The Kiewa River Sound Map :: Is longstanding alumni Philip Samartzis's latest project, developed over the past three years through the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture in partnership with Switzerland’s Gwaertler Stiftung.

The project traces the evolving acoustic life of the Kiewa River from the Bogong High Plains to the Murray River. Through field recordings, video, and an aleatoric digital interface, the work explores how ecology, weather, infrastructure, and human intervention shape the river’s sonic identity.

"I am always hopeful that my next project will eventually manifest itself. My most recent exhibition SLOW showed a series of digital photographs utilising Hi-Viz safety clothing and signage that imagined cautionary paraphernalia as prompts to remind us to slow down both in our physical and psychological states. The idea for these recent art works seemed to come from somewhere in the universe, however I think maybe the current state of the world may have influenced my conceptual thinking."
Ed James talking about the next project, Ed is ANAT's May Q&A guest.

"We didn’t start with a plan.

We started with what was there.

Milk crates. Timber. Stories. People moving through.

Someone spoke about the dairy co-ops.
Someone else about the mills.
Barry filled in what we didn’t know.

So we stayed with that.

We stacked milk crates.
At first it was nothing. Just a shape building slowly.
Open enough to walk through.
Loose enough to stop and look."
