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.

Music can invoke memory, personality, and the feeling of a place. Many of the works on this month’s playlist are inspired by people or places, or event and images remembered and imagined. Others inspire me to remember moments or evoke a sense of wonder I associate with vast landscapes and architectural marvels.

The playlist purposefully meanders, through genres and instrumentation, and while not necessarily mediative – I hope it allows space to ponder and consider any wandering thoughts or reactions.

If you’re still wanting more music to explore I’d always recommend the Australian Art Music Archive, with all 1,430 previously featured tracks (roughly 145 hours of music) and our new community listening project: 1,000 Curious Ears – the August edition of that playlist is available here and the whole series can be found here.

Until next month, may you take...
