All right, welcome back to the space. Welcome to the people in the foyer as well. There's a whole another festival going out there and they've got a bar. And I'd like to firstly apologize to all the scientists. No, I haven't discovered a time portal. I'm going to let you down straight away. My name is Ben Walsh, I'm a drummer and this little drum contraption I'm about to play for you. You could try to look this up online and you wouldn't find any explanation at all. So I decided I'd like to just talk to you for a second about how I got to this point of time. Basically about 35 years ago I was born in a little town in the central coast of New South Wales called Gospherd. It's very synonymous with drumming at all. And before I could talk I had the urge to drum to hit things. My parents heard a huge crash in the kitchen one day and they came down. Oh no, what's happened? There was with pots and pans banging them together. Stole a couple of cake tins, took them upstairs, wouldn't give them back. Primary school show and tell was a drum kit. High school was all the bands touring around in illegal bars with pub bands like no worries and things like this. High school, same university. Now I'm a drummer. And that's what I've always been. I can never think of a day where I have an accept of the fact that I'm an artist, a musician. Just recently I was in Womad which is a fantastic festival and I was on stage with some phenomenal musicians and drummers from all over the world. And I was confronted by one of them. He took me aside and he said, what are you doing here? And I said, what do you mean? He said, well, you're a young white Australian drummer. What do you have culturally to bring to the table? What can you offer? It kind of shocked me. I was a bit hurt but I'm really glad it happened because it culminated in me kind of searching, being an artist in Australia at this time is quite difficult, especially in musician. When we think about what can we really add to the why of wanting to be an artist is there but the how? What can we truly add? What can we do in this day and age that hasn't been done? How can we communicate? And so I started to slowly evolve this kind of concepts. One of the things I do. And I've always built things out of junk and you can see this is not a traditional thing I'm about to do here by any sense of the word. These drums are made of rubbish but I'm giving them another fantastic purpose right about now. And taking the waist and taking a whole bunch of techniques and in that void, I guess cultural void, they were I existed. I discovered some fantastic techniques and through my I am a sponge for music. I love any type of big drum, little drum, whatever instrument. I love it and don't get me wrong, I'm not against tradition by any means. But I discovered some interesting techniques, this multi-directional drum form that I've now taken from the humble streets of Newtown and Macville from the reverse garbage where I bought these barrels all the way to Broadway, all over the world. I've been touring this for five years people and I'm so excited to play it for you today. And thank you. And hey, I'm not, this is not a big self-inflated moment. No, I'd like to dedicate this right about now to all the people with a small idea in a big city that seems too difficult or a big idea in a small country town that you think, what am I thinking about? Just go for it. Dive into the deep end people, into that creative pool, explore the void, enjoy the void. And like I said, I'm not against tradition, so I'd like to leave a little speech and play this for you now, but I'd like to leave with this all tradition is sacred and totally deserves our respect. But how can a tradition form? How can it be passed on without the spirit of invention and exploration? Thank you.
