about
This an album about loss. Most of it was written and recorded alone, in an off-grid house in the Australian bush. Most songs concern Norfolk and stories from the past, with the final two bringing us to the present, in Australia.
This album is full of stories, both true and imagined. Even the cover image and typefaces have stories.
It sometimes includes Norfolk history and dialect words, but makes no claim to "folk authenticity" - I deliberately chose a Chinese gourd flute as a key instrument as one way to make that clear. Instead, it's inspired by that tradition, building a bridge to the present.
I began writing after the death of my Auntie, the last of the older generation of my tiny family, and after I left the land of my birth for a second time. I'm not one for looking back but, pandemically unemployed, I allowed myself to dwell in the past mentally. Unexpectedly, by allowing myself to spend time with the land and the people I came from, that experience allowed me to think about and gain a deeper awareness of the First Nations concept of 'country'. I don't pretend to know what it's like, but I gained a new level of comprehension.
The heart of this album was recorded where Wonnarua country meets Geawegal country. The remainder was recorded in Bulanaming (Marrickville) on Gadigal country of the Eora nation. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands, which were never ceded. I offer my respect to elders past and present, with a special mention for all the Aunties.
