Les Gilbert, 1946 – 2021
Les in Spain by Gillian Chaplin
Les Gilbert – musician, composer, sound recordist and multimedia company director – has died on 17 August, aged 75.
Les was not formally a member of the AWSRG, focusing on his own extremely time-consuming work, however he has been an important figure in Australian nature recording. He attended the Rotamah Island gathering in the early pre-AWSRG days, and was a delegate at the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology conference in Melbourne in 2003, so many long-term AWSRG members will remember him. His 1990 Kakadu Billabong CD was a particular inspiration to myself.
This tribute to Les is offered by John Campbell, who did audio production and post-production work for him from 1992 to 2018. more »
