House/Music: Andrew Tuttle and Darren Cross

Darren Cross is one of Australia’s most stalwart leaders of alternative DIY music culture. He first turned heads in the 1990s in his groundbreaking band Gerling. As D.C Cross, Darren has continued to refine and define the notion of ecstatic guitar, a uniquely Australian take on the solo instrumental guitar.

Andrew Tuttle dwells in an exploratory musical world, where the five-string banjo sits serenely and purposefully with shimmering waves of decay, reverberation and processed electronics. Holding a space that is abundant and generous, Tuttle makes outsider music that turns its listeners into insiders.
