Bundanon

Julian Day is an Australian artist, composer, writer and broadcaster. His artwork centres on sound and fuses his backgrounds in both composition and visual art, encompassing installation, performance and recording. Julian’s work seeks to understand proximity and territory: the distance between people or objects, their attempts to synchronise and the dissonance of interpersonal boundaries. He is particularly interested in how sound’s itinerant and expanding nature can reveal and interrogate the politics of the everyday. He typically uses homogeneous sound to capture and frame human and atmospheric turbulence within such environments as galleries, parklands and homes.

During his residency at Bundanon in 2009, Day worked on a number of projects including interdisciplinary compositions and sound installations. The projects explored Day’s artistic interests in community engagement, open participation, critiquing traditional scores/instrumental techniques while bridging visual art and music.
