First emerging in North America and Europe in the late 1920s,
contemporary percussion practices have transitioned from the
fringes of contemporary music to the forefront over the past 90
years. In the 1960s contemporary percussion practices reached
Australian shores and a new generation of artists added their
voices to this narrative. The role of Australian activity is not
yet embedded in the wider narrative of international contemporary
percussion, nor is the significance of developments in contemporary
percussion practices fully realised in the context of Australian
music history. In this monograph, political, social and cultural
influences on this art form will be examined for the first time in
a historical survey of contemporary percussion music in Australia
over a 50-year period, from 1960 to 2010. The rise of the
percussion ensemble in the twentieth century to a standard chamber
music ensemble is now recognised as one of the major advances in
western art music practice internationally. A focus will be placed
on ensemble activity via definitive documentation and analysis of
ensembles that are amongst the most pioneering and longest
established of Australian contemporary music organisations,
including the Australian Percussion Ensemble, Synergy Percussion,
Adelaide Percussions, Nova Ensemble, Tetrafide Percussion, Taikoz,
Clocked Out and Speak Percussion amongst others. Closing with a
discussion of influences and identity, this historical narrative
will expand our understanding of the impact of Australian
contributions to the international contemporary music scene while
simultaneously examining how developments in contemporary
percussion have contributed to Australia's cultural identity.
