Musical points of departure, arrival and the spaces between.
From Karratha to Canberra - Darwin to Hobart, Sound Travellers is pleased to announce our first round of funding with tours that cover every state and territory of this wide brown land. Between June and November 2008, Australia will be treated to ome of the most exciting new sounds the artists of this country have to offer.
Sound Travellers is a new project funded by the Australia Council’s Music Board to support individuals and small to medium sized organizations in the promotion and national touring of sound art/electronica, improvised jazz and contemporary classical music.
The artists that will be touring through the second half of the year represent every state and will be travelling the length and breadth of the country, plus many of the places in between. A total of 13 tours, over 60 artists and more than a few roadtrips and flights with over 50,000 kilometres to be travelled, Sound Travellers is helping these musical journeys come to a place near you.
