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.

This presentation takes place as part of Flinders Unversity’s 2023 Festival of Creative Arts. More information on the Festival can be found here.
