This new collection of Noongar-language technicolour dance tracks by Maatakitj (Clint Bracknell) with ARIA award winning Australian music icon Paul Mac first premiered as part of Noongar Wonderland, the multisensory experience by Boomerang and Spear for Perth Festival 2022. These songs cast a neon spotlight on the ecological value of bull-sharks, stingrays, dolphins, bobtail lizards, dragonflies, and groundwater in the southwest of Western Australia. They ‘dare to envisage future songlines that tell of a yet unknown path, both corporeal and metaphysical’ (Julian Tompkin, The Australian).
Honouring the long line of torchbearers and trailblazers who have sustained Noongar song, this is a revolutionary release in an endangered language to mark the beginning of the United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032).
The music of Noongar Wonderland arrives after more than a decade of critical research and immersion in Noongar song and language, with Bracknell also co-translating ground-breaking works including Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury and Shakespeare’s Macbeth titled ‘Hecate’. Performers Trevor Ryan, Kyle J Morrison, Rubeun Yorkshire, Ebony McGuire, and Ian Wilkes sing with him on Noongar Wonderland and have been key collaborators on these productions.
Meaning ‘long legs like a spear’, Maatakitj is an affectionate nickname for Clint Bracknell, a Noongar musician from the south coast of Western Australia and currently Professor of Indigenous Languages at the University of Queensland. When border restrictions prevented Bracknell from returning home to WA to perform live at Noongar Wonderland, he worked with friend Paul Mac to hone recorded versions of the Noongar songs bristling with kinetic energy. The two had previously co-produced Ripple Effect Band’s debut EP Wárrwarra and lectured popular music together at Sydney Conservatorium.
