THE ANU has today (May 10) officially launched a recording studio dedicated to indigenous musicians, with music-minded vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt looking on.
The new “Yil Lull” recording studio at the ANU School of Music will offer free recording and music assistance to indigenous musicians from across Australia.
The studio will be led by Torres Strait Islander musician, Will Kepa, who describes it as “a place for us, our mob, to come and meet; to create and to share; to expand on our stories; to keep our culture alive and our music alive; and to just keep that fire burning.”
