To me, this actually gives music (and music theory) even greater power to connect us by letting us practice empathy. Now, we get to hear from another culture's perspective, which is so powerful.

New on AustLit: a new BlackWords information trail drawing on the ATSIS Unit at UQ's Music & Language pilot program on the role of music in language reclamation.

This trail was developed by AustLit intern Clare Glassock, as were these lovely tiles!
A brown background, with the white text Music & Language. Below, some grey parallel lines split into chaotic harmonics. The bottom line reads 'a new BlackWords information trail. A background image looking across the Snowy Mountains from the Mount Kosciuszko lookout. A series of harmonic lines in brown are at the top and bottom of the page. Below the top set, a headline reads 'ATSIS' Music & Language Pilot Program'. The main text reads, 'The role of music in sustaining our languages and cultural practices is so important. It gives us a sense of connection. Also I think it’s that continuation of oral history that we've always done through dance, song, ceremony, lore.’ (Deline Briscoe) Funded by the Centre for Digital Societies and Cultures at the University of Queensland, this pilot project by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit (ATSIS) undertook 5 case studies with individual Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to document the ways they are using music to preserve and sustain languages in their professional and personal lives.' Below this, the Blackwords logo of a red figure emerging from a blue wave against a green hill appears, and the text 'AustLit and the BlackWords team have created an information trail inspired by this research.' On a brown background with pale grey harmonic lines, the cover images appear for four books: Music, Dance and the Archive; I Am Me; Words to Sing the World Alive; and Tjitiji Lullaby. The text, curved around the harmonic lines, reads, 'Taking cue from ATSIS' Music and Language Pilot Program, this trail is composed of fiction and non-fiction works on First Nations language and music. Explore now: https://www.austlit.edu.au/musicandlanguage On a grey background with white harmonics lines, the covers of CD releases by Aboriginal bands appear: Warumpi Band's Papunya Sessions 1982, Go Bush!, and Big Name, No Blankets; Yothu Yindi's Freedom and Tribal Voice; Kuckles' Bran Nue Day; and Us Mob and No Fixed Address's Wrong Side of the Road.
