25.01.2022 Ky and I ran an online songwriting workshop a week or so ago, at the end of which, the kids who weren't too shy videoed themselves singing it with us, so we could edit it together. Sing along!
24.01.2022 Mal and Ky e-gig number 4 coming up... on the 4th! https://www.facebook.com/events/3181717218562391
23.01.2022 My favourite song of all time ANYTHING happens to be written by Mal Webb and I GET TO PLAY IT! Here’s me practicing it...
21.01.2022 For those who missed our gig on Saturday, it can be seen here (with the song list and times in the description): https://youtu.be/k21TLzKz3Ms . Excellent piano guest work from Kylie's son Gerard, brill tech/stream/graphic wrangling by Will, and Ky's aunty Moira got in first to be our phone-in loop guest! My new song, Home Sweet Homeostasis, is at 27:42 (that which uses my Risset-Shepard-Harmonic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZHPIGMWpfg looped live... it went pretty well, except for a little retake of the transition into the reverse part!)
21.01.2022 Well, our Mal Webb and Kylie Morrigan no-repeats e-gig series is done! 10 hours, 77 songs, 2 voices, 2 loopers, 12 instruments, 4 phone-in loops, 6 special guests and one awesome tech crew (onya Will!) Thanks heaps to all who came along and here're the links, so you can watch them in your own time (with the songlists and times in their descriptions).

20.01.2022 Before anything else, I’d like to thank all of us for staying home. It’s really important and it’s really working! Self Isolation Smile was originally written as a songwriting exercise (thanks for the inspiration Alex Hilvert, Jaq Bryan, Shelley Van Der Werff and Tanya Edlington) and then the fabulous Mal Webb had the brilliant idea of asking family and friends (that we were supposed to be seeing as we toured this year) to record it and send it to us to edit together. I called the email ‘A little project idea’, blithely unaware of how much editing would ensue! It became a rather large project, but, it was such a happy experience as we got to see all these beautiful smiling faces all day long. Thanks to Dominic and Will Hook for their amazing video editing tips and tricks!
17.01.2022 Hey, thanks everyone for coming to our gig tonight! For those who missed it live, here's the replay of it:
17.01.2022 As we in Victoria head deeper into lockdown, I thought now might be a good time to upload this to Facebook. I wrote and recorded it back in May for Sabine Linke... and the folks at Masada Private Hospital. I timed it precisely to the 20 seconds for which staff are meant to squigel their hands for (that's my word for it!). Kylie Morrigan on violin and voice and me on everything else. Graphic from World Health Organisation (WHO). And also, check out the live action version! https://www.facebook.com/524617171/videos/10157117076882172/ See more
16.01.2022 This Thursday at Open Studio! I've been practicing my "Flight of the Fliege Flatulante" for it (among other things, of course!) https://fb.me/e/FRcvWg2y
16.01.2022 Ky and I recorded the wedding music for this and we're rather proud of it. Onya Sally and Andy! It's brilliant! Thanks also to Mendelssohn and Wagner. P.S. You may recognise Sam the Mouse from our Self Isolation Smile video: https://youtu.be/mDP0QI6hNWY
15.01.2022 It's tonight! In Melbourne! Fun shall be had! And crepes too!
14.01.2022 Half an hour to showtime! We were just rehearsing with the special guest... ooooh!
14.01.2022 And now, the Live Action version of my hand sanitizing song! With Masada Private Hospital nursing staff Sabine Linke, playing the patient, and Laura McIlroy as ...the nurse. Videoed by Sherie Dishington. Written, recorded and edited in May 2020 by Mal Webb. Violin and voice by Kylie Morrigan. Graphic from World Health Organization (WHO). To see the graphic only version, go to: https://www.facebook.com/524617171/videos/10157106979347172/ It's all precisely timed to the 20 seconds for which staff are meant to squigel their hands (that's my word for it).

