Welcome to the Music Tas Podcast. In this episode, we hear from the Sisters Akousmatica. Their expanded radio projects explore radical transmission possibilities through voice, radio receivers and transmitters, amplified mineral samples, re-kindled transistor parts, pulsar, wind, waves, and words. Recently they drove their Broom Broom vehicle of transmission at Junction Festival in various public spaces, where audiences could draw on the car and take control of hyperlocal airwaves. They also have a Borderadio artwork presented at the group exhibition Shaping the Aether at the espace multimedia Gantner in France curated by Pali Meursault.
The nipaluna/Hobart based radio queens share some recordings concerned with collective electromagnetic practices and ownership of the airwaves located in high magnetic latitude in the southern hemisphere. They interview Dr Warren Hankey, a PhD on globular clusters at the Grote Reber Museum and a member of The Sound Preservation Association of Tasmania team, who shares their knowledge of radio waves lutruwita-Tasmania. In the conversation, they talk about an impromptu sewage sound, and lament a horde of musical wind creatures.
In this episode, all sounds were researched, performed, and recorded on the unceded land of the palawa people between 2017 and 2021.

The Festival of Voices director, Peter Choraziak, and Musical Scott Targett respond to the question: why did you start the Tasmanian Songbook? The Tasmanian Song Book is a program of music presented through Festival of Voices that speak directly to the heart and identity of the island and its people. The pair discuss the different curatorial thematics they use to develop a program of music that looks past, present and future, including protest songs, Tasmanian First Nation artists, songs about Tasmania, and bands that nearly made it. The pair also discuss the how narrative and context is used to introduce each of the songs during the live performance. The conversation also talks about the wealth of talented musicians in Tasmania.
The podcast includes songs recording live during the 2021 Tasmanian Songbook. The following list of songs and artists is listed in order of play.
