For over a decade, the Sound Mapping series has traced the evolving landscapes of experimental music across the globe. This chapter turns its ear to Australia, a continent whose sonic expressions are as vast, isolated, and idiosyncratic as its geography. The artists featured in this compilation explore a wide terrain of auditory possibilities, from shimmering drones and granular textures to fractured electronics and abstract field manipulations. There’s a rawness here, a certain openness to the sound, perhaps born from the distances that separate cities and scenes, or from the continent’s deep temporal layers of presence and absence. These works seem to breathe with a spatial consciousness, attentive to both the expanse and the minutiae of sound.
