We represent the interests of composers and sound designers working in Australian theatre.

Over the past decade and a half, technology has made music creation faster and easier. Counter-intuitively, this has led to composers working harder than ever, as the only obstacle to having more music in a show is how many hours the composer puts in. No meal breaks, fast turn-arounds, high pressure, little sleep, and large amounts of content are now expectations of our job. Many of us feel we cannot continue working under these conditions.

This guild has formed in order to open a dialogue with Australain Theatre Companies about how to improve our working conditions.
