Sound production students take part in out-of-this-world collaboration

Students from the Advanced Diploma of Sound Production recently worked with international group The Cambodian Space Project, helping to record and mix songs for their upcoming album The Golden Phoenix.

Drawing inspiration from the legends of Cambodia's bygone era of rock n' roll, The Cambodian Space Project has enjoyed sustained success since forming in 2009 - particularly in Australia, having played at the WOMADelaide Festival in 2013 and even releasing a duet with Aussie music royalty Paul Kelly.

The band is known for its unique sound - fusing together rock and soul to create fresh takes on beloved genres - and a love of '60s psychedelic motifs, employed in their album covers, costumes and staging.

For Advanced Diploma of Sound Production student Matthieu Rabot, whose music taste spans RnB, soul and hip-hop, The Cambodian Space Project's cross-genre style was very intriguing.

"I didn't know of the group before I started working with them, but they sound great, and they have a very unique style that I have never heard before," said Rabot.
