Mix Artist

In the heart of the Byron Shire, just 5 min from Mullum town centre, lies one of the most professional music recording studios on the Australian East Coast. The Mix Artist recording facility is a custom-built recording studio, designed and built by world-class studio designer John Sayers. The large control room and the three independent live rooms are acoustically-treated to the highest standards. The studio has plenty of daylight, and line-of-sight between all studio rooms. The centre piece of the studio is a large scale analogue console with 36 inline channels plus a beautiful selection of high-end outboard gear. The studio is operated by award-winning engineer Jan ‘Yarn’ Muths (Fyah Walk, Jesse Morris Band), in addition to freelance engineers Jim Bonnefond (Kool & The Gang, Savage Garden, The Cockroaches), Saphia Smereka (Bernard Fanning) and Nathan Stanborough (From Crisis To Collapse).

Distinguished circus performer and holder of 56 Guinness World Records, Space Cowboy, has now forged a new direction in fine art that combines emerging technology.

His latest art exhibition ‘Enjoy the Ride’ will be held at Otherworld in Byron’s CBD, and combines digital with traditional mediums, which encourages exploration and interaction from viewers.

Space Cowboy told The Echo, ‘“Enjoy the Ride” introduces the use of augmented reality (AR) technology, transforming the artworks into interactive worlds. It’s open to all ages, and I lead guests through the realms of the extraordinary, which includes the death-defying act of sword swallowing, to the intrigue of spoon bending using the power of the mind’.

Eight live events 

Spanning eight live events, he says the exhibition is ‘designed to captivate both families and art aficionados’. Scheduled shows are from 5pm on April 5, 6, 7, and April 12, 13, 14, with matinees from 3pm on April 6 and 13. 

Space Cowboy adds, ‘The Otherworld Gallery offers a groundbreaking interactive light and art experience, featuring artists from across the world who work at the leading edge of art and technology. Entry includes access to all Otherworld’s incredible interactive installations, live performances and the all-new “Enjoy the Ride” exhibition. Refreshments available’.
