The booklet of their first disc describes re-sound as a continuous project in sound.
Twelve years on, in 2010, that emphasis on exploring sound still anchors the group’s work. Since Quiet on the Bridge in 2007, re-sound has shifted from a workshop-based, group-centred approach to individual works and their interpretation. The four composers here worked with a range of performers to find practices suited to each piece.
Sometimes performers received a finished score and brought their own reading to the studio. Elsewhere the score grew out of workshops between composer and players. In one case the work was assembled from sonic snapshots taken during the sessions for this disc.
The result is a diverse set of new compositions that refuses stylistic unity or aesthetic bias. Listeners are asked to negotiate sharp juxtapositions of musical expression. Those contrasts add another layer of meaning and open a new view of Australian music-making.
In the artist’s words
These three songs are from my song cycle From Dawn to Spring – settings of poems by e. e. cummings. The cycle was composed with the technique of integral serialism and all formal schemes were derived from the respective poems.

More to explore
Quiet on the Bridge
Like the group's earlier releases, this disc ranges across electronic and electro-acoustic music, contemporary chamber writing, interactive computer pieces, open indeterminate works and improvisation.
Ephemeral Densities
ephemeral densities is re-sound's third CD, devoted to new Australian work by members Steve Adam, Melanie Chilianis, Paul Moulatlet and Thomas Reiner. It brings together contemporary chamber writing, computer music and popular electronic idioms.
Conversations
The recording of Conversations is an outcome of a research project at Monash University’s School of Music. Six composers worked with performers to shape this electro-acoustic piece, joining team-based composition, contemporary performance practice, and music technology.
In C
Melbourne ensemble re-sound gives Terry Riley's minimalist landmark In C its first electroacoustic reading, folding chamber forces into beats, sequences and electric bass and guitar.
re-sound
re-sound's first, self-titled album gathers chamber works by John Cage and five Australian composers – Brendan Colbert, Paul Moulatlet, Ken Murray, Thomas Reiner and Harvey Sollberger – in a programme of late twentieth-century sound.
Sidekick
Sidekick is the debut CD from guitar duo Ziggy and Miles. It pairs new works written for the brothers with their own arrangement of Debussy’s Clair de Lune and repertoire from Spain, Latin America and Australia that has shaped their musical identity.
