Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

The AMC is delighted to welcome 23 art music creators as new Associate Artists.

Spanning intercultural composition, screen music, experimental sound art and more, these artists are shaping new directions in Australian music and are proof of just how rich and varied Australian music-making continues to be. Associate Artist representation is a testament to these artists' efforts in establishing their career as music creators.

AMC CEO Catherine Haridy says: "Congratulations to our new Associate Artists. We're delighted to have such innovative composers and sound artists from a broad range of genres and styles joining the AMC. Welcoming them into the AMC collection means their work is now preserved, discoverable, and ready to reach new audiences, which is exactly what the AMC exists to do."
