In this 8 mins podcast pilot, we extracted conversations with people across different communities: A Paiwan hunter from Lalauran, Taitung, spoke about the sacred relationship with other alive beings, embodied by hunters’ gestures. A representative from Kenya, one of the Borneo highlander (Dayak) community, expressed the purpose of gong’s sound for their village as a daily ritual. The dreamer from Semai and Termiar unveiled meaningful events, signs and symbols they seek in their dream and endangered shamanistic rituals. A piece of memory about the link between paddles and after-life for Melanau, a river community based in Mukah, Sarawak.

​​Four story snippets are juxtaposed and interwoven in this listening experience, providing you with a glimpse of first-hand interviews and completed narratives composed together by conversation setters and people in front of them. Full-length podcast series will release throughout 2021/2022 on Big Trip online platform.
