The Sounds of Wiluna compilation CD is the product of a professional recording and song production tuition project, conducted in Wiluna by the West Australian Music Industry Association (WAM) over 10 days in June 2011. 
Wiluna is a remote town in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It is situated on the edge of the Western Desert at the gateway to the Canning Stock Route and Gunbarrel Highway, approximately 1,000kms North East of Perth. Within Wiluna exists a talented music community. Wiluna’s extreme isolation is a barrier for it’s local musicians to engage in many opportunities, afforded musicians and songwriters in capital cities and larger regional centres.
The compilation CD features six tracks, traversing the genres of Country Rock, Hip Hop, Gospel and the unmistakeable desert Reggae Rock sound by musicians based around the centre of Wiluna. In many of the songs traditional Martu indigenous language is used in lyrical content. Combined with English and a Gospel track in a Fijian dialect, the Sounds of Wiluna CD, truly has a multicultural feel.
