Screened NITV(National Indigenous Television) 2006 (On going Project) - Great Fusion AffairCurrently Nicolette is writing a 'world music' funk fusion album with members of many ethnic/ Australian communities, refugees, or second generation Australians. The album is a fusion of traditional musics from countries around the world and contemporary technology. It maintains a comfort zone with known and accepted styles of music and weaves in music from other countries. The album is about Home and what that means to each of us. Not only will this keep those musics and traditions alive here for these musicians and singers but it also introduces Australia to the wealth of talent and diversity we have here on our shores, thereby broadening our horizons. The album involves musicians, singers and rappers from such diverse communities as those of Tibet, Africa, India, Greece, Ireland, Lebanon and the South Sea Islands. It features a track with Aboriginal musicians and expresses the depth and beauty of the culture that is the true indigenous culture of Australia. 2006 - One Two Three and the DogMusic director / co-composer for multi- media theatre show opening in Blue Room Perth.
