& the Feeding Set on erhu, electric guitar, rhodes synthesiser and viola. The group included Bowditch on vocals and guitar; and her domestic partner Marty Brown (of Sodastream and Art of Fighting) on multiple instruments and producing; they recorded an album, Autumn Bone. Walker also toured with the band, and, as a member of the Feeding Set, he contributed to three extended plays and another album, What Was Left (October 2005). In June 2004, to promote Venus Traps Fly, Machine Translations toured with a line-up of Walker on vocals and guitar; Tua on keyboards and backing vocals; Iain Downie on bass guitar; and Kjirsten Robb on drums. Michael Dwyer of The Age saw their gig at the Corner Hotel and was impressed by Walker's "considered approach to live dynamics, arrangements beautifully designed around his conversational vocal style" and he was "a pretty flash guitarist, his modal solos and big, chunky rhythm freak-outs bringing plenty of excitement". Bowditch guested on lead vocals for a track, "Simple Life", with "a splash of high glamour in a too-brief cameo". In 2005 Walker composed the score for ABC-TV documentary, Girl in a Mirror: A Portrait of Carol Jerrems, on the life of Australian photographer Carol Jerrems. At the APRA Music Awards of 2005 Walker's work was nominated for Best Music for a Documentary. In October that year Machine Translations issued another EP, Wolf on a String, with six tracks. Zuel noted it had "an acoustic, low-profile feel" while mostly "the mood is languorous" however "there is menace in 'A Ghost Rides' and insistent percussion bringing on some disturbance in 'Extress'". By that time Walker and his domestic partner Tua were living in Jumbunna. On 8 June 2005 ABC Digital Radio broadcast a cover version of Willie Dixon's "Spoonful" by Machine Translations with C. W. Stoneking as the first part of The DiG Australian Blues Project. The program described their interpretation as "fantastically twisted" including a "brilliantly 'outside' guitar solo near the end". Walker recalled that at 16 or 17 he was "listening to a lot of old blues, more country style blues ... [it] really affected me, just the rawness of it and the sincerity of it". Walker produced Stoneking's albums King Hokum (2005) and Jungle Blues (October 2008). The latter provided Stoneking with an ARIA Award in 2009 for Best Roots and Blues Album and four other nominations. Machine Translations' next album, Seven
