Leighton Craig
Over the past 20+ years Leighton Craig has followed a low-tech/econo pathway to documenting keyboard works, songs, field recording and sound installation. He has also played in a clutch of key Brisbane outsider music combos, including inter alia The Lost Domain, The Deadnotes and Primitive Motion (with Sandra Selig). Following a handful of solo releases on the Room 40 label and his own Kindling imprint, his latest album “Diamond Eye” was released on French label Bruit Direct Disque earlier this year.
