    Linda is a musicologist, specialising in the study of Australian Aboriginal musics, immigrant musics and the digital humanities (particularly archiving and repatriation of ethnographic field recordings as a site of interaction between researchers and cultural heritage communities). Linda has studied community music practices through fieldwork in Australia, Italy and the Philippines. Themes of her research include analysis of musical action in place, the language of song, and the aesthetics of cross-cultural musical practice.

    A yarn with Peter about his work reclaiming and revitalising culture and sharing it with Aboriginal and Non Aboriginal people. He has long been a part of a big yearly corroboree in NSW which attracts hundreds of people black, white and brindle. Here's some footage of it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRGrYLohywk

    I had a chat with David about Kava to begin with, then found out a lot about PNG and his connection there. Also gained more of an insight how to go about collaborating with different cutures musically. The track playing in the background is 'Red (2000 Miles Away from the Fair) / Shes Upped and Gone' - https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/red-2000-miles-away-from-the-fair-shes-upped-and-gone-single/1445378689 https://www.davidbridie.com

    A yarn with John about his work reviving Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay language. He has been doing amazing work restoring and passing on language despite not being Aboriginal. An interesting insight in to Aboriginal languages and his practice. http://www.yuwaalaraay.org https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/giacon-g

    Tim Kanoa

    Great to kick back and have a yarn with Tim after work looking out on Nicholson St, Melbourne. Such a multi-talented and in demand man, we talk primarily about creating music and dance for 'The Fighting Gunditjmara' but also touching on his work within government roles for community and being vegetarian. https://www.facebook.com/The-Fighting-Gunditjmara-489787907767417
