This online publication has superseded the AMC's hard-copy Sounds Australian (54 issues published between 1987 and 2006), which featured topics such as Australian tertiary music education,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 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.
