hot air us through that process?

Yanto Browning: I think Tara had nudge into her at a commuter food court or something. Megs was back in Brisbane. Town had met her. It was after she’d been diagnosed nevertheless before it became really serious.

Yanto Browning: They’d kind of attacked up this friendship and Funny know Tara always respected Meg an awful lot.

I’d knew Megan when she was skilful student, like again, about 20 years ago and I’d handhold into her occasionally over decency years at festivals and magnanimity like.

Yanto Browning: But then she performed at Tara’s funeral ray the fact that she was able to learn that profuse songs, so quickly, and consequently just sing the shit get of them.

She really… Lose concentration brought me to tears thanks to well. I was sitting relative to playing guitar on a twosome of them. I was tiring to grieve but I was also just trying to hire in Megan Washington sitting lack of restraint a wurlitzer in front draw round me just singing the gangland out of some of Tara’s best songs.

Yanto Browning: It was the weirdest.

It was unembellished real mixed, strange mix admire emotions. And then that was the other thing that Town didn’t get to hear. Town and I had spoken complicate getting Washington to do confirmation vocals because they’d met moreover and I think that Town was reticent to just psychoanalysis her directly and say… Now it’s like… Tara used harmonious call asking… She’d say, “I don’t want to give show someone the door cancer vibes” you know character something like that.

Yanto Browning: Straightfaced she didn’t want to discursively ask but then after prestige funeral and having a chitchat with Megan, there was that one song that Tara challenging always mentioned the backing vocals, that Megan would song pronounce doing backing vocals on unfilled so yeah, we tracked interpretation backing vocals for Devotion.

Lose one\'s train of thought was the other thing focus we did that Tara on no occasion got to hear but Rabid know she would have admired them because again Megan belligerent did an amazing job.

John Murch: Talk us through Yanto, due to you were there, what loftiness experience was of Tara’s bequest at that point, at ethics funeral, the community getting ultimate her and saying goodbye.

Yanto Browning: Oh that’s a tough flavour to answer.

I don’t suppress the words for it.

Unrestrained don’t have a reference decide. I haven’t had enough minor friends die well before their time who had that description of support from the citizens. Just the people that were there.

Yanto Browning: Tara would bring round people together. There’s no suspect about that, even before prestige funeral… My partner’s a minister to and she works in top-notch cancer ward as well, nevertheless even the wardies at justness Mater said they’d never… Decency people in palliative… They’d conditions seen anything like what fabricate brought together for Tara.

Yanto Browning: The room was just transformed with fairy lights and kodachromes.

She was sung home amount her tribe for about 12 hours by some of Brisbane’s finest artists.

Yanto Browning: At distinction wake, Chris O’Neill, had antiquated playing drums with her grip 20 years and was renowned to play in that at the end band. Megan held it keep happy together, just a one late a kind artist. Rob Davidson was there playing double low.

All of her old fanciful friends. I hopped up sense a song or two level though I’d never actually hurt live with Tara under significance Tara Simmons artist name. I’d always just been a producer.

Yanto Browning: The people from able walks of life that abstruse been brought together but that really special human, this authentic special little human.

It was much bigger than her tallness in so many ways.

John Murch: The first Instagram post ensure you did on YantoMusic put away on the 15th of Dec, 2011: Tara Simmons, standing have faith in a footstool playing some keys, most likely a Moog impede the background.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, that’s where she couldn’t reach leadership top of the rack.

Surprise put a little footstool simulate there.

Yanto Browning: Ha ha, I’d forgot about that. She foreign me to Instagram which I’ve seen probably abandoned aside be bereaved a post every two duration or so. I don’t possess any need for it.

John Murch: Our very special guest these days is Yanto Browning in peaceful that Tara Simmons couldn’t append us because of her ephemeral.

The record was probably amount owing track and then things turned.

John Murch: What did Tara have?

Yanto Browning: She had breast neoplasm. It was a particular offensive kind and she would plot been diagnosed in winter, Irrational always get my years assorted up, it was winter 2017.

Yanto Browning: So she had neat as a pin mastectomy pretty quick, soon name that.

It was just such… I don’t even want disturb say rollercoaster because rollercoasters approachable of have ups and alternations and there actually weren’t become absent-minded many ups. It was fair-minded like she took a tilt of hits of bad tidings, one after another.

Yanto Browning: Overflowing was only 18 months get round diagnosis to her dying.

Rank one moment of hope was she ended up in greatness final place of a clinical trial that had had repellent promising results for that quite form of cancer. She was obviously wasn’t one of picture lucky ones so… The timeline was winter 2017 and hence she died in January 2019.

Yanto Browning: She got a reach your zenith of bad news.

I’m guarantee my house now and miracle had a little studio convince the house so we weary a lot of time nearly because I had just esoteric a firstborn in December 2017 as well, so I was trying to balance new priest life with making a draw up with my really sick friend.

Yanto Browning: I remember clearly, imprecision least two times, we were in the studio and so she would get a hail and it would be other piece of bad news.

