Siasi Chant (Morobe Province)
I've been living away from PNG, my homeland, for almost a year now... the longest I've ever spent in another country. And what I've started to notice is a longing for a much deeper connection to the places that are significant in my life; where I was born (Rabaul, ENB), my ancestral lands (Bulolo/Garaina in Morobe Province and Saposa in Bouganiville), as well as the sounds, the smells, the feelings, the cultures, the wisdoms... all of it.
Naturally I've been exploring this longing for connection through music. Lyrics to old lullabies, church tunes, war chants or childhood songs have come flooding back into my memory ... bringing with it words in local tok ples that I thought I had forgotten.
While scrolling through youtube I came across this mourning chant sung beautifully by the people of Siasi heritage (Morobe province). It touched my heart and I stayed up late last night putting down chords on my guitar and it inspired me to record this little video from my backyard in Australia... I may have mis-pronounced a few words in the Siasi language... sori tru to all my Siasi wantoks.. feel free to correct me in the comments!
To be honest, I woke up this morning with the chant in my head and had to put something down, so I grabbed my in-house media assistant (thanks Kalolaine Uechtritz ) and we did three raw takes on an iphone 15 pro... no mics or special attachments, just straight to phone.
I dropped the audio from the three raw files into logic pro, added some reverb and I pitch-shifted two audio files to 5th and 12th scale to create a bit of background harmony... the sound of the birds was what was recorded in the original files from the surrounding nature... and this was the result.... something that took me on a magical journey through an imaginary gateway back to Morobean lands.

Joycé eh (Morobe chant) // Chris Cobb

Something traditional from the part of the world I grew up in... my rendition. It's a long video, as I build the sound layer by layer before coming in with the vocals. So take some time out from the constant go go go and sit back and enjoy the journey... Chris Cobb.

This song has been a personal favourite for a long time...but i've never learnt the lyrics in full or performed it live ... until last Friday night at Maleny Lane... As I was preparing my song list for the gig the night before, the song was calling me, it just kept popping into my head. Sometimes when you love a song so much you don't want to sing it, because learning the lyrics and the chords ...
CHANT MEDLEY SAMPLE

This medley is a compilation of three traditional chants from my ancestral lands in Papua New Guinea, which I have turned into contemporary sounds. One of my goals is to record many more traditional chants in their original format (as so many are not recorded and at risk of being lost) and also taking the originals, which are just beats and chants, super raw, refining them and turning them into...

🥺😇 beautiful song ❤
As one of the Songwriters of this song it is so nice to see how far music can travel. From the initial from my house in Scotland, to pitching it to Ronan to it being released and then hearing you guys sing it halfway across the world. Mind blowing. This is why i make music. Incredible cover guys so nice to hear the song sung in this way. I will say, Ronan changed it but my original lyric was "Laying on this unmade bed" not "Sunday Bed". We only have 1 bed for all the days of the week in my house. Lovely stuff guys. Genuinely beautiful. Would love to hear you guys cover "Breathe" by Ronan as well. I may or may have not also written that. ;)
Thanks Dan for your comment! Wow what a treat to know the person who wrote the song has taken time to listen to this little cover and to share some little insights ... that is the wonderful thing about music! ... re: Breathe ... might just have a look at it! ;-)
