Vinyl Stories: an exploration of sound waves through storytelling and song
Vinyl Stories explores the stories, interpretations and musical forces that shaped the lives of 3 people of the Territory.
Each performer will select songs on vinyl record that impacted them earlier in life and will share what this meant to them and their story. We will share a listening space with music from vinyl records.
Melanie Mununggurr is a Djapu mother, poet, storyteller and performer, and the Australian Poetry Slam Champion for her 2018 poem ‘I Run’.
Shalom Kaa is a performer, director, singer, and comedian with roots in a large Māori musical family.
John Rawnsley grew up and has lived between the Centre and Top End of the Territory for his life and will draw on these experiences with a vinyl set as DJ Spinaf-X.
The show is for people who appreciate music but also appreciate the deeper forces and interactions that voice, listening, hearing, living and being serves. It will be an appreciation of the connection between the sound waves that a particular song projects and the broader context and worlds we interact.
Immerse yourself in sensory experiences through story-telling and personal reflection; the sharing of an intimate space and to be present as we share in a collective appreciation and personal insight of a select curation of records.
Within each of us is a story and narrative that threads songs, time and space.
