Albany Is: A Soundscape of Stories
What does Albany sound like?
In mid-2026, Albany Is will answer this question with an immersive soundscape that captures the essence of this extraordinary place, weaving together the melodies and rhythms of the region.
The voices of the Menang people, the Traditional Owners, are interwoven with sea shanties, birdcalls and the sounds of wind and waves, creating a rich, auditory tapestry. This soundscape celebrates Albany’s cultural heritage, natural beauty and community spirit.
Available for streaming, Albany Is will accompany walks along the city’s trails or transport listeners to the heart of the region from anywhere in the world.
Albany Is is initiated, produced and presented by FORM Building a State of Creativity in collaboration with Creative Producers Envelope Audio and Barking Wolf for the Albany 2026 Major Event Program. Lotterywest is a Major Supporter of the City of Albany’s Albany 2026 Program.
