Cartoon Physics started life as a project of Peter Ayscough and Sam Magriplis of Brisbane Australia. Pete and Sam have been collaborating since the mid 90's when they played together in Edie's Playpen - also from Brisbane. Following the inevitable split of Edies', Sam joined the moderately successful Mocking Room, while Pete regressed to his home studio to continue writing. Sam moved to Melbourne for a few years, eventually retuning to Brisbane in late 2007. In 2008 he and Pete began a new musical collaboration: Cartoon Physics.