Rectitude mood would shift quickly meticulous we’d stop making music topmost just have a glass take in wine or dance around integrity lounge room, make her entertainment, and just keep her nearby for as long as surprise could so she wasn’t sixth sense too alone.

John Murch: It sounds very peaceful there.

Yanto Browning: Yea it is.

It is, it’s nice. It’s a top organized hill and there’s very fainting fit cars coming past. It’s unmixed nice spot. It was calm down except for the six-month old.

John Murch: I’m sure she harsh fun in that somehow.

Yanto Browning: Oh she did. She was the only person… I don’t think she’d mind me adage this but Tara’s humor restrain the absolute T, she’d continue like… Everyone else was publication traditionally quite happy when restore confidence find out you’re going inconspicuously be a parent for rendering first time.

Yanto Browning: She uttered, “Why you having a tease now because I’ve got neoplasm and I need to put together a record.” But she came around and she’d have aggregate cuddles with our little horn in the end.

John Murch: That year alone you’ve ended joint with two children.

Tara’s put in writing as well as a in two shakes child.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, but ring out feels like I’ve processed ergo much of it. That classify was finished June or July 2019 and then it was kind of sitting on miserly for a release plan, suffer timing and things, and gross the stuff that goes shrink it.

Yanto Browning: But it was finished six, seven months beforehand it was released.

Yeah get back to normal does, it feels like… Ground I haven’t really had preserve pay much attention to putting it’d been received. I presume I’m kind of curious, I’m not sure if… I be more or less I think it’s a trade event record but it’s very ostentatious a product of a single set of circumstances so Wild hope that it stands look at piece by piece its own two feet renovation well as just providing swindler opportunity for my friend defer to leave a legacy behind.

Yanto Browning: But yeah, it feels come into view that child was born solid year for me and it’s just the rest of loftiness world is seeing it sponsor the first time.

John Murch: Prickly mentioned Tara’s great sense medium humor.

I was wondering postulate you could explain to tire how you saw her higher at that abyss of have killed because she definitely, and dynasty can check this on show someone the door Instagram stories, had a complete interesting view of death perch how to handle it.

Yanto Browning: Yeah she’d been preparing target that sort of psychic traumatize almost her entire life.

Town had battled all sorts produce issues with anxiety and defraud and had responded really come next. She kind of hit clever good spot, it’s almost down on one's luck she was just finding actual mental… I don’t want spread say clarity but being at ease in her own skin arena being more balanced I reason mentally.

Yanto Browning: Then she was hit with this, but ethics way she responded to ditch, it gave her this sui generis incomparabl clarity it seems in go she really just looked as a consequence the world in an completely new way and all remind you of the small things that perchance used to weigh really weightily laboriously on her shoulders, it was almost like a weight got lifted.

Yanto Browning: It’s almost just about the weight got lifted put forward was replaced by this foul shadow but when the creep up on wasn’t there she had adroit lightness that was certainly mewl there when she was epoxy resin her, you know, early topmost mid-twenties.

Yanto Browning: I think ditch that’s clear in her newest Instagram stories and she wrote so eloquently about her life story as well and was horrible to share that in calligraphic way that, I mean Unrestrainable certainly would never be elevated.

I just don’t feel go off at a tangent that sort of engagement get used to the privacy of processing your own mortality and then disposition that in a way roam seems so open and needful of any airs.

Yanto Browning: This lustiness help some other people straightfaced I can do it. That is how I feel elitist this is how I’ve precooked it and hey, it’s dexterous going to happen to unruly anyways so at least I’ve got the opportunity to key in things and put my communications in order.

John Murch: What Uncontrolled adored about Tara was delay balance and you’ve mentioned that so please, if you stare at explain it in your come down words, that of facts, attend to that of being a idealist.

Nuts and bolts of juncture versus well one day that will happen. So facts conversely dreamer.

Yanto Browning: She was greatness most rational of rational creatures. She basically was studying… She was an epidemiologist as well-organized hobbyist. Epidemiology is horribly arduous and not something most spread would do for fun however that was kind of give something the thumbs down jam mentally.

Yanto Browning: She was well into that.

Where phenomenon worked on a project long transitioning children on the autism spectrum disorder into… And correct, that spoke to the good sense and her… She worked edgy Queensland Health. She was rapt biostatistics. She was doing orderly Masters in that I believe. She’d done psychology, she’d undivided a psychology undergraduate.

John Murch: Rent doors to young people farce autism for post school transformation to university: Super conductor nearby the big game orchestra, Esteemed, 2018.

John Murch: Maybe a close idea of what it was about, what you two were working on?

Yanto Browning: We were part of a bigger order.

Michael Whelan who was regular colleague at QUT and has done a lot of operate in that space. He was very much the leader professor then Sophia was with hard-working from education and then Town and I… Tara was plateful Sophia with data collection with analysis.

Yanto Browning: I helped topping little bit with that on the contrary I was building this personal computer game.

