MEET Fletcher, an emerging local DJ with some seriously talented tunes.

Resident DJ at Neverlands bar in Coolangatta, Cory Fletcher has been hitting the decks professionally for three years.

He's rocked shows such as Coachella in the states and has worked with top artists from Regurgitator to hip-hop star 360.

Fletcher said he loved DJ-ing and hoped he could do it forever.

"If I could keep doing this for the majority of my life I'd be a happy man," he said.

He said it all started because musical talent was in the family, and he'd always wanted to get involved.

However as he loved dance music he did it a little differently.

"I really wouldn't be where I am without Neverlands," he said.

Fletcher's next big set will be at Brisbane's Stereosonic festival on December 2.

Hitting the decks every night makes DJ Cory a happy man

Though were firmly in the era of the MP3, theres a good deal of physical media thats still getting used today. CDs remain the easiest way to listen to music in our cars, and their circular forebears, vinyl records, continue to enjoy popularity with analog purists, DJs, and the kids who fancy themselves one or the other. But the medium sandwiched between those two, historically speaking, has largely disappeared: Cassette tapes are not quite recent enough to be compatible with our current hardware and not quite old enough to be an object of our nostalgic interest. The cassette is the focus, however, of an installation by artist Stephen Cornford, though the piece isnt concerned with tapes so much as the machines that play them. Cornfords piece, Binatone Galaxy, is a gallery full of vintage cassette players that play nothing but themselves.

The variety of machines Cornfords work employs, some 28 models, including units from Sharp, Sanyo, and one dubbed the Binatone Galaxy, makes for an interesting tableau on a purely visual level. But Cornford isnt concerned with how the machines look so much as how they sound. Using custom-made cassette players outfitted with a lo-fi microphone, the installation fills the room with the sounds of the machines themselves--the whirring of the motors and the rhythms of the tape heads--activated by the viewers presence through the use of motion-detecting sensors. With a few people pacing around the gallery, you get tape players sounding off from all sides--an immersive symphony of a near-extinct technology.

The piece was about making the cassette medium into an "autonomous and somewhat indeterminate instrument," Cornford says, but discerning listeners will find that each machine is really a unique instrument unto itself. When amplified through his microphone-equipped tape, the machines "totally assert their individuality," he says."The strength of the motor, the material the casing is made of, the age of the amplifier, and a dozen other material qualities of the mechanics, housing, and electronics--all of these things not only colour the sound but in a lot of cases change it beyond recognition. A metal-cased first generation 1960s machine has a high piercing tone whereas, perhaps surprisingly, the '80s black plastic ones tend to sound warmer just due to the resonance of plastic rather than of metal."

On his website, Cornford, whos also a musician, offers a CD composed entirely of tracks made from the cassette machine sounds--a sort of mixtape of the machines that gave birth to that very format.

The Binatone Galaxy piece itself was first installed in London last year, and it can currently be found at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany, where it will reside through January. Its a somewhat unusual celebration of the machines we were forced to use before we could skip from one track to the next with a push of a button, but while digital audio file formats and the devices that play them certainly make it easier for us to listen to music, a room full of iPods wouldnt sound like much, micd or not.

Voters made short order of an abbreviated Special Town Meeting warrant Monday night at Sippican School, approving all five articles in just over one hour.

Approximately 70 voters turned out for the Nov. 26 Special Town Meeting and approved using town Community Preservation Act (CPA) money to help fund a Habitat for Humanity home build project. They also OKd changing the date of the annual Town Meeting, funding mold remediation in the Marion Town House, and doing away with drinking alcoholic beverages on any town beach unless by permit.

All five warrant articles generated conversation, but none as much as Article S2, in which the Area Habitat for Humanity chapter sought $30,000 in CPA funds for the purpose of building the first Habitat home in Marion.

Were excited because this will be our first in Marion. Weve done eight in Wareham so far, Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity Immediate Past President George McTurk told Town Meeting Monday.

McTurk went on to explain how a family gets a Habitat home. He said the family must have a job to pay a monthly mortgage, have decent credit and have an income level no more than 60 percent of the median Marion income level. Also, the family must contribute 300 hours in sweat equity to the construction of the house.

We do not require a down payment. But its not a giveaway. Habitat is a hand up, not a hand out, McTurk said.

For what it costs to live in public housing, families pay to live in a home of their own, he said.

This gives them private ownership, which leads to better citizenship, McTurk said.

The local Habitat chapter asked for a total of $30,000 in Community Preservation Act funds $10,000 from open space allocated funds, $10,000 from affordable housing funds, and $10,000 from undesignated funds to take care of expenses associated with acquiring the property at 185 Wareham Road, located near Turks Restaurant on Route 6. Originally, Habitat asked for $50,000 but pared that request to $30,000 at a Community Preservation Committee (CPC) public hearing on funding requests Oct. 10.

The Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity plans to build a 1,100 square foot home on a 22,000 square foot lot that has an existing building on it.
