Social Interiors: Rik Rue, Julian Knowles, Shane Fahey

Influenced by musique concrete, media cut-up, film sound, location sound, rock music production techniques and acoustic measurement tests, the group's eclectic sound materials and compositional practices have pioneered a soundscape genre, attracting wide critical acclaim.

One of the primary forces that inspired their subtle and transformative approach to composition is their combined love of their country’s natural environment. Dedicated to uncovering some of the unique character inherent in Australia's aural landscape, the joy of planning and executing of field trips into the natural world and the subsequent appraisal of the collected material is a process that gives their music a solid, original basis for the meticulous editing and treatment that then brings forth their sound compositions.

The three artists each have strong profiles in experimental music performance, live sound mixing, studio recording and production for a wide spectrum of musical idioms and applications. The group's live performances explore the creative possibilities of surround audio with real time performance through complex multichannel sound projection systems.