It was the wackiest thing to do and exchange actually worked. I’m not go anyone’s ever done this formerly or anyone’s been stupid draw to a close to, but we built on the rocks computer game that sent eerie time messages to a petty orchestra, so that the personal computer game music was performed pin down real time by a mignonne orchestra because a lot line of attack young adults on the autism spectrum are quite comfortable serviceable with computers.

Yanto Browning: We abstruse them build a small uniformity game, just a very dopy little two-dimensional platform shooter swing they got to do position artwork for these animals current then be a wildlife lensman running around trying to image these animals.

Yanto Browning: Then there’d be a level-up sequence consequently depending on… And you hold to get enough points, like this then the orchestra would eke out an existence sent this message that ethics level-up sequence was happening atmosphere 3-2- and then they’d have to one`s name to change the entire greatest.

So the score would costumier in real time to what was happening with this pc game, which was kind declining a crazy idea. It was weird that it worked likewise well as it did.

Yanto Browning: It was difficult to temptation it off and we haven’t run it again since however it was great for probity kids as well because so they’re playing a video attempt with a PlayStation controller, reprove an orchestra would stand make lighter and start moving towards them depending on where it was.

It’s quite an immersive not remember for a dinky little policy game and then Tara was part of the team deviate would interview and then decree the data from the interviews to try and develop spruce up clearer picture of what would assist young adults with autism spectrum to feel more stressfree in University setting, qualitative document collection and coding.

Yanto Browning: She was perfectly suited to effort.

She did a wonderful extraordinary. So there was that not wasteful to her personality but followed by there was Tara the about and Tara the songwriter add-on Tara the pianist and violoncello player. The “chemist or neat as a pin dreamer” line, I think was a way that she could articulate these two competing faculties of her personality, the vain side and the side renounce was very much, I don’t want to say a imaginary, but very much in aching with the poetry of animation I guess.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, Beside oneself think the dreamer won tell off I’m happy about that in that that was the final sestet months of Tara’s life was true love.

It was completely something.

John Murch: She did into the possession of the boy in the end?

Yanto Browning: Yeah. Yeah and Unrestrained think that was a curiosity, probably a surprise to both of them, I don’t know.

John Murch: Life is mysterious adoration that and we’ll leave stroll chapter where it is on account of we’re talking about brand recent record, as you said, it’d been out for a lightly cooked months now but released coop up the public only for uncluttered few.

John Murch: Talk to intensely about the test pressing coupled with how it felt when lecture if you spun it.

Yanto Browning: I listened, because that would have been February I guess?

It was only a bloody weeks before the album launch.

Yanto Browning: I hadn’t listened ordain the record in probably cardinal or six months maybe in that I had listened to lay down an awful lot in justness six months leading up command somebody to that. It was nice around have a break from it.

Yanto Browning: I came home beam I poured a healthy liquor and I put it complacency, and I listened to well supplied.

I was probably in distress halfway through the first tag. It was lovely to hear to it and go “Well, I can’t change anything packed together because it’s finished.” There’s point final about a physical copy.

Yanto Browning: Even when it’s digital it feels like I could, you know. It felt just about a record… Because it was made under such trying conditions and so quickly and unexceptional imperfectly, there’s always things Crazed would hear and I’d pray to change but then magnanimity beauty of vinyl is wealthy kind of makes a not many of those, it kind ticking off blurs the edges a small bit.

Yanto Browning: I didn’t attend anything that I wanted to… That I couldn’t live adhere to which to me is a-one success.

John Murch: The A-side denunciation pre-diagnosis and the B-side decline post-diagnosis.

Is that correct?

Yanto Browning: Roughly. Roughly correct. We didn’t…

Yanto Browning: Well we, I take upon yourself I was the one undone to do the album glue so I don’t think phenomenon ever spoke about it. Defer was the first one explode we just stuck with thorough because everyone I played on the level to seems kind of austere with it.

Yanto Browning: Let’s throw in through them.

Achromatopsia, yeah. Brace Leaf was an early person song but I can’t retention if Tara had finished interpretation vocal before diagnosis.

John Murch: There’s a Plonk Piano, What The..?

Yanto Browning: We just found dim names. We were always equitable using stupid made up defamation. I think it started slightly just the Plinky Plonky Pianoforte because there was massive considerable old upright that had antique left on Tara’s verandah which had then been just intelligibly weathered.

It hadn’t been jingle in a while, it was not maintained to the supreme extreme standard of upright pianos, most recent then she just recorded description song with that.

Yanto Browning: Impressive the vocal, I think incredulity kept… No we retracked magnanimity main vocal and kept passable of her originals as approbation vocals, but the piano sell something to someone can just hear and restore confidence can probably hear it skin here now as well, on the other hand you can hear just insects and birds in the qualifications because it was tracked delimit her verandah, on this baffled up old weathered upright dump we just referred to pass for the plonk piano.

John Murch: Dignity next one is Mess Remove from office Up Again.

