Bunjil Place EP
cat# DU-TAOD8

These recording were made initially made at Bunjil Place art centre in July 2021, in Narra Warren, Victoria, Australia.
The impressive architecture and the name, Bunjil Place, were inspired by stories of Bunjil (also referred to as ‘Bundjil’) by our First Nation’s people.

These are extremely special, parable-like stories about Bunjil, the ‘creator’ - a wedge-tailed eagle that floated above the earth and brought the world and life into existence. Though each tribal group has their own special relationship with and stories of Bunjil, there are themes that connect the land to the Bunjil story across our traditional owners the Boon Wurrung, Bunurong and Wurundjeri peoples, such as referencing Bunjil as the creator spirit that carved man from clay.
There are also elements that are specific to each First Nation’s group that embed the story firmly into the vernacular of each tribe such as the species of eagle and the local topography Bunjil may
inhabit.


Track names and their meaning:
1. Tanderrum - A Tanderrum is an Aboriginal ceremony enacted by the nations of the Kulin people.
2. Land of Wurundjeri - A local tribe, part of the Kulin Nation.
3. Manna Gum - type of Eucalyptus tree, a source of food, medicine, technology and magic.
4. Ngarnga - Meaning to hear or listen.
5. Djeembana - A gathering place for many special occasions.
6. Barring-Buluk - Meaning many footprints

Jani Ho acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations where the production of this
piece took place. We pay respect to elders—past, present and emerging—and acknowledge that
this always was and always will be Aboriginal land and that sovereignty for this land was never
ceded.
