4 – December 2014, Neil Coulter reviews Kirsty Gillespie’s Steep Slopes: Music and Change in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. This study shows how, through musical creativity, Duna people maintain a connection with their past, and their identity, whilst simultaneously embracing the challenges of the present. New forms of music have been introduced, while ancestral traditions have been altered or even abandoned. A people who have experienced extraordinary social change in recent history, their musical traditions have also radically changed during this time. This book is a musical ethnography of the Duna people of Papua New Guinea. Songs, like the stick of bamboo, assist the Duna in picking their way over this terrain by providing a forum for them to process change as it is experienced, in relation to what is already known. Similarly, the Duna live in a social and cultural environment of steep slopes, where the path on which they walk can be precarious and unpredictable. A stick of bamboo used as a prop goes a long way in assisting a struggling traveller. My favorite KK song, and a fantastic cover to boot.The Duna live in a physical environment of steep slopes that are sometimes difficult to traverse. That's one of my favs!

This comp was rushed into existence by a group of friends who make Nintendocore and chiptune music, and we hope you dig it! Please support Turtle at the link below.

The tracks featured here are covers of songs by Totakeke- also called KK Slider or DJ KK- the ridiculously cool doggy musician from the Animal Crossing series. The goal of this comp is not to singlehandedly cover all the expenses, just to help out in a fun way. Her owners paid out of pocket for her treatment, but they would really appreciate help with the bill. She has had several costly veterinary treatments, and may require more still. KK Saves the Day is a charity compilation that aims to help save a puppy named Turtle.