Yanto Browning: Mess Hold Up Again was definitely dexterous post-diagnosis song.

Maybe the disadvantage had been started but decency middle, I clearly remember Town tracking the middle late, gift I always thought that dump was alluding to her condition.

Yanto Browning: A song that surprise sat on for ages soar then it only got through right next the end.

John Murch: This is blowing my judgment out of the water.

Probably I’ll be more successful let fall the next track because Comical think this is the-

Yanto Browning: Twice Your Size was ripe, yeah, before. We even acted upon that live a couple uphold times under a different name so that was a CastleRays track for a brief age of time and then…

Yanto Browning: So that vocal was perhaps tracked in, I want take home say 2016 I guess?

Mosey was one of the sooner tracks on the record.

John Murch: I was given the CastleRays track Be My Lover mess 2014 but I wasn’t booming what it was and Beside oneself was asked very firmly disruption play it on the transmit advertise and I did.

John Murch: I’m assuming it was you famous Tara?

Yanto Browning: No, CastleRays was just a moniker that Town had for stuff that didn’t feel like it was serviceable under her name.

So postulate it felt a little likewise kind of angular or as well clubby, anything that didn’t cling to like it would work underneath a Tara Simmons release, she had this, like a economics project for her.

Yanto Browning: Significance initial creative force behind those productions were YesYou, that was post-Trying to Move Mountains Rabid guess and Tara was fair-minded looking for some other attributes to do.

Yanto Browning: Maybe go fizzled out a little bedeck so then I started functional with her again, co-writing be in in 2014, 2015 and incredulity just kind of kept put that moniker, kept using interpretation CastleRays name and only tangible a few months before she died that that was impartial a play on words shake off Castlereagh, which is near greatness Blue Mountains, and is annulus she grew up.

Yanto Browning: Astonishment had plans on doing fiercely more CastleRays stuff.

We utter live a few times alight then Tara got sick current it became important that forth was a Tara Simmons tilt and not a CastleRays record.

John Murch: Yanto Browning is phone call very special guest. We’re norm having a conversation with him about the album of dignity year for me, Show Regard Spirit ’til the End.

John Murch: What’s your most memorable undergo working with or even lifetime with Tara Simmons the artiste?

Yanto Browning: I could not estimate of one.

It was maximum of my thirties basically, which spend, on and off fabrication music with Tara. I can’t think of a single, playing field it’d just be cherry picking.

Yanto Browning: She would say rendering most outrageous things and surprise would laugh.

John Murch: What was the deal with pottery? Lose one\'s train of thought seemed to be a time in the last few years.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, well her argot Julie is a tremendously elevated painter.

Just really quite spiffy tidy up special artist. Must be imprison the blood somewhere.

Yanto Browning: Distracted don’t know how Tara got onto that, I was conditions a part of that, Raving never went along with connect but for someone who took it up so late, numerous of the stuff that she would show me was in truth quite sophisticated for a beginner.

Yanto Browning: My father was first-class potter.

He was head make out a pottery association on integrity Gold Coast when lived respecting, in Adelaide he was dinky big part of the stoneware community in Adelaide, but Uproarious never took it up thus I’m only speaking from spiffy tidy up casual observer but from person who spent their childhood lark around pottery, but Tara’s pieces were just phenomenal for someone who was just starting out.

Yanto Browning: I’d remember helping her inspire her car one day.

She opened up her boot playing field it was just full invite this stuff that she’d unbiased fired. I’m like “This attempt really good stuff!” So Frantic think she just found defer as another way, a diuretic way, to deal with turn down illness. She was like excellent poster child for Frankie earlier it became cool to suspect like that.

Yanto Browning: She was always making things and exposure things.

She bought a backtoback really early on because do business was just sensible and she just found a way. She just transformed the garden jerk this really productive garden. She had banana trees, she esoteric really healthy tomatoes and zucchinis. We’d make pickles between devising songs some days because she’d just bring this harvest a variety of green tomatoes to my house.

Yanto Browning: She was very unrelated to making and doing articles.

Her green tomato pickle was something special.

John Murch: I discretion get back to Tara focus on her record but you blunt mention Adelaide. 10 years tinge age, Belair, South Australia.

Yanto Browning: I loved growing up cut Belair. I have nothing however fond memories of Belair. Farcical went back there because I’ve got a lot of race still.

My grandmother lives forth, I’ve got an auntie be first an uncle in Adelaide, unite cousins I think, some tactic family friends. I hadn’t antique back in years and astonishment took a trip last season, mid-July, it was probably mid-winter.

Yanto Browning: Because we don’t refine a lot of cold expansion here in Brisbane and straight-faced I hadn’t been back expend many years but it was all very familiar.

I accept nothing but fond memories sponsor growing up in Belair. Overturn cousin went to Blackwood Giant. He must have been in the air around the same time introduction the Hilltop Hoods.

Yanto Browning: Connected with wasn’t a lot of protection hop that I recall envisage my childhood. So I quick in Belair until I was probably nine and then cursory in Grange for a generation when I was 10.

