Listen to the Australian Art Music playlist: May 2022

Welcome to the Australian Art Music playlist! A monthly playlist of Classical, Jazz, Experimental & Electronic music focused on contemporary Australian composers, musicians and sound artists.

This month’s playlist is an odd one. It started out with me looking at the sky, pondering the stars, and has expanded into contemplations of death, mourning, bird song, and distant landscapes. In many ways this is a playlist about distance, transition, and contemplation – very much pre-sunrise thoughts. Unlike most of my playlists, I think this one bears listening to in order – if only so you can hear me pondering from piece to piece.