14.01.2022 Here's a little song I wrote about my Dad and several leguminous lessons (although Cashew isn't a legume). We're going to premiere it, with its epic 12 instrume...nt loop (mostly Ky!), at our e-gig this Saturday (link on my profile pic). Pod My Dad found it appallingly odd When his students didn't know that peas grew in a pod Not a can on a shelf or a bag in a freezer He helped each teach themself to be a clever geezer They don't know they don't know what they don't know 'Til they find it right under their nose hiding there in plain sight So Dad gave them the full pea origin story It was jolly enthralling, neither boring nor gory But ironically, 3 decades later, as I ate a carob pod Dad asked, "What's that?" And on the other foot the shoe was shod Ah! You know you don't know what you don't know You might find it right under your nose hiding there in plain sight The more that you learn, the more you learn That there's more to learn, lurking in turn, hiding there in plain sight I was more than forty, I'm not ashamed to tell When it dawned on me I'd never seen a cashew shell So I sought the full cashew origin story Of this Brazilian tree fruit in all its orangey glory But its crazy nutcase's internal fluid's infernal And in turn returns the yield of but a solitary kernel So yep, I know I don't know what I don't know I might find it right under my nose hiding there in plain sight The more that you learn, the more you learn That there's more to learn, lurking in turn, hiding there in plain sight It waits patiently, invitingly Crying "look at me! I've been right here of your life in plain sight" When Dad got older and forgot what he'd been told he'd been told Friends would remind him and then he'd get to learn it all over again New tricks for all dogs, no use by date Let the cat be curious, it's never too late, to wonder What is it? What's in it? Who made it? And how? Where's it from? How'd it get here? How's it work? Wow! Is it renewable? Repairable? Recyclable? Reusable? A choir of inquiry's the required task The only truly dumb question is the one you don't ask Yes, you know you don't know what you don't know You might find it right under your nose hiding there in plain sight The more that you learn, the more you learn That there's more to learn, lurking in turn, hiding there in plain sight It's not camouflaged, creeping about It's just standing out, flying a kite, looming large in plain sight Maybe it's more like a butterfly Prepupatedly biding its time til it's ripe to take flight Perhaps it's a seed, that'd be apt Knowing growing needs rain and sunlight to sprout out and gain height You know you don't know what you don't know You might find it right under your nose hiding there in plain sight Mal Webb 2020
14.01.2022 For those who couldn't quite get their head around my Risset thang, Kylie's helped by animating my transcription of it.

10.01.2022 To watch the Mal and Ky and Formidable Vegetable Glastonbury gig we played last night, go to https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=1172540979771989 . We start at 55 mins.
08.01.2022 Next Saturday, in our e-gig, https://www.facebook.com/events/2540012642766117/ , we'll be playing my new song, "Home Sweet Homeostasis". It's based around a Ris...set rhythm / Shepard tone / Harmonic Series groove I've made, https://youtu.be/rZHPIGMWpfg , as well as the reversal of the beatbox part with a guitar part (that's the drop!) https://soundcloud.com/malwebb/risset-mal-reverse-guitar . Beware, it might do your head in! Of course, when I perform it, I'll loop it all live. Oh, and here're the lyrics... so far (I'm nearly settled on it!) http://malwebb.com/homeo.html See more
05.01.2022 That's right! This Sunday, April 4, 2:15-3pm, Ky and I are playing a set as us at The Valley Market in Warburton, as well as also playing with Woody's World at 1:15pm!
04.01.2022 Snap! Brenna's drawing and my song, http://malwebb.com/away.html , both grew out of a bunch of school workshops we did together as Formidable Vegetable, with Charlie Mgee, Kylie Morrigan and James McLennan. Good times!
01.01.2022 Looking forward to Sunday! We're going to play Ky's song, "Factories in China"... its first online outing!
01.01.2022 It's this Saturday! With guest violinist Sarah Curro! And we'll be doing my new song, Pod, http://malwebb.com/pod.html which features Kylie Morrigan far outdoing me on the multi-instrumental front (8, at last count!)
