Mandala, an ambisonic soundscape composition by Jesse Budel, metaphorically draws on the Tibetan Buddhist conception of the mandala as a three-dimensional projection of a particular deity's palatial residence. Celebrating the soundscapes of South Australian national parks, Mandala is concerned with cultivating respect and reverence for their resident other-than-human inhabitants. Mandala has been developed as part of Jesse’s 2023 artist residency at Flinders University's Assemblage Creative Centre for the Arts.

With thanks to University of Adelaide for providing the sound equipment.
