«Pot Mosbi »

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Recordings in this piece are of 5 Mile in Port Moresby, Ela Beach Craft Market, the Koki Fish Market and Town – a district of Port Moresby. The time travels from morning, through the day to late at night.

Papua New Guinea is a country of over 800 language groups – the most linguistically diverse in the world. The capital, Port Moresby sits at the edge of the Gulf of Papua. It attracts many people from all over the country for education and work opportunities. As a result Port Moresby is a rich, vibrant and noisy town of around 300,000 people.
Pot Mosbi means Port Moresby in Tok Pisin. Tok Pisin is the official language of Papua New Guinea, developed from English Creole

My colleague for this project, Stephen Mase, made many of the raw recordings you’ll hear in this piece. Stephen is a journalist and broadcaster with PNG’s National Broadcaster - the NBC. He is from the village of Hanuabada, adjacent to Port Moresby. Stephen’s assistance was invaluable in these recordings. He was able to access and interact on sites and with people that as an Anglo-Australian woman I was unable to do. For most of his recordings, he used DPA4060s attached to his shirt lapels and a recorder placed in his pocket. Doing field recording this way raised interesting questions for me about the nature of the field recording process. And in particular, the way in which cultural, social and political factors impact upon our listening and recording

There has been a long tradition of anthropologists and field recordists gathering material in foreign locations such as Papua New Guinea and manipulating or even erasing any socio-political context. This consideration of cross-cultural factors has become a growing concern of mine in my field recording practice. As a result, my inclusion of Stephen’s voice in this composition was deliberate. I felt it is important to hear a voice that may have been previously unheard or decontextualized. In addition, I included snippets of Stephen talking about the recording process – to acknowledge his ownership of the recording and as a comment on the subjective nature of the recording process. This was particularly important to me in light of PNG’s history as a colony of Australia.

In 2000, I graduated from RMIT with an honours degree in Fine Arts (Sound)  I'd spent the previous ten years  producing and presenting on community radio
Since then I've continued my dual love affairs with radio and art with an affection for the pragmatism of broadcast mixed with the whimsy of sonic ephemera
I worked for a period of time for the ABC as a promos and technical producer, before branching into content. My radio/podcast style focuses on the expansion of reality whilst allowing space and time for the listener.
My art practice focuses on field recording. I have a continuing interest in how our sonic environments shape us as individuals and as a community. My work has been presented in Australia, Europe and the U.S.A. I've performed at numerous festivals including Articulating the Medium (San Francisco), ParisSonic (France) and Liquid Architecture National Festival of Sound Art (Australia). My installation work has been featured at Instants Chavirés Paris, the Sydney Opera House, San Francisco MOMA, National Gallery Of Victoria, Melbourne and the AC Institute, New York.
