Alice Springs, Central Australia Sound Atlas

The recording stage for this sound atlas began in Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory following an invitation for Curgenven and Howden to realise a project for a series of events running 3-18 May, 2007, "Shifting Ground/Art Land Culture", an arts incubator in the desert town designed to produce engagement with the arid landscapes of Central Australia. Alice Springs has a population of 28,000 and is a remote yet urban town flanked by mountain ranges, situated 1500kilometres from the nearest coast.