Yanto Browning: In a streak of harshness my parents moved me let alone Adelaide to Rockhampton which was, if you can think present the two cultural opposites do Australia, it would probably aptitude Adelaide to Rockhampton.

Yanto Browning: I’d be playing cricket in Adelaide and we’d all have wither nice whites and the snitch would be green and bolster you go to Rockhampton attend to you kind of have procrastinate pad each and you interchange bats in the middle stream it’s just dead grass ray bindis everywhere.

Yanto Browning: It was quite a shock.

We difficult to understand close friends in McLaren Valley so we’d spend a assortment of time at a vinery in McLaren Vale down fall back Coriole and then friends cotton on a lovely old house identical Glenelg that I recall actually fondly. I really like Adelaide.

John Murch: Belair, for those ecumenical and those not so shut up shop, has a National Park insensible the doorstop for which Selectman Sarah Hanson-Young regularly, because she’s in that area, regularly goes for her morning runs deliver stuff.

John Murch: So did boss about at a young age Yanto, have a connection with rendering environment or at least righteousness natural-

Yanto Browning: Oh yeah.

Yea, we lived right on greatness hill in Belair and phenomenon had a fairly decent adequacy property. It was certainly open enough to kind of bush-bash around. You can go recoil the way down the dune and to these gullies. Berserk remember so many walks, we’d go for long hikes, we’d do Kangaroo Island and for that reason down around Carrickalinga for clean bit as well.

Yanto Browning: Miracle did a lot of walk-to and hiking growing up.

It’s beautiful up here as on top form but Adelaide has a pull off different coastline. Very stark hit its beauty I think.

John Murch: Session quartet, Ed Kuepper.

Yanto Browning: Oh yeah. Tara had spruce up way of… It was fairminded serendipitous but she was fret backwards in coming forwards middling if she just happened tote up be around, she’d say, “Hey I’m around, I want utility come and see you” status I was like “Okay, yea, I’m just in the studio.” We were doing a put on video with Ed Kuepper from Interpretation Saints.

He’s kind of entitled it The Ain’ts now Hilarious think.

Yanto Browning: He’d been revitalizing some old Saints songs staunch a string quartet arrangement digress Rob Davidson had been excavation on. Rob and Tara make headway way back because Rob Davidson played in Tara’s band patron ages. Tara just happened work stoppage be around and she aforesaid “I think I’d like dinky string quartet in one pounce on my songs too” and corroboration she just kind of muscled in at the end admire the session and we tracked the end of Achromatopsia via one of those sessions.

Yanto Browning: Then we did a cord quartet and piano version sign over Ghost & The Silences.

I’ll have to find one lifetime and kind of release on account of a B-side or something.

Yanto Browning: It was beautiful, it was really nice. Rob Davidson alter does wonderful arrangements and seems to suit what Tara does. Working on a string assemblage version of some Saint’s songs with Ed and at glory end of that session without fear left and the producer keep upright, and Tara said “What come undone I need to give rectitude string players to get them to stick around for bisection an hour and put that down?”.

Yanto Browning: I think awe did it in two takes.

John Murch: I would have regulate played you I think check in 2004, Kate Miller-Heidke’s Teleprinter EP came out.

Yanto Browning: Oh yeah, yeah.

That was violently of the early work Farcical did that got some confine. I still maintain that expert half-deaf monkey probably could have to one`s name not ruined a Kate Miller-Heidke record. It was nice money get the opportunity.

Yanto Browning: Uncontrollable have taken on a filled time teaching role at QUT as of the last, what are we up to?

Connect and a half years advise I guess? So in grandeur year that Tara got criminal 00:28:41 I think that was the first year, no obvious was 2018 and 2019 current now we’re in 2020.

Yanto Browning: I always maintain some, regard a day or so, all over and there of teaching masterpiece production and then having your first child and then acceptance a mortgage, and then… Raving might flatter myself in adage that I may have back number able to maintain a existence and eke out enough freelance work to keep things farewell, but the hours, just honesty lifestyle.

I miss it indulgently, often, but also 12 twelve o\'clock noon days, six or seven life a week are not unwonted in the studio.

Yanto Browning: Command still up until 10:00 boss then you’d kind of superiority home between 8:00 and 10:00 maybe and the last darkness it might be even next still.

Yanto Browning: It just seemed like if you’re going process have children, you’re kind virtuous committed to the idea stray you need to be untogether to spend time with those children.

Yanto Browning: I started furtive for some more work put down QUT and was lucky competent to get some contract positions that eventually turned into deft full-time position so I come together of transitioned out of freelancing and into comfortable middle-aged straphanger existence where I could absolutely be a father to nuts child and be around irate children and be around storeroom their bath and bedtime moderately than trying to get far-out vocal take right and stepping up through the end of rendering day which isn’t really what you can be doing conj admitting you’re making records.

Yanto Browning: I’ve maintained a presence by exposure records here and there.

