It made him wonder why he hadn&#8217;t learned about instruments such as putorino, putatara, purerehua, pahu pounamu or koauau when he too was a kid.\u00a0<br \/>&#8220;I was surprised when my own interest in taonga puoro was awakened in the late 1990 that I hadn&#8217;t learned something to do with my own culture in school,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Nowadays, taonga puoro is part of the curriculum of a lot of schools. It&#8217;s popular media that is helping to nurture it and bring it through. When i first started going into primary schools in 2001, I would take my instruments with me and the kids didn&#8217;t know what they were. Nowadays, kids will say to me &#8216;my dad or mum has one of those&#8217;. The knowledge of taonga puoro is very much a part of New Zealand culture and music now. It&#8217;s fantastic.&#8221;<br \/>Those schoolchildren aren&#8217;t the only ones impressed by Thorne&#8217;s command of taonga puoro &#8211; continents away, someone was listening and declaring in various interviews how highly he rated Thorne&#8217;s work. That someone was Berlin-based Kiwi electronica artist Olly Perryman, aka Fis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83345e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"83345e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rob-Thornes-Taonga-Puoro-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-841\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rob-Thornes-Taonga-Puoro-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rob-Thornes-Taonga-Puoro-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rob-Thornes-Taonga-Puoro-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rob-Thornes-Taonga-Puoro-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rob-Thornes-Taonga-Puoro.jpg 1420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b087c00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b087c00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Once Thorne became aware of Fis&#8217; support, he got in touch. &#8220;Someone lauding my work as wonderful, is someone who I want to work with,&#8221; Thorne says. &#8220;I don&#8217;t usually think &#8216;what do they do&#8217;, I think &#8216;wow, I want to work with this person not the art they do&#8217;.

Here was a very tall big dude and I am quite small so it was quite a surprise. We spent two weeks at an artist&#8217;s residence facility and did a bunch of compositions for the show.\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;The great thing about that was that Olly wanted to use my sounds to create other sounds, which I would then collaborate with.<\/p><p>&#8220;We recorded over three days at the Red Bull studio the week before the show. We recorded the scripted composition that we had prepared for the show plus I recorded a lot of improvised pieces with as many instruments as possible for a solo album. That&#8217;s the music you hear on Clear Stones [the album which resulted]. Olly took those recordings and spent the best part of a year working with them.<\/p><p>&#8220;The process worked really well. We were both thinking on our feet, which is a perfect recipe for improvised collaboration. It&#8217;s just amazing what Olly has done. The more I am listen to the album the more I am convinced that this is so cutting edge. He&#8217;s a freakin&#8217; genius.&#8221;<\/p><p>A trend with traditional Maori music has been allowing these instruments to stand on their own.<\/p><p>The recorded history of traditional Maori music has been very much linked to waiata and it&#8217;s various styles whether it be lullaby, lament or love song: the song was king.<\/p><p>That&#8217;s been slowly changing. Taonga puoro were used in the soundtracks to Once Were Warriors and Whale Rider before much-heralded Maori composer Hirini Melbourne and ethno-musicologist Richard Nunns released their ground-breaking 1994 album Te Ku Whe. For the first time traditional Maori instruments were given a musical context devoid of words that awakened the possibilities of these instruments in a contemporary setting.<\/p><p>Since then New Zealand composers Gillian Whitehead and Martin Lodge have made notable contributions to the development of taonga puoro in broader contexts while Nunns, Horomona Hora and more recently Thorne, who initially just wanted to be an alternative rock star until he heard Te Ku Whe, have expanded on the unique sounds and possibilities of these instruments in both solo and collaborative works.<\/p><p>Thorne&#8217;s rite of passage with his debut album Whaia Te Maramatanga blossomed with Pursue Enlightenment Suite and Whakawhiti and has moved into another stratosphere on his new album.<\/p><p>&#8220;Modern taonga puoro is collaborative art encompassed by Richard and Hirini,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Collaborating expands the understanding of the art form and its audience. It brings people into contact with a culture and musical tradition that they might not otherwise be exposed to. I see it as a response art. If someone gives me something, I respond to it. That was one of the things I was trying to achieve with Whaia Te Maramatanga. I wanted to pull it out of that safe of zone of collaboration and, I don&#8217;t mean this in a negative way, but, at the end of the day, people didn&#8217;t matter. I tend to be driven for the sake of the art. If you listen to the audience and try to find a sense of direction or approval or appeal from them, I&#8217;d have given up years ago.&#8221;<\/p><p>Read the full article here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rob Thorne would visit schools some 15 years ago with taonga puoro &#8211; traditional Maori instruments &#8211; and the children would be amazed. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":836,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artists","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -

Due to historical events there was a decline in the use and cultural practice of the instrumental traditions within M\u0101ori culture and with the knowledge base connected to it.  There has been a revival of this craft over the last 30-40 years, led by the late Hirini Melbourne, Richard Nunns, Brian Flintoff and Ringinui Keefe, Joe Malcolm, Clem Mellish, Rangiiria Hedley, Aroha Yates Smith, and Hinewirangi Kohu Morgan, Ross and Bruce Gregory, Te Miringa Hohaia and others.  Haumanu has grown from these initiatives.  The group is dedicated to the revival, teaching, and sharing of these taonga.","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"mao"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/#organization","name":"Haumanu Collective","url":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"mao","@id":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haumanu-tohu-vari3.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haumanu-tohu-vari3.jpg","width":900,"height":436,"caption":"Haumanu Collective"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/haumanucollective","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/haumanucollective\/"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/#\/schema\/person\/0f117d2e231571dae1f0569de5e72305","name":"Haumanu","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"mao","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/005e222cee3b173baa4464ab1aefba1e4d2b194ddec8c7f24a9a3f40e53f6e40?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/005e222cee3b173baa4464ab1aefba1e4d2b194ddec8c7f24a9a3f40e53f6e40?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/005e222cee3b173baa4464ab1aefba1e4d2b194ddec8c7f24a9a3f40e53f6e40?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Haumanu"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/new","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/haumanucollective","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/haumanucollective\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UClay7uiQVyx85C61L6CFffg"],"url":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/author\/webmasterbrendon\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=834"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/834\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":845,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/834\/revisions\/845"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.haumanucollective.com\/mao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
