Title:
Bob Brozman - Songs Of The Volcano - Trailer

Description:
I filmed Songs Of The Volcano during two trips in 2003 and 2004. Accompanied by Denis Crowdy from the Department of Contemporary Music Studies at Sydney's Macquarie University, and screenwriter Rory McCourt, we undertook a field trip to Rabaul in Papua New Guinea's East New Britain Province, to work with five local stringbands on a collaborative album featuring different stringband styles from that region. Under extreme conditions of humidity, torrential rain and falling ash from the erupting volcano Tavurvur, we recorded local Tolai musicians in a collaboration with world renowned master guitarist and ethnomusicologist Bob Brozman, as part of his work at Macquarie as an Adjunct Professor.
