He Reo Tawhito
Season 1, Episode 1: A conversation with Dr Te Ahukaramū Charles Royal
Mōteatea is a centuries-old tradition of chanted song-poetry; a great literary and musical art form that expresses the powerful portrayal of storytelling and is reflective of the emotional depths of a Māori world view. Its vast richness is yet to be fully understood.
In these eleven episodes, over three series, hosted by Crystal Edwards, we hold conversations with some of the world’s leading experts on mōteatea and ask them: What exactly is mōteatea? How has it changed since colonisation? What issues does it face today?

Episode 1: Sonic Art: The Democratisation of Sound
What is ‘sonic art’ or ‘sound art’?
Think of the weird and wonderful sounds you sometimes hear in an art gallery, or on the soundtrack of a film or game, or in concerts or as soundscapes for dance or theatre: but wherever you find it sonic art is as wide as your imagination. Once associated with university music courses and contemporary music performances today’s availability of cheap technology has given the art form wings.
