Written and produced by Jason Sweeney on Kaurna Yerta, 2017.

The world is so loud. Surely this is the time to stop and enjoy the silence?

For this micro publication I invited a small selection of artists, writers, thinkers and designers to respond, each in their own way, to notions of listening, space, stillness and productivity, light and dark, noise and the sound of the future.

Includes contributions from Julie Vulcan, Leah Barclay and Dale A Wright.
Edited by Em König.

about

In 2016 I undertook a ‘quiet odyssey’ across four colonised cities in so-called Australia, searching out and mapping quiet spaces in and amongst these built environments. I wanted to discover as many zones of quiet or retreat in these cities and make compositions in response to these locations. I created maps and listening walks that took me from space to space. My desire was to ask a simple question: can you find a way to release yourself, if only temporarily, from the noise of the world? This collection is a sonic memorial to these spaces and a musical act of quiet preservation.

This heartbreakingly beautiful music must have been born of Ukraine's troubles of 2014. It is all the more poignant now, in 2022, against the unspeakable cruelty being visited on the people of that country. Do something for Ukraine. Max North
