The opening Highett Pointillism was selected for Australia's submission to the 2005 ISCM World Music Days. Across the disc, live instruments meet fixed media and spare textures that reward patient hearing.
In the artist’s words
As the title suggests, the music on this CD is not for easy listening ... if there were such a thing as a perfect listening strategy for my compositions, then it would have to be one that avoids traditional expectations of what constitutes music and instead encourages the sort of mindful and unconditioned listening that allows for the enjoyment of sounds and sound structures in their own right.

More to explore
Fantasie Australis
Compositions by living Australian composers, most based in Melbourne, performed by the Monash University Flute Ensemble under Peter Sheridan. Australia’s flute-ensemble repertoire is still small beside other national traditions, yet the country has a rich store of fine woodwind writing.
The Flowers
All works on this recording are Australian compositions exploring the aesthetics of contemporary art music. The disc offers a fresh perspective on Australian music-making through starkly varied new pieces.
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.
KAPPA
Italian chamber group Trio Altrove 1.3 joins six Australian composers of contemporary classical music – Steve Adam, Melanie Chilianis, Brendan Colbert, Philip Czaplowski, Paul Moulatlet and Thomas Reiner – in a programme of works written or arranged for the ensemble.
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.
