Cale Sexton's forthcoming album 'Sustain' is a composition for computer-controlled bells and electronics, featuring the Federation Bells (Melbourne) and commissioned by City of Melbourne. Cale Sexton now shares a new track from the record, titled 'The Smell of Dirt', premiered by Cyclic Defrost.
In reflection of the record, Bob Baker Fish of Cyclic Defrost writes: "Melbourne artist Cale Sexton's (Butter Sessions) new album 'Sustain' was created using Federation Bells, which are a permanent harmonically-unique kinetic sound installation comprising 39 inverted bells located in Birrarung Marr, Melbourne. They're also programmable, where Sexton like Pantha Du Prince and Christina Tester before him was commissioned by The City Of Melbourne to create his own unique composition. The interplay between bells and the additional electronic instrumentation on this extended tripped out motorik piece is nothing short of beguiling."
