Cam Butler - Healing Feelings (2007)

Cam Butler is the guitarist of Silver Ray, an instrumental post-rock trio from Melbourne, Australia. His solo work is often categorized as post-rock, combining dark, sinewy rhythms of electric guitar and percussion with symphonic string section.

Cam is the founder, guitarist and main composer with internationally lauded 3 piece instrumental band, Silver Ray who have 3 critically acclaimed albums out thru Pharmacy
Records (Australia) and Brokenhorse Records (UK) 

He has released 3 solo albums Crazy Dreams (2003), Go Slow (2005) and See (Symphony No. 1) (2006). These albums feature dramatic and darkly, beautiful mini-symphonies; highly melodic and deeply personal. They combine lush and emotive guitar, drums, atmospheric guitar loops and orchestral string sections 

He has formed The Shadows of Love Orchestra to perform these albums in concert -- strings, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums,loops -- a tasty brew.

Cam has been performing since 2004 as either a solo guitarist or as a duo with Brett Poliness, drummer with Silver Ray. Using a modified 12 string acoustic guitar and loops, he creates majestic,unfolding acoustic "ragas" that are inspirational and rhythmically powerful. An album of songs with Cam on 12 string acoustic guitar, entitled Healing Feelings will be released in early 2007.

Sleepmakeswaves

Sleepmakeswaves are an instrumental rock band from Sydney, Australia. Drawing influences mainly from but not limited to post-rock, the young quartet mix driving metallic bombast with textured electronics to create a sonic space where delicate melodies and thunderous climaxes peacefully co-exist.
Since their formation in late 2006, sleepmakeswaves have rapidly established themselves as a promising and unique voice in their field. Within the space of a year the band has enjoyed considerable word-of-mouth support and have landed auspicious opening slots with post-rock luminaries such as Pelican, Laura and Meniscus on the back of their powerful live show and acclaimed demo recording.
