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.

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.
In this episode Stephanie Eslake, arts journalist, and founding editor of national music magazine Cut Common talks with Hobart based singer songwriter and vocal tutor Hannah May. Hannah talks about her own career as a musician and teacher, the all important work/life balance and how having endometriosis, a chronic illness that affects 1 in 9 women changed her life and career. Hannah also speaks about how she uses music to address mental health in her own life and in the lives of her students.
In this first episode of the Music Tas Podcast, we hear from the Tasmanian band The Brothers of Country, a band of brothers from across Tasmania, Australia, and the World.
The Brothers of Country draw from aboriginal practices and connection to country as the conduit to bring diverse cultural groups into a shared, safe and creative space.
Music is central to Indigenous storytelling and lore. Music has carried knowledge and truth-telling of pain and sorrow, celebration and tradition from generation to generation.
The brothers say this is how it should be.
These truths have been broken for Aboriginal men and women in Tasmania and across Australia recovering from colonisation.
But these people, these artists are not alone. Refugee and migrant people face similar dispossession from place and loss of culture. The result is often a story of great sorrow, trauma, and ultimately a deep feeling of being unwell, of illness.
The Brothers of Country use their music as a space to tell stories and find spaces for healing and truth-telling.
The earthy sounds of the Tasmanian bush Elder Songman Dougie Mansell, Singer, and drummer MwaseMakalani, a Yao and Chichewa man from Malawi, Yorta Yorta and Yuwaalaraay ( pronounced yoOolaray) man Warren Mason, Tasmanian born Yorta Yorta man First Nations Producer and musician Josh Langford, Tasmanian Aboriginal pakana (pronounce Puk-a-Na) traditional dancer Harley Mansell, Walker and keeper of Stories Sean Mansell, and Adelaide born cultural magpie Matthew Fargher.
We will now hear a conversation, facilitated by Matthew Farger between these brothers, these dignified men of story. This was recorded on 26th June 2021 when the brothers gathered at the Moonah Art Centre
The brothers would like to thank the Glenorchy City Council and Moonah Arts Centre for supporting this project throughout. The Music Tasmania Podcast is supported by The Australia Council for the Arts, and Arts Tasmania.
