The album is released on vinyl by Program Records and digitally by Chapter Music on 16 October 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is named after a creek that runs beneath a Tasmanian rainforest, a recording of which appears briefly on the album. Subterranean geological vibrations combine on Maydena Creek with modern distortions and surreal imagery to form a compelling and hallucinatory work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a typical Chesworthian move, the music explores two techno forces from very different creative camps: the quirky 1970s Fun Machine organ, with its surprisingly credible drum machine and chord generator, and the more egg-headed Moog Subharmonicon, which draws on forgotten early 20th-century electronic instruments such as the Trautonium and Rhythmicon. Chesworth combines the two to generate his characteristic polyrhythms and deep harmonic undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an album of off-kilter but strangely catchy electronic pop, underpinned by its experimental vibes. Maydena Creek also sees David return to singing on three tracks, after decades of instrumental composition \u0026amp; working with other vocalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sound Merch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47630898364588,"sku":"PROGRAM-006","price":50.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1779\/6353\/files\/DAVD-CHESWORTH.png?v=1792127150","url":"https:\/\/sound-merch.com.au\/products\/david-chesworth-maydena-creek-lp-vinyl","provider":"sound-merch.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
