Essendon Airport is an Australian experimental music duo formed in Melbourne in 1978 by David Chesworth and Robert Goodge. Emerging from the post-punk and minimal wave scenes, they became known for their innovative blend of synthesizers, drum machines, and angular guitar work. Their sound explored the spaces between pop, minimalism, and avant-garde experimentation, influencing Melbourne’s underground music culture. Releases such as *Palimpsest* and *Sonic Investigations (Of the Trivial)* established Essendon Airport as forward-thinking pioneers of Australia’s art-pop and electronic landscapes.
