Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

This is an incredibly eerie recording of the wind turbine located on Ningaloo Coast to provide power for Coral Bay. It is in an area out of town in the desert where you can find lizards and birds. I have used this recording as a rhythm for experimental music production.

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

"When I heard the field recording, I was hooked by its eeriness and musicality. A vivid image came to mind—a lonely wind turbine at night in the middle of the ocean. Though from a distant place I had never been, it resonated with me. "My approach was based on how, even when we try to create environmental solutions, we still leave an impact, like altering the natural soundscape. The recording reflects that duality—both beautiful and eerie—which I wanted to capture in the narrative and atmosphere. "I worked with limitation and deconstruction, using only this field recording to extract and amplify its musicality. Through rounds of listening, I identified keynotes and sonic elements, shaping instruments and sampling parts to recreate its perceived melodies."

Watch the video version of my interview with Laura Jones here on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel Congratulations to previous podcast guest Laura Jones on winning the Archibald Prize - Australia's most famous portrait prize  - with a sensitive and meaningful portrait of writer and environmentalist Tim Winton. On Friday I interviewed Laura shortly after the announcement and I'm bringing you that 5 minute conversation in this episode but I've also gone through the archives to my podcast conversation with Laura in 2018 to bring you something extra.  When I interviewed Laura a few years ago it was after she had finished a residency on the Great Barrier Reef where she was studying the terrible bleaching events which occurred there (and continue to occur) and her concern surrounding those events is not unconnected with her winning portrait in this year's Archibald Prize. Because it was after seeing Tim Winton's documentary on the ABC, Ningaloo Nyinggulu, about the fight to save the Ningaloo reef that Laura requested an Archibald portrait sitting. They have in common a sense of urgency that we must act now on climate change and are doing everything they can to bring attention to the devastating and inevitable consequences of inaction. One of the most interesting parts of my conversation with Laura was when she explained how coral bleaching occurs. It's complex and scientific but she explained it in a way that anyone could understand so I thought I would bring you that part of the interview today .   The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes exhibition continues until Sunday 8 September 2024.  The Archibald finalist works then go on tour across 5 venues across NSW and for the first time, to the Northern Territory.

On episode 167, we are stoked to finally bring you the legendary Brett Wolf. Many will already know about Brett as the guy who put Exmouth on the map as one of Australia's premier fly fishing destinations. It would be fair to say that Brett is the one, who as a guide, developed Exmouth as Australia's most consistent Bonefish fishery. In more recent years, Bretts achievements with permit are hard to ignore. Having both Blochii and Anak Permit, and the incredible biosphere that is the Exmouth Gulf, makes Brett one of the leading operation in OZ to offer many shots at single and small schooled fish, which is what anyone who aims to test themselves on Permit aspires too. On this show Brett offers up some great insights from a guides perspective on fly placement and reading the fishes mood. This show turned out great and is not one to be missed by any self respecting Permaphile.  Exmouth is definitely not only about Permit and Bonefish, and we don't ignore that either as we delve into Bretts experiences with the other great species that are on offer around the Exmouth Gulf and Ningaloo reef.  If you keen to see more of what Brett offers, checkout his website www.ningalooflyfishing.com.au  This show is brought to you by Nervous Water, Kettafly, Power Pole and Beast Brushes

