Cameron Goold: Dodginomics

Abstract

Dodginomics tackles social, political and economical aspects of our society. The economy. A world shift. We see the rapid growth of the corporate dollar, whether it is banks or phone companies accruing major profit only to cull jobs or fold completely. We've seen the shift in policy on border protection through dog whistler politic. We've seen change in immigration policy to a return of the 50s ozzie model. Or in the recent budget, with a shift from health to war: 'money from medicine - penicillin to pistols'. Dodginomics - a composition of slammin beats - twisted, distorted and laid down by producer Cameron Goold, featuring the vocal talents of Arnold Slamm, aka Cam G. A virtual scape of 'my world, this time', Cameron has produced a 'sonic portrait' - a barrage of beats intertwined with the haunting shrill of the gumleaf melded with a dare-say la bafoon pastiche, combined with a to-the-point mc'd twist on the world in its present climate.
