His music has featured at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Royal Academy of Music, FutureEverything, Bang On A Can Marathon and MATA Festival.

Work by current Sound Art student Julian Day '20 is in this year’s Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. This year, the Biennial celebrates its thirtieth anniversary as the nation’s longest-running curated survey of contemporary Australian art. The show is curated by Leigh Robb, who also holds the position as the Curator of Contemporary Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
Conversations with Artists in Art Getting Art is a bi-weekly series and a play on Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. We interview artists about their art and 'getting art'.
The Student Spotlight series aims to highlight the work of current MFA students, asking them to share thoughts on their practice by answering curated and peer-submitted questions.
