Since 1999 the Dawn Industry website (formerly tidalportal.com) has provided a central gateway to personal, commercial and community-driven projects by Australian artist Ivan Bullock.
Over the course of two decades, Dawn Industry has taken many forms. An underground record label and distributor. A promotional site for musical colleagues and collaborators. An independent event organiser, skateboard manufacturer and more.
The current active creations are:
Minorarc (progressive metal & experimental music) Darkstereo (independent news and reviews about melancholic, underground, experimental and extreme music) Lapidaus (hand-cut and locally sourced precious gemstones)
