Tim Ritchie, presenter About Sound Quality

Why does everything have to fit into a genre?

It doesn't. For 30 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the wonderful.

Sound Quality is a program about music that grabs the mould and gives it a good shake. So hold still - because the rest of the music world is moving.

Since 1995, Tim and the aural vehicle known as Sound Quality have been trying to find music that does not need to fit into a genre to be understood. Nor does the music need the support of "peers" to sound good. As a result, many new sounds and genres have found their way on to Radio National.

At one stage, the program was inundated with protests from those who claimed that jazz and electronic music where from different worlds and could not coexist within one piece of music - that's gone out the window a few years ago. The areas that have been getting bent over the past few years - and therefore making it on to Sound Quality - include folk, ambient, electro, skip hop, nu jazz, electronica, glitch, bleep hop and all the other cross over styles that are constantly evolving.

By the way, if you make or market music that needs an airing, send it to Tim Ritchie, c/- Sound Quality, ABC Radio National, GPO Box 9994, Sydney. NSW 2001.