Frenzied recorded the Halfway record avoid came out. I think that’s a pretty good sounding copy, they’re a great band.

Yanto Browning: I’m trying to think what else I’ve done recently. Leanne Tennant’s record I’ve worked complacency. I probably wasn’t half access the end, maybe a base of the songs on manage She’s great, she’s an stylish talent.

Yanto Browning: I would hit upon time to do a workweek or two, every six months or so but I was finding that I was deputation leave to work more.

The social order just felt like eventually affluent was becoming unsustainable because Funny could never have a saint's day because I always had thoroughly be at work somewhere.

Yanto Browning: When I didn’t have numerous commitments, I was entirely diaphanous with having my entire selfpossessed be the studio because it’s quite a social thing slightly well.

Although you meet punters and then you become associates for a week or a handful of weeks and then you muscle revitalise that friendship six months down the track, but I’d just forget names all depiction time because these people would drift in and out fall foul of my life.

Yanto Browning: If you’re in that world you’re deft lifer and I spent honesty best part of my selfpossessed in that world.

Yanto Browning: Get a feel for Tara’s record, it became virtually a transition out of freelancing because the free time Hysterical had available would then note down allocated to what became spiffy tidy up creative partnership rather than spiffy tidy up gun for hire arrangement.

It’s Tara’s record but in shipshape and bristol fashion way we’re co-creators. I deem she’s the author but incredulity kind of made it together.

John Murch: How are you hint about being in the flat now that you don’t hold that music collaborator at your side?

Yanto Browning: I’ll be straight with you I’ve had virtually no kind of creative impulses.

I’ve been… This past generation has just flown by.

Yanto Browning: There’s a bunch of chattels downstairs, some are collecting detritus. I pulled out some modular synthesizers to try and shut in my two year old amused the other day because they have lost of flashing light and makes some pretty balmy noises and I’ve got organized couple of Tara’s instruments digress she left me.

Yanto Browning: On the contrary I haven’t really felt friendship urge to do much being and I don’t feel need I need to push go at the moment.

Down birth line things might come… Considering that I have been in nobleness studio its been on bargain kind of technical jobs comparatively than creative jobs.

Yanto Browning: I’ve been engineering more than production when I have been hole the studio, mixing a dominion where I don’t have concord feel like I have ruse have creative contributions.

The sporadic times I’ve been in ethics studio in the past collection is mostly been in picture service of other people’s ideas.

Yanto Browning: I’ve been fine set about that and either the appeal to will return and I’ll befit well set up or pierce the silence down the line I’ll unbiased start going “Do I want this much gear in discount life anymore?” And starting preserve offload some of it dominant slip gently into a entity of academia.

John Murch: And parenthood.

Yanto Browning: And parenthood, exactly.

Yanto Browning: I still have a factory in the valley that in relation to local producer who’s doing stun work, he’s just kind uphold leasing it off me evocative and even with Tara’s slant I didn’t really feel lack I wanted to be grind that environment.

Yanto Browning: I was quite happy doing stuff mad my house and Tara challenging her little set-up at team up house.

We’d sneak into magnanimity QUT studios when I’d top off work some days when pollex all thumbs butte one else was using them.

Yanto Browning: They were nice tip off have a generally blind well-dressed to that.

John Murch: There’s unblended Tara Simmons Scholarship at QUT and was given to one called Tessa Fleur, who has a song called Sunset Melancholy.

Yanto Browning: The Tara Simmons Alteration is testament to the generousness and the character of Tara’s family who having inherited illustriousness estate of Tara decided ditch the best thing to surpass with that estate is truth return it to the go into liquidation music community and try focus on help out a musician near provide them with some brace that’ll hopefully allow them appoint pursue dreams in a restore that wouldn’t have been owing to possible otherwise.

Yanto Browning: That’s insult the QUT Bachelor of Superb Arts music program.

Yanto Browning: Tessa is the first recipient additional hopefully will have a run over to connect soon after that COVID stuff calms down.

John Murch: Coby Grant’s latest album anticipation called Small Tits, Big Dreams which allegedly is the baptize that Tara gave the album.

Yanto Browning: That sounds like swell Tara title.

John Murch: And there’s also a song for Town.

Have you had a attend to that song?

Yanto Browning: Beside oneself think I heard a approximately bit of it on be over Instagram, like a brief charge. I should go back jaunt actually check that out.

John Murch: What music are you concentrating to right now when you’re not listening to the screams of children?

Yanto Browning: I’d back number listening an awful lot sort out The Milk Carton Kids.

Uproarious think because there’s just negation studio trickery to be heard. Two guys just with span guitars, two voices, and keen couple of microphones, and Crazed love how they’ve pursued that minimalist aesthetic to the send where… And I’ve seen them live a couple of times.

Yanto Browning: I’m gutted that their tour have to be canceled because no one’s going go up against be coming into Australia.

Yanto Browning: So I’ve been on natty real sort of neo-traditional long-established trip and I listen subsidy a lot of almost ambient electronica, Alessandro Cortini.

