Two groups we manage are Frank Yamma & band Piranpa and Warako Musica both great live acts and regarded as absolute leaders in their genre of music. Frank Yamma winning Album of the Year 1999 at the Indigenous Music Awards and Warako Musica winning Best Live World Music Act in Australia 2000 at the Australian Live Music Awards.

Events produced include "The Big Wet" benefit concert in Darwin 1998. Acknowledged as one of the largest of its kind held in The Northern Territory, the event successfully raising substantial funds for communities affected by the Katherine Flood, which was presented to the Australian Red Cross.

In 1997 Terrasphere Productions coordinated the indigenous components of the Melbourne Fringe Festival which included the "Too Deadly Concert". This was later followed by the coordination of the Melbourne City Council Indigenous Programme for Australia Day 1998/1999 and consultation and bookings of indigenous performers for the Koori Mungabareena Ngan Girra Festival Albury September 1999. Further program developments by Terrasphere Productions include the coordination of the Southgate Indigenous Arts School Holiday Program June/July 2000.

We produce regular indigenous and world music events including the concert "Trans Continental" as part of the 1998 Melbourne Fringe Festival and for the past three years, international act "Moses O'Jah" from Ghana West Africa, and recently international reggae stars "O'Yaba" from South Africa. Afro - Reggae explosion is an event we have been producing for six years and it features Melbourne's leading African and Reggae bands and DJ's in one huge night.

In August 1998 we produced an Australian indigenous cultural tour of the United States with performers from Victoria and the Northern Territory. As representatives of the Northern Territory we attended the Native American Festival in Santa Fe and "Media Trek", an Australian Tourism promotional event in New York. We have produced recordings by indigenous performers, Rocky Carbine and Frances Williams.

Australian tours coordinated include regional bush tour of Western Australia and Northern Territory with Frank Yamma & Piranpa with Lajamanu Teenage Band.

As well as been involved with indigenous and world music groups we have also worked with mainstream nationally recognised performers in the coordination of programs for festivals and events and recently a film project with international act The Village People from New York.

Over the past five years Terrasphere Productions has established a close association with the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA). This has involved working together on music recording projects such as the Aria nominated group Terrasphere Album as well as marketing; publicity and promotional roles for CAAMA sponsored concerts and events. We also manage one of their most successful recording artists, Frank Yamma.

This relationship has contributed to the establishment of a wide network of industry based contacts across Australia which, coupled with our extensive experience, facilitates Terrasphere Productions' ability to coordinate the highest standard of interstate and nationally recognised artists and programs for required events.

Simon Raynor of Terrasphere Productions also hosts an indigenous Radio show "BIG MOB" on Melbourne's leading World Music Station 106.7 PBS FM. Tune in every Thursday 11am - 1pm.
