History
In 2007-2009, guest editors collaborated with the Australian Music Centre to produce the bi-annual Resonate Journal exploring a particular theme of currency in Australian new music. The publishing of the Journal is currently on hold. This online publication was the successor of 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.
Sounds Australian (54 issues published between 1987 and 2006) 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.