Shownotes In Australia Daylight Saving ends on April 2nd Moon Phases: Full moon April 6th So for those out camping over Easter, you'll have very nice dark skies to see lots of clusters and nebulae as well as Venus and Mars without any interference from the moon. Last Quarter April 13th Perigee moon April 16th New Moon April 20th First Quarter (apogee) Moon appears in evening skies on April 28th. In the Evening Skies Mercury is a very difficult target even for those with very low western horizons. Venus is very easily observed in the West in the early evening just after sunset for an hour and a half. Over April Venus is moving closes and closer to the iconic open cluster the Pleiades and between the 10th and the 12th Venus and the Pleiades close together will make great binocular viewing. On the 23rd Venus is just 3 degrees from the crescent moon. Mars is still prominent, but is shrinking and fading and moving from the Taurus constellation into Gemini. At the start of April is close to the open cluster M35 and within binocular distance from the 1st to the 4th. On the 26th Mars is close to the waxing moon. The Emu dark constellation is always great to see around 10pm when the sky is fully dark. In the Morning Skies Jupiter is lost to view in evening skies and won't turn up in morning skies till May. Saturn is climbing higher and higher in the morning skies, easily seen an hour before sunrise On the 16th and 17th Saturn is near the thin crescent moon Orion the Hunter is sinking to the West and Scorpius is rising in the East April's Signature Event ~ A Total Solar Eclipse A Total Solar Eclipse in remote Western Australia is on the April 20, but all accomodation and campsites have been fully booked out years in advance, so if you're not booked in, you're best to see totality happen by watching online. Other parts of Australia will experience a partial solar eclipse. On April 20, the shadow of the moon will graze in a 40-kilometre-wide track over one of the most beautiful parts of the world – the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo region near Exmouth. The website at Ningalooeclipse-DOT-com is highly recommended. For Western Australia start to look about 10am Perth residents will see 71% of the sun covered at 11:20am Darwin gets 80% of the sun covered at 1:50pm For Central Australia and Northern Territory their partial eclipse begins around 12 noon. For Eastern States it's round about 1pm, with only a small percentage of the sun covered. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN. You WILL go blind. Specialist astronomical solar glasses from astronomical supply shops are OK for viewing, and NEVER used 'smoked glass' or ‘filters' or you will lose your vision. Ian describe how to make a pinhole projector to safely observe an image of the eclipse which is projected onto a flat surface Further safe observing tips can be found on Ian's Astroblog at astrobloggerDOTblogspotDOTcom Ian's Tangent The Colours of Space Our eyes can only see the visible spectrum ROYGBIV Bees can see in the ultra violet. The famous Hubble images are obtained by using filters and assigning colours using the Hubble Pallette. Most meteorites do not have striking colours, some comets and meteors can have spectacular colours. Gases in space can predominantly be Hydrogen, Helium, Methanol and Ethanol, and many complex molecules have been observed and identified. The Orion Nebula's colour is due to ethanol, and Ian goes on to explain how the spectacular colours of space are out of this world.

Ningaloo tourist and former Radio 6PR producer Liz Sheehan told Simon Beaumont on 6PR Mornings she was on a snorkelling tour and saw rubbish being pulled from the ocean at Ningaloo Reef. Northern Wildcatch Seafood Australia director and fisherman Grant Barker said there were fleets of boats from Indonesia off our northern coast and believes punishment for illegal Indonesian fishermen should be higher. "There would be a little bit [of rubbish] coming off the boats but most of it would be coming from the islands, I would've thought," he said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia's history is being significantly rewritten - or perhaps better said, heard. There is growing widespread understanding of the sophistication, presence and wisdom of the First Australians, and not just from the game-changing works of people like Bruce Pascoe and Bill Gammage. Now that modern Australia is looking in more of the right places, with the right mind, and with the First Australians themselves, our national - and really, human - story, is changing everywhere. This is a story of successful continuous human migration, cultivation and livelihood, right across Australia, over many a changing climate and shifting sea level. And leading archaeology professor from UWA, Peter Veth, has been working with First Nations for over 40 years to help share this story. Peter has just started a new dig with First Nations folk here on the North West Cape of Australia, part of the World Heritage Ningaloo Coast. It's expected to reveal the First Nations presence in this part of the world dates back an extraordinary 60,000 years. And when pieced together with other finds and collaborations happening across Australia and the world, it changes the way we see our country, it's people, and the human experience generally. And that, in turn, is broadening the menu of present and future possibilities enormously, at a time when this region, its people, and the world as a whole, need it most. This conversation was recorded on the new moon of 12 May 2021. Title slide image: Cape Range, on the World Heritage Ningaloo Coast (pic: UWA).

For most people spending time in Tonga swimming alongside a sixteen metre long, forty ton whales is a dream come true. For some it is a nightmare! For Scott Portelli that is another day in the office. Take time with us to learn about Scott on this episode of the podcast. Scott is a world renowned wildlife photographer with multiple awards and accolades. But he doesnt stop there! It has taken Scott the better part of his career to understand how to read Whale behaviour and learn how to best interact with the whales with the aim to create organic interactions and build familiarity. In this episode we discuss the dangers of interacting with humpbacks in light of the recent injuries sustained by tourists swimming with whales in Ningaloo. Join us on this episode as we cover: Scott's early career and interests Interacting with Whales and the dangers of being around such large megafauna How other photographers can get started with underwater photography Connect with Scott here: www.scottportelli.com https://www.facebook.com/scott.portelli www.instagram.com/scott.portelli --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saltyjournals/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saltyjournals/support

