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.

After the whirlwind of last month’s playlist, I wanted to wind down with something calmer. Not necessarily easy listening, but pieces that shift and change more gradually and let you take in more on a first listen.

We’re ended up with a lot of jazz and improvised music this month, which is a joy, and I struggled to pare many of these albums down to an individual track. But look forward to a wild range of soundscapes, harmonies and rhythms, as we explore these masterclasses in flow.

If you’re wanting more music to explore I’d always recommend the Australian Art Music Archive, with all 1,713 previously featured tracks (roughly 170 hours of music) and my 2024 community listening project: 1,000 Curious Ears – all 12 monthly editions of that series can be found here.

Until next month, may you learn to go with the flow,
