This week, "Soundscapes" is featuring the soundtrack from the SBS TV series "RAN (Remote Area Nurse)". RAN is an Australian drama series, filmed entirely on Masig Island (Yorke Island) in the tropical Torres Strait (north of the Cape York Peninsula), the northernmost part of Australia (State of Queensland), and the border with Papua New Guinea. This is an important series to Torres Strait Islanders, but also to the Anglo-Australian community, as it highlights the difference between Islanders and mainland Indigenous Australians, and the interactions between Islander and Anglo culture. First aired in early 2006 on SBS television, it follows the life of Helen Tremain (Susie Porter), the Remote Area Nurse, charged with providing medical services to the remote Torres Strait Islanders community. Painting a vivid, relaxed aural picture of life in the far north, with harmonised voices, wood percussion, ukeleles and steel guitars. Featuring from the Torres Strait Islands: Seaman Dan, King Kadu, Albert David, Charles Passi, Biston Special, Dujon Niue, Norah Bagiri and many more. Recorded on Masig Island on set by Greg Burgmann, Glenn Townson, Annie Lui, Christina Klose. On location recordings from Thursday and Hammond Islands recorded by David Bridie and Albert David. Tune in from 7pm Friday on your radio (98.9 FM), live stream from our website (tyga-fm.org) or download the TuneIn app for your smart phone/mobile device.
