The collection is one outcome of an ARC Discovery project to produce authoritative, thorough and archivally sound musicological and linguistic documentation of the public dance songs of the Murriny Patha (Murrinhpatha) people at Wadeye, NT, Australia. The project team worked with traditional owners to record, translate and document song cycles from three song genres (djanba, wurltjirri and malgarrin). Contextual information about the song, the singers and associated places and concepts was also recorded. The data collection includes data in a variety of media. Audio files were digitised in standard .mp3 and .wav formats. Video files were recorded in .mov, .mp4 and .mpeg2 formats. Documentary materials were collected and stored in multiple formats, including .xml, plain text, .rtf, word and .pdf. Supplementary materials include images in .tiff and .jpeg format.  Items in the data collection date from as early as 1950, and a significant portion of items were recorded through the 1980s and 1990s on audiocassette and DAT. These archival items were digitised between 2004 and 2008. Collaborators include Linda Barwick, Allan Marett, Michael Walsh, Joe Blythe, Nick Reid and Lysbeth Ford.

Brief description

The Murriny Patha Song Project data collection consists of audio recordings and documentation of indigenous Australian music. The collection is one outcome of an ARC Discovery project to produce authoritative, thorough and archivally sound musicological and linguistic documentation of the public dance songs of the Murriny Patha (Murrinhpatha) people at Wadeye, NT, Australia.

The project team worked with traditional owners to record, translate and document song cycles from three song genres (djanba, wurltjirri and malgarrin). Contextual information about the song, the singers and associated places and concepts was also recorded.

The data collection includes data in a variety of media. Audio files were digitised in standard .mp3 and .wav formats. Video files were recorded in .mov, .mp4 and .mpeg2 formats. Documentary materials were collected and stored in multiple formats, including .xml, plain text, .rtf, word and .pdf. Supplementary materials include images in .tiff and .jpeg format.  Items in the data collection date from as early as 1950, and a significant portion of items were recorded through the 1980s and 1990s on audiocassette and DAT. These archival items were digitised between 2004 and 2008.

Collaborators include Linda Barwick, Allan Marett, Michael Walsh, Joe Blythe, Nick Reid and Lysbeth Ford.
