Conference 2010 Keynote Presentation
Melbourne born composer and sonologist Paul
Doornbusch will present the 2010 keynote presentation on CSIRAC which was the fourth
all electronic digital computer in the world, and the first in Australia.
Through a confluence of personnel and events, it was also the first computer
to play music. This talk discusses the music made by CSIRAC, its reconstruction
and significance.

The 2009 ASRA Conference in Canberra
Our second conference in 2009, "Endangered Sounds", set out to bring into focus powerful ideas about the future of our sounds- and their past. Sounds can be lost, in an age where environmental, social and technological change is happening so fast. What can we do about it? The 2009 conference of the Australasian Sound Recordings Association (ASRA) was held at the National Library of Australia in Canberra from Thursday 20th to Friday 21st August 2009.
