He performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and This Is Not Art Festivals, supported Anticon on their Australian tour and released two 'Speed Presents' EPs as Mr Tappin' Fresh and The Other Half. In 2001 Speed met electronic musician Tyson Hopprich (DJ Tr!p) and in 2001 they formed The New Pollutants. From 2002 to 2004 they released a full-length album, Hygene Atoms, a 12" EP Urban Professional Nightmares and a 7" single Sid-Hop.[1] The New Pollutants sound traversed through a number of different genres including lo-fi, trip hop, electro, Commodore 64 music, 1950s and 1960s pop, comedy, alternative hip hop and electronica.[2] The New Pollutants were musically aligned with such Australian acts such as Curse Ov Dialect, The Herd, Music Vs Physics, TZU and MKB. The New Pollutants played at Australian festivals such as the Falls Festival in 2004/5, Big Day Out in 2003 and were headliners of the 2004 Adelaide Fringe Festival opening concert.[2][3] In 2004 the group was voted Most Popular Dance Act by DB Magazine readers.[4] The group also played on Triple J Radio's Mix-Up during the Amnesty Freedom Festival in 2004, Adelaide University O'Ball 2003 & Newcastle's This Is Not Art (TINA) Festival in 2002.[3] Mister Speed: The Dreamer 2006–2007After moving to Sydney in 2006, Speed signed to Creative Vibes record label and released his debut solo album The Dreamer in 2007. The album was based on hip hop, indie rock, pop, world music, electronica, reggae and experiemtal genres. A review in the Sydney Morning Herald described the album by saying "The opening sounds like a scene from The Godfather; it closes with a hybrid of hip-hop rock. In between there are snippets of 1950s French soundtracks, moody trip-hop and multiple samples. The vocals sway between Beck and Buck 65, moving from the philosophy of art to observations of love." [5] The Dreamer became a feature album on FBi Radio (NSW), Three D Radio (SA), 3PBS (Vic) and Edge Radio (Tas) and the song Everybody Needs Somebody was put up on the Triple J website for exclusive download. FilmMetropolis RescoreIn 2004 as The New Pollutants, Speed composed and produced a new soundtrack to the silent film Metropolis with Hopprich and premiered it at the 2005 Adelaide Film Festival.[6] The live performance also featured actor/singer Astrid Pill as vocalist and musician Zoe Barry as cellist. The soundtrack has been described as "an infectious and unique approach ranging from Germanic trip hop and lo-fi electronica to unforgettable classical and breathtaking cinematica." [7] Metropolis has subsequently performed at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI),[8] as a part of the 2006 Commonwealth Games Cultural Festival and at the 2006 Perth Revelations Film Festival.[9] In 2010, it was performed at the Sydney Opera House and was also played at the 2011 Mona Foma Festival in Tasmania. Since then, a newly updated score is being composed to the 2010 restoration version which has an extra 30 minutes of footage originally thought lost. The updated score was premiered at the 2011 Adelaide Film Festival [10] The People's Republic Of AnimationIn 2005, Speed composed for the first of many collaborations with The People's Republic of Animation (PRA) in a series called Errorism: A Comedy of Terrors. He received the Best Original Score award at the 2006 St Kilda Film Festival for the animated short Carnivore Reflux,[11] a film that was also a 2006 Tropfest finalist. In 2007 Speed composed for the animated short music-film Sweet and Sour which premiered at both the Adelaide Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2007 and has since won multiple awards and played at numerous international film festivals.[12] He composed music for the winning 2008 Tropfest Supershort Series film Safer In A Wild World, which was also chosen for official competition in the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France.[13] In 2009, Speed composed the music for The Cat Piano which features Nick Cave as narrator [14] and in 2010 won an APRA/AGSC Award for his work on The PRA's children's series Itty Bitty Ditties.[15] Other workSpeed composed for the 2008 Tropfest finalist film Glass and the 2011 Tropfest Finalist The Maestro.[16] He did the feature film The Tumbler, which premiered at the 2008 Perth Revelations Film Festival,[17] and was selected for the 2008 São Paulo International Film Festival [18] and has scored feature documentaries A Northern Town in 2008, which was nominated for a Dendy Award at the 2008 Sydney Film Festival,[19] and was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2008 Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards,[20] and The Snowman in 2010, which won the Australian Documentary Prize [21] and was nominated for an AFI Award.[22] Filmography
