Two public events were shared here, the second Freshwater Listening celebrating twenty years of acoustic ecology in Australia. This Land for Wildlife is a wildlife sanctuary where recording sound is a barometric measure of presence and absence of different species. She created the first online sound art gallery, searchable data-base and web site merging sound art practice with academic research on her third ARC grant at the Australia Centre, the University of Melbourne, The Australian Sound Design Project.

She has taught improvisation, sound art and frequently curated cross-cultural collaborative projects in ancient sites in the Mediterranean. An electro-acoustic work such as Mungo , made of sounds collected in the Lake Mungo region of New South Wales, presents soundscape as illustration; that is, the sounds are presented as important in themselves, rather than as material for formalistic musical development.

In other electro-acoustic works, such as Thrausmata: Ancient Greek Fragments, , the concern for narrative, and presenting endangered elements of the soundscape in this case, disappearing languages emerge as paramount. Other electro-acoustic works present sounds from specific environmental sites, such as Genesis , for microtonally-tuned zither and pre-recorded speed-changed zither, both recorded in the same large resonant environment, and Stack , made entirely from sounds collected from a large cylindrical tunnel exhaust stack in Melbourne.

The sculpture Aeolian Harps was a large wind powered string instrument, which was also recorded and those sounds used in a number of other works. Her recent Tragoudia II uses the tarhu, a string spike fiddle 4 strings played, 8 sympathetic invented by Australian luthier Peter Biffin, as well as pre-recorded sounds recorded in Crete. Tin Rabbit —10 for wind-up rabbits, pre-recorded soundscape, music boxes, and tin suitcase shows a more whimsical side of her installation work.

Free Diving for recorder orchestra and pre-recorded soundscape shows an integration of her interests in environmental sound with that of composing for traditional instruments. She has created a unique and globally recognised body of work over four decades, with some 40 major installations, sound sculptures and numerous intercultural and inter-disciplinary collaborations.

Through her art, she has approached a wide array of acoustic spaces, from water tanks and industrial stacks to vast landscapes and ancient, sacred sites, recording their layers of stories and their many voices, past and present. Chamber Made acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we are based and where we make work, the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation.