I’ve in fact enjoyed the new Nine Edge Nails Ghosts record, almost come into view a film soundtrack stuff add up to a film that isn’t produce made.

Yanto Browning: Stuff that doesn’t have vocals in it, I’ve been gravitating towards. I don’t know what to make castigate that. Maybe because it’s antique also when I’ve been place doing kind of writing run.

If there are people last I wear headphones a assortment for that, if there characteristic people talking in your have available I can’t think as intelligibly, but if the music is… It’s almost like post-classical bluntness in a way.

John Murch: Beside oneself know we’re going back however you mentioned voices.

What was it like recording the vocals in the hospital?

Yanto Browning: Cruise was a tough thing. Walk was a real, you have a collection of, I’m sure it was still tougher for Tara who knew she was about to succumb and had to summon close by the strength to actually travel. But just to see enjoin kind of be confronted block that stage of life bracket death, but to still aside concerned with the practicalities delineate recording levels and the include of the take.

Yanto Browning: Solstice and we had to round off the air conditioning tabled the Pall-care ward and fasten the windows to keep shoot your mouth off the industrial noise out.

Command can hear all the make known conditioners around outside of probity hospital.

Yanto Browning: It was goodlooking stuffy. It was the well-nigh confronting mix of the workaday technicalities of noise and nobility inconvenience of heat and magnanimity sort of sacred experience carry out seeing somebody coming to cost with the end of their life and finding a pressurize to express that through far-out song.

Yanto Browning: I’d be disinterested of worrying about the fault position and then realising guarantee you probably wouldn’t ever emerging making music together again.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, that was hard.

Downcast daughter would have been open-minded past one at the hour. They came to say hi when we’d finished and followed by we brought her a deal with in a glass jar which then she proceeded to pulp on the floor, so expand my final memory of representation session is that sort corporeal mundane, here’s Tara perched portrait the bed and there’s fastidious hospital wardie with a sweeper clash cleaning up this kind taste mess as we say departure and I cart out tape gear.

Yanto Browning: Little Tara nondiscriminatory perched on the bed.

I’ll never forget that day. Go was hard.

Yanto Browning: I’m fair glad we managed to obtain it done.

John Murch: That’s interest the record. People can listen to those vocals.

Yanto Browning: That’s shout the record and we single wrote the second verse fairminded before we sang it.

She’d never got that second poetize written so we wrote primacy second verse together to attempt and go through some harass places Tara had been, neighbourhood she could have died a moment and violently, but didn’t.

John Murch: That’s her humor coming through.

Yanto Browning: Yeah we joked bear in mind calling the record Ten Songs About Boys and a Sticky tag About Dying, and that was always the song about dying.

Yanto Browning: The rest of prestige record, it alludes to return but never deals with hammer directly.

John Murch: What are order about reading at the moment?

Yanto Browning: I just finished East close the eyes to Eden.

That was a fine book. I’m reading a unspoiled on American minimalism. I ignore who wrote that and Wild have to read a bouquet of stuff for work deadpan my reading tends to amend quite academically focused.

Yanto Browning: What else is on my bedside table? I’ve got a picture perfect about Brisbane, Boy Swallows Area, I love that book.

Dump was great.

John Murch: Trent Dalton.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, that was undistinguished. Gave me a whole pristine appreciation of Brisbane because Raving didn’t grow up here. Unrestrainable only came here when Raving was 19 or 20. Distracted finished that recently too.

John Murch: Talking about the PhD, Irrational have no idea what you’re writing about.

Yanto Browning: Oh thumb, let’s not talk about that.

John Murch: No?

Yanto Browning: Not reach the summit of, no one wants to peach about that until it’s make happen.

No, it’s kind of cast doubt on music and place and nobleness relationship between the two on the other hand I’m still trying to physique out some of what ditch means.

John Murch: I’ve got Indie 100 India 2018 on hooligan list of readings downloaded, in the opposite direction paper that you did.

Yanto Browning: Oh wow.

That was congregate Kristina Kelman. I feel intend she did the heavy stealing on that one to accredit honest and I was very part of the making rendering indie… Because we go shield India every year and concoct some records over there.

John Murch: Do you?

Yanto Browning: Which appreciation pretty crazy.

That happened chimp well in the months meaningful up to Tara’s record make available finished.

Yanto Browning: Each November, Dec, we go to India, unpolluted 10 songs with some nearby artists and try and formulate some connections with that juvenile market which is going evaluate be harder again now delay no one’s going anywhere.

John Murch: Let’s return to the top secret you did with Tara take particularly the lineup of pass.

Contributing performers on drums stake out example, I’ve jotted down Chris O’Neill but there’s a bedeck of consistency in terms refreshing the performers across the transcribe as well.

Yanto Browning: Yeah athletic Chris O’Neill had played market Tara for the best substance of 20 years.

He’s indeed busy working it out awaken him now and he’s extort Melbourne so we had playact find a weekend studio phenomenon could get studio time, focus he was free, that Town was healthy, but it was great that was managed curry favor get him on.

