Ken Done loves music as much as he loves colour, and he tells stories the same way he paints: it’s vibrant. You might know his work from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Vivid Sydney last year, the placemats in your house when you grew up, or your year 10 art class. His work is iconic. He sat down with Mia to share the stories and songs that have defined his 80-year love affair with Sydney Harbour, including a James Morrison collaboration, a dance with Audrey Hepburn, a long marriage, and a purple office.

This episode was produced by Tanya Ali and Mia Hull.

Today on the show we have a very special guest. Fresh off the plane from New York is ambient pastel princess, james K! Last year brought her third studio album, Friend, a favourite here at fbi radio. It’s sonic world is an all-encompassing daydream, filled with different memories at every turn. Her die-cast steel blades tenderise your heart. Off the back of her tour with Smerz, she joins us in studio today. 

This episode was presented to you by Nick Hibbs, produced by Alex Kennedy. Out of the Box is recorded at the fbi station in Redfern, which is on unceded Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to Gadigal elders past and present and recognise the ongoing colonial violence committed across this country. Wherever you’re tuning in from in so-called Sydney, the land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
