Sampling the Collection

Mix by Andras (Andrew Wilson)

‘Diving into the collection of over 500,000 objects, I’ve pulled together samples, live performances, radio plays, soundtracks and degraded tape renditions of popular music.’

Andras

Andras is a resident host on NTS Radio, a global online radio platform. For his broadcast on 1 February 2023, he created a mix that dived into the Powerhouse collection, arranging samples from the Sounding the Collection project, live performances, radio plays, soundtracks, and degraded tape renditions of popular music.

16 black, translucent and white cassette tapes laid out in a grid. — Tape recordings of historic flutes and interviews with Linda Vogt and other Australian flautists.
Object No. 2004/115/1-7
