17. Daniel Farrugia: Original Music, Drums and Collaborations with Angus & Julia Stone and The Cat Empire
Description
This conversation was recorded at the home of the very special guest, Daniel Farrugia!
We discussed his original music project, the albums he released, listening to music on long drives with family, the home recording experience, touring, previous work with Angus and Julia Stone, his current gig with The Cat Empire, and so much more!
Daniel Farrugia has established himself as one of Australia’s most sought-after musicians for both recording and touring. Contributing to a vast array of projects, he is perhaps best known for his collaborations with The Cat Empire, Luke Howard Trio, Angus and Julia Stone, Tina Arena, The Bamboos, Missy Higgins, Renee Geyer, and Tinpan Orange.
In 2018, Farrugia released his first solo album, 'Drums & Omnichord, Amongst Other Things', followed by 'Replicants' in 2021 and 'Avalanche' last year (2023).
I’ve been a big fan of Danny’s music for a long time, from his session work in the studio, live drumming and his original music too, so it was special to be able to record one of our chats about his various musical adventures, and a real honour to be able to have him as part of this project.