65. Keeping Coral: Regenerating reef communities & livelihoods, with the Resilient Reefs Initiative

The RegenNarration is back at the magnificent Ningaloo Reef for a couple of firsts - the first conversation in person for the year, and a world first collaboration aiming for the survival of the world's coral reefs, and the communities that depend on them. Dr Peter Barnes is the Marine Park Coordinator at Ningaloo Reef – one of five World Heritage listed coral reefs. Australia is blessed with the responsibility for two of these – the other being the Great Barrier Reef – which only serves to heighten the importance of the work Peter and co. are doing here. One of Peter's newest colleagues is Joel Johnsson. Joel is the Chief Resilience Officer recently appointed at Ningaloo for the global Resilient Reefs Initiative. Of course, coral reefs have been resilient systems for ages – inter-woven with traditional cultures. But the scale of damaging human impact is now jeopardising their existence. Even at 1.5 degrees global warming, the IPCC expects the coral reefs of the world would be largely wiped out. In other words, even the best-case target set by the Paris agreement would risk the annihilation of some of the world's greatest wonders. And one of its greatest generators of human wellbeing, prosperity and meaning. In that context, the Resilient Reefs Initiative is taking a holistic approach – with people at its heart. How can human communities and agencies recreate the way we live with coral reefs, to enhance the resilience of the whole? We'll need greenhouse gas emission targets met in accordance with the Paris agreement, for a start. And in all likelihood the carbon drawdown efforts we've been talking about on this podcast, with regenerative agriculture and other holistic management practices. Alongside these efforts, the timing and delivery of Resilient Reefs is seen as critical to the survival of the world's coral reefs, and the enormous variety of human and other life that thrives with them. And you'll hear some breaking news on how the traditional custodians remain central to it. To talk about it, Pete, Joel and I sat down at Jansz Beach, overlooking Ningaloo. With thanks to the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions for enabling this conversation. Title slide pic: Ningaloo Reef, by Joel Johnsson.

Denise Fitch is a nurse, mum, marine scientist & unlikely leader of the Protect Ningaloo campaign – possibly the next big flashpoint in Australia, as we continue to grapple with transitioning from the dominant extractive, fossil fuel driven model of development, to the next ‘regenerative' one. Denise is Chair of the Cape Conservation Group – the local group at the heart of the Protect Ningaloo campaign. She sat under a tree by Exmouth Gulf with host Anthony James to talk about the meaning of place, the latest with the Protect Ningaloo campaign, the great opportunity in it, and what it means to the movement for change more broadly. ​ Get more: Get involved in the campaign Protect Ningaloo - www.protectningaloo.org.au And listen to episode 017 with Tim Winton - https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/017-putting-it-all-on-the-line Music: Gone Clear, by William Tyler off his album Modern Country.

This special podcast features one of Australia's great writers, National Living Treasure, and reluctant activist, Tim Winton, direct from the World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Tim has again donated his prize money from a recent literature award to help launch a campaign to protect this area, called Protect Ningaloo. He has also been touring the country extensively with the publication of his brilliant new novel, The Shepherd's Hut. Along the way, he's been talking a lot about manhood and masculinity, and the problem with our narrow – even toxic - view of it. This wide-ranging conversation with host Anthony James explores why that matters, along with fiction and the arts generally, and what it's all got to do with Ningaloo and the state of the world more broadly. ​ Get more: Get involved in the campaign Protect Ningaloo - https://www.protectningaloo.org.au The Shepherd's Hut - https://www.penguin.com.au/books/the-shepherds-hut-9780143786115 Breath, Simon Baker's film adaptation of another of Tim's award-winning novels (which premiered in Sydney the night before this conversation)- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/dec/03/exclusive-first-look-at-the-trailer-for-simon-bakers-film-adaptation-of-tim-wintons-breath Music: The sounds of Ningaloo.

Paul Wags is a scuba instructor, videographer and filmmaker. (He's also a video forum moderator at Wetpixel.com!) Kelly is a divemaster, videographer, and our host for this wonderful visual introduction to their "Video Lives," both underwater and above. Wags and Kelly are based in Exmouth and the Ningaloo region of Western Australia. The Ningaloo region is a remote and varied wilderness, where the rugged West Australian desert meets a pristine tropical reef. The region is evolving as an ecotourism mecca. However, it also faces increasing pressure from opposing uses of resources including mining and commercial fishing industries. The town attracts a varied population, from those dedicated to conservation to those whose sole motivation is economic development. This divides the community to a degree. However, as is often the case in small towns, neccessity overcomes emotion and in the times when mother nature throws Exmouth a curve ball, such as category 5 cyclone Vance in 1999, the differences are put aside and the town rises to the challenge.
