WAM, The West Australian Music Industry Association, is proud to announce the launch of Sounds of Wiluna. The Sounds of Wiluna compilation CD is the product of a professional recording and song production tuition project, conducted in Wiluna by WAM and Studio Couch over 10 days in June 2011.

Wiluna is a remote town in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It is situated on the edge of the Western Desert at the gateway to the Canning Stock Route and Gunbarrel Highway, approximately 1,000kms North East of Perth. Within Wiluna exists a talented music community. Wiluna’s extreme isolation is a barrier for it’s local musicians to engage in many opportunities, afforded musicians and songwriters in capital cities and larger regional centers.

In many of the songs traditional Martu Indigenous language is used in lyrical content. Combined with English and Fijian dialect, the Sounds of Wiluna CD has a truly multicultural feel. The Sounds of Wiluna CD will be launched over two huge events in September 2011. On Wednesday 7 September, 5-9:00pm, Wiluna comes alive to celebrate this community project with a massive street party at the Ngangganawili Aboriginal Health Service Centre. Wednesday 14 September, from 12-1:00pm, The Sounds of Wiluna CD officially launches with a performance at the Queens Park Theatre Amphitheatre, Geraldton. This event features as part of Open Your Eyes, the State Regional Arts Conference, with every registered delegate receiving a copy of this CD.

The project has been delivered as part of WAM’s Regional program, funded by Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund through Country Arts WA. Sounds of Wiluna is a partnership between WAM and the Wiluna Regional Partnership Agreement (WRPA).

WAM would like to thank and acknowledge RPA project partners, Ngangganawili Aboriginal Health Service, BHP Billiton - Nickel West, Newmont Asia Pacific - Jundee Operations, Mega Uranium, Ivernia-Magellan Metals, Sodexo, The Shire of Wiluna and Studio Couch.
