Having grown up playing piano but primarily writing on guitar, Ivan found himself returning to the instrument during long stretches of solitude in the Western Desert. Ivan explains, \"I bought a piano when I moved out there and started writing on it, which was something I'd not really ever done before.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deep connection to place remains central to the album's identity. Rather than recording elsewhere, Ivan chose to make the record on Arrernte Country, where many of the songs were written and where their emotional landscape felt most at home. \"The songs I've been doing for some time now always feel really grounded in the desert country. We organised a show the night before recording at the local tin shed theatre on the banks of the dry river bed that runs through town, The Totem Theatre. This way we had the pressure of getting the songs together in front of people.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusically, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOf Nothing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e sits somewhere between alternative rock and desert-folk.

It's meant to drive forward with a kind of quiet intensity. Some soft moments of longing and memory.

Throughout the record, Ivan returns to recurring themes of longing, love, desperation and the strange futility that shadows everyday existence. It also represents a continuation of a lifelong relationship with songwriting.
