Please share this tribute to Sean Baxter, put together by Will Guthrie and his daughter Annalee-Rose.

VALE SEAN BAXTER 1970-2020 We are crushed by the terrible news of Sean's passing. The Melbourne (and all over) experimental / improvised / noise scene took a huge blow just a few days before the start of the confinement, with the passing of legendary drummer, noise artist, curator, DIY stalwart, lover and enthusiast for all things strange, fukkd and brutal Sean Baxter. I made a radio show of his music, with a few anecdotes, stories and quotes thrown in.
