ALTMUSIC EVENTS
Altmusic is a series of events, organised by an independent committee under the auspices of the Audio Foundation. We hope that 2009 will see this becoming a national tour of artists in all the regions.
The Festival now has major partnerships including the NZ International Film Festival, AUT and St Pauls St Gallery, The Edge, Goethe Institute, Creative New Zealand, Physics Room, Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Fulbright New Zealand.
Altmusic is a vital injection of contemporary sound art dialogue for New Zealand. It provides local practitioners and audiences for cutting-edge audio culture with direct access to, interaction with and experience of the latest currents in sound making.

MP3 LIBRARY
This is a comprehensive digitised Library of work from the Audio Foundation NZ CD collection. Many of the recordings in this are obscure and now out of print. The Library ensures the preservation of the work in a format that can be transferred safely and maintained for posterity.
This will not be online, due to copyright issues, but available through AF and The Film Archive. Funded by the Lotteries Heritage and Environment the Library project is currently being directed by Stefan Neville.
ORAL HISTORY
Funded by Lotteries Heritage and Environment the Oral History component is a crucial part of AF. The specific outcome is to provide records of the unique insights, methodologies and historical accounting of NZ artists. These interviews will serve to not only provide a historical understanding of some of the most pioneering artists in NZ, but also will hopefully provide inspiration to emerging practitioners and increase an understanding of the practise through this.
The original audio will be lodged with the Sound Archives and transcripts of the audio with permission will be available online in the Knowledge section.
