THERE were moments during the recording of Collector's EP Pacing The Perimeter that Jason Campbell and his mates were almost arrested.

As an experimental electronic artist, Campbell is used to seeking out unusual locations to collect field recordings for his music. Pacing The Perimeter saw the Novocastrian visit often-maligned industrial sites such as the former BHP Steelworks, the Port Waratah Coal Terminal and the disused Wangi Wangi Power Station.
