Sounds Australian Journal

Sounds Australian

The Sounds Australian Journal was published twice a year, with each issue focussing on a particular subject area and guest-edited by members of the music community.

Sounds Australian Journals can be purchased for $7.70 each.

The resonate journal

The AMC's hard-copy Sounds Australian (54 issues published between 1987 and 2006) has recently been superseded by the resonate journal, which is a part of the AMC's new web magazine, resonate.

Sounds Australian was published twice a year, with each issue focussing on a particular subject area and guest-edited by members of the music community. It has featured topics including: Australian tertiary music education; Australian music for the screen; new music performance; the teaching and learning of composition; and Australian music discourse.

Across the 19 years of Sounds Australian's existence, contributors have included some of Australia's leading musical thinkers, arts practitioners, musicologists, and educators.

Sometimes controversial, always informative, this collection of documentation on Australian musical life continues to provide an important resource in discovering the issues, the thinking, and the events of each year.
