Editorial Policy

resonate is Australia's only specialist online magazine devoted specifically to Australian composers, sound artists and their art form.

While the Australian Music Centre mostly solicits interviews, articles and concert reviews for publication in resonate, we also encourage submissions from our readers, but please note: forwarding an unsolicited article does not guarantee publication. Writers should contact the editor to discuss their work first.

If you are interested in writing for resonate please email Danielle Carey [] an expression of interest along with your CV, a short bio, and recent examples of your work.

Blog

The resonate group blog is a space for members of the new music community to discuss and reflect on events, ideas or creative works. By blogging on issues about various aspects of new music, it aims to elicit discussion amongst readers.

Features

Each month we publish analysis, discussion and commentary about new music from some of Australia's leading musical thinkers, arts practitioners, musicologists, and educators.

Interviews

Each month we talk to composers, performers and sound artists about recent performances and current projects, gaining insight into their compositional ideas and music aesthetics.

Reviews

Each month we publish reviews of new music events around the country. Any performance featuring at least one work by an Australian composer or sound artist is eligible to be reviewed here.

Discussion forum

Discussion about music is crucial to its existence. Furthermore, engaging in discussion with others who have similar interests to you can be stimulating, challenging and fun! The forum is a space where users can discuss the diverse issues raised throughout resonate.

Journal

Every few months, guest editors collaborate with the Australian Music Centre to produce the resonate journal exploring a particular theme of currency in Australian new music.

Journal proposals should be forwarded to Danielle Carey []

This online publication has superseded the AMC's hard-copy Sounds Australian (54 issues published between 1987 and 2006), which has featured topics including: Australian tertiary music education;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