Reuben Ingall & David Finnigan – Kill Climate Deniers

In 2016, musician/producer Reuben Ingall and I collaborated to turn my playscript Kill Climate Deniers into an audio work – a radio play, a dance party, a walking tour of Parliament House, and most spectacularly, a brand new LP of original club bangers in the vein of classic House and Techno circa 1988-93. The album was released through Clan Analogue – you can buy it there, or stream it on Spotify or Bandcamp.

Kids Killing Kids

In 2011, myself and Sam Burns-Warr, Jordan Prosser and Georgie McAuley (aka writing collective Too Many Weapons) headed to Manila to adapt Koushon Takami’s Battle Royale novel to the stage for Sipat Lawin Ensemble. Sipat’s Battalia Royale was an unexpected hit, a hugely successful production that got way bigger than anyone planned, and soon got a little… out of hand. We subsequently produced a theatre show documenting the experience (Kids Killing Kids, later A Wake: Kids Killing Kids with Sipat), and this is ABC Radio National’s podcast exploring the event.

The Munich EP

In 2018, Jordan Prosser and I recorded a short EP of spoken word in Munich, featuring music by Fossil Rabbit.

The Palawan EPs

In 2015, Jordan Prosser and I took off to the island of Palawan in the Philippines, after a fairly hectic month at Sipat Lawin’s Karnabal Festival, and created two EPs of spoken word, including field recordings from the island.
