Welcome to the Australian Art Music playlist! A monthly playlist of classical, jazz, experimental and electronic music focused on contemporary Australian composers, musicians and sound artists.

2023 has had a wealth of new music, and it’s been a pleasure to pull together some of the most recent releases for this month’s playlist. In a time when the future is looking scarier and scarier for independent artists to earn from streaming (including Spotify’s proposed required 1000 streams before payment), it’s so important to support our musicians who are creating and commenting on contemporary art and culture. Find some music to have on repeat, discover a new fave, buy merch, see a gig.

Keep music alive, this Australian Music Month.
