Beck guest programs rage (1994)

Beck guest programs rage (1994)

Oi losers, we've got an absolute winner of a Vault Guest Programmer for you this week.
Join us this Friday night as we replay this bonafide classic rage ep programmed by American musician, singer and songwriter Beck David Hansen, known mononymously as Beck. Filmed back in 1994 whilst Beck was on tour in Australia (playing some iconic venues like The Roxy, Prince Bandroom and Old Lion Hotel in Adelaide to name a few), this is a show that is truly reflective of the many sounds that made the 90's so damn good. So if, like Beck, your time is a piece of wax falling on a termite that's choking on the splinters, you won't wanna miss Guest Programmer's show.
It all kicks off at 11:47pm this Friday on ABC Entertains (or stream live on ABC iview)!

New composition tells Yolŋu songline in collaboration with Darwin Symphony Orchestra

A strange soundscape issues from an empty auditorium where a cultural collaboration is playing a unique composition. Traditional clap sticks set a steady, resonant rhythm, as the classical ensemble begins slowly. Above the music, the voice of Yolŋu songman Banula Marika rises, a deep tone that lingers alongside the orchestra's notes. "This is the beginning, the Manikay," Marika said of the song. He said Manikay are traditional Yolŋu ceremonial songs, carrying ancestral stories and a connection to country. Marika explained that the song being played is a key creation story, tracing the journey of an ancestral being, Wuyal, the "sugarbag man". Over the past three years Marika has worked with the Darwin Symphony Orchestra to create this work. The project involved taking Darwin Symphony Orchestra resident composer Netanela Mizrahi across the beaches, mangroves and bushland that Wuyal travelled in his search for wild honey. "There are parts of this story, the songlines, that aren't mine to fully understand," Mizrahi said. The composer said the songlines are complete as they are, but that this collaboration with Marika offered an opportunity to create something new. "We've got the songlines, and we've got the wonderful beast of an orchestra, and now we can also create a third thing, which is when they meet, and what do we create when they do," Mizrahi said. During the performance, Marika leads a bungul (a Yolŋu ceremony) onto the stage, re-enacting Wuyal's journey. Weaving gracefully among the musicians, the dancers carry branches from country as they pace out a tribute to their land and its stories. It's a collaboration that composers and Yolŋu elders are hoping to continue. "I think there is space to explore that further — what does it mean to find these meeting points not just musically or sonically, but also spatially, and in the ways that we relate to one another?," Ms Mizrahi said. Darwin Symphony Orchestra chief conductor Jon Tooby said the connection the collaboration offered audiences was profound. "It's the common language we all have, storytelling," Tooby said. For Yolŋu elders, the collaboration is a way to share their pride in their culture with the world. "It's important … and it's good for [Banula Marika] and it's good for me, as a role model for the next generation," Ŋalkanbuy Munungurr, the work's yidaki (didgeridoo) player, said. The new composition will premiere at the Darwin Festival this weekend.
