Melbourne/Naarm-based electronic producer and vocalist Kate Durman is known for her project Purient. Her 2024 track 'Three Mirrors' blends an aggressively beguiling softness with a thumping bassline and glitchy digital textures. Airy, almost weightless sounds are offset by whispered, inaudible vocals that suggest both intimacy and surveillance – unsettling yet beautiful.
Durman also crafted the haunting soundscape for Inferno, an audiovisual installation by Paris-based Australian artist Mikaela Stafford. The NFSA commissioned Inferno, which opened to the public in August 2025.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
