Experimental Music:
audio explorations in Australia
Written by artists, producers and participants in alternative music-making, Experimental Music: audio explorations in Australia explores the development of forms, ideas and scenes from the 1970s to the present.
It brings together a wide range of musical experimentation, from post-punk, noise, appropriation, electronic dance and listening music, to free improv, computer process music, experimental radio, instrument building and audiovisual fusions. Experimental Music illustrates how these forms have influenced each other to create a fertile and diverse musical culture in Australia, and highlights why it is vital to question, experiment and break the rules.
