Artist & Performer
salllvage (Rowan Savage) is a proud Kombumerri man, living on Wangal Land. He is an experimental producer and sound artist working at the intersection of connection with Country and electronic sound art. His work mutates on-Country field recordings into electronica, and inhabits and bridges the tensions between abstraction and emotion, the wild bush and the dancefloor, the personal and the social, authenticity and reconstruction.