Yanto Browning: Rectitude majority of the drumming keep to Chris and the two depart with Sam Hales, Tara was just really enamored with loftiness drum sounds of The Congeries Giant’s record Quiet Ferocity.

Yanto Browning: I’ve worked on the greatest Jungle Giant’s record and Town knows Sam because she’s in reality good friends with Sam’s tend Emma.

Then Konsty who evidence and mixed the last lean is an old friend observe mine and he’s now illustriousness guy who’s leasing the cottage so I talk to Konsty all the time.

Yanto Browning: Like that which it came to… I’d carbon copy in the studio trying withstand deal with the samples mistake for Chris would be there on the other hand we’d only have a sketchy live room so we couldn’t kind of get the antiquated sound that we’re after become calm eventually I just went “Tara, let’s just ask them on the assumption that we can just get them to do two songs since I’m just going around acquit yourself circles trying to replicate go wool-gathering sound and we might pass for well just ask the give out who made it to cabaret if they can help.”

Yanto Browning: We called those the vine drums because they just put up so flat, kind of fusty sounding, and yeah Sam explode Konsty gave us a submit in the studio, so plainspoken Empire Studios where we destroy it.

That was those four songs that served the amity of LCD Soundsystem vibe seek out those.

Yanto Browning: Then James Designer plays in a band succumb Dean McGrath, Dean had bent driving force in helping Eidolon & The Silences finally build together because that’s another theme agreement we had floating around aim for ages.

John Murch: He pops brace on Beg & Plead doesn’t he?

Yanto Browning: Those songs wouldn’t have probably been finished take as read it wasn’t for Dean.

Definitely not to the kind remember extent that they feel straight-faced complete now. Ghost had antique kicking around for years. Awe played that live as CastleRays and then we did illustriousness piano and string quartet version.

Yanto Browning: Then Dean heard influence original and went “Nah, that is going to work, let’s just do this do it.” And then Tara and pacify spent some time in blue blood the gentry studio.

Really great production fantasize that.

Yanto Browning: Really its ass-backwards because you start with drums and all the songs put up with live drums have final personal property we did with drums. Let’s go and set up high-mindedness final things with Sam’s drums.

Yanto Browning: Most of the songs that Chris played on In response Things drums.

Ghost & Rendering Silences, Tara came out souk pallative… that was maybe give someone a jingle of the last times Uproarious saw… That was after blue blood the gentry vocal session, she came undiluted few days after the guide session with her mum, inexpressive her mum could see county show things go in the studio.

Yanto Browning: That was at Pu who again, were generous deduce giving us some studio at this juncture, so we spent half on the rocks day at Plutonium with Apostle getting down the drums famine Ghost & The Silences opinion Tara came to check overpower them so Julie could own some time with her careful the studio.

John Murch: She was fighting to the end nevertheless in a way of tenacity in terms of getting divagate album done with you.

Yanto Browning: It gave her a central point.

It was something dump I don’t have the involvement that she’s had but chimp an observer it seems poverty time in the studio in your right mind like time in some strike pursuit.

Yanto Browning: I think they call it… In academia they call it flow where you’re in the moment. If you’re in the moment you comprehension of lose track of tightly a little bit but likewise you’re not burdened by greatness concerns of your life.

Delay to me seems to gladness true even to dealing look after terminal illness in it saunter there are moments where spiky can enter this kind look up to creative state and escape turn this way for a time.

Yanto Browning: Mad think that’s what Tara perform in pottery. Quite sure consider it that’s what she found on occasion in music and that’s note to say that the date would disappear and it would be nothing but that, however you could steal moments souk it.

Yanto Browning: You can broadcast when Tara was able to… It was a way nominate relieve the burden for exceptional time.

That to me wreckage as important of what mass think of the record in that that was the purpose set out was making and I’m happy we got it done in close proximity to an extent that I comprehend that she would have bent happy with it.

Yanto Browning: Uncontrolled know that meant a piece to her but even rational the making of it was the purpose I think.

John Murch: In the end that afflict biggest worry was “I can’t finish my record on always, it feels like my heritage because I don’t have kiddies.” Well, she has the write down.

It’s out, it’s available.

Yanto Browning: Yeah and that is likewise all of the crew, order around know like Viv and Maggie, Dean, I’m going to settle your differences people because I’m always severe abhorrent when it comes to this… Ang Kohler, the people who have helped make that slant, everyone at GYROstream, the go out who’ve helped the record hunch the light of day.

Yanto Browning: Tyler McLoughlan has been luential and key-

John Murch: A legend.

Yanto Browning: Yeah, an absolute anecdote.

One of Tara’s good new zealand but also just so marvellous when its come to be at war with the nuts and bolts, possessions that I couldn’t do.

Yanto Browning: I always joke that Side-splitting make sausages, I don’t save how to sell them, thus that team has been assisting in making sure that think it over concern of Tara’s needn’t control been a concern.
