Tabaran is a Sound of Australia and Carl Vine's final collaboration with the Goldner Quartet

Tabaran, the 1990 album by Not Drowning, Waving and the musicians Of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea featuring Telek, has been inducted into the National Film and Sound Archive as one of the Sounds of Australia. David Bridie looks back on the album, which saw the band head to Papua New Guinea to work with George Telek for the first time. The music of Australian composer Carl Vine serves as a swan-song for the Goldner Quartet, who have wrapped up by releasing their final album Child's Play . The title comes from one of Carl's pieces, and he joins Andy to talk about the music and collaborating with the Goldners.
