Australia’s First Nations people and Australian Diggers stand together this Remembrance Day with the release of a moving new arrangement of The Last Post <\/em>titled The Last Post (Winds of Change).<\/em><\/p>\n

In the spirit of reconciliation, a moving new arrangement of\u00a0T<\/em>he Last Post, <\/em>performed by First Nations didgeridoo player Mark Atkins\u00a0and jazz virtuoso\u00a0James Morrison,\u00a0<\/em>will be launched and available on\u00a0Saturday, November 11, Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

The Last Post (Winds of Change) <\/em>pays homage to the shared experience of First Nations soldiers and Australian soldiers in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp on the battlefield since World War I and is\u00a0the first time the song has been performed with a didgeridoo alongside a bugle.<\/p>\n

The audio of the new arrangement is now freely available for commemorative use by Communities and Organisations nationwide and is available for download at\u00a0thelastpost.au.<\/p>\n

A film\/music clip ofThe Last Post (Winds of Change)<\/em>will be launched at\u00a011am on Saturday November 11, Remembrance Day, via Sydney Opera House social networks. The clip was created in collaboration with the Sydney Opera House in 2022, it features both artists performing the arrangement atop the Opera House sails with the magnificent Sydney Harbour as the backdrop.<\/p>\n

In the new arrangement Mark is pioneering the didgeridoo in a unique and new way by playing a melody instead of a drone. By treating the Didgeridoo as a melodic instrument Mark re-imagines the capabilities of the Didgeridoo. Ricky Bloomfield invented a new technology to record the Didgeridoo for this production, by developing a microphone capsule (The Vibe Mic), designed to capture overtones through wooden floorboards as an extension of the instrument.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new arrangement is a healing acknowledgement, and a practical way of sharing the\u00a0history of all our diggers serving together, inspiring a spirit of unity and respect within our communities moving\u00a0forward,\u201d said\u00a0Chelsy Atkins, project manager\/producer and daughter of Mark Atkins.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>My Grandfather on my father\u2019s side served for 4 years as a machine gunner in the first\u00a0World War which had a 20% chance of survival,\u201d\u00a0said Mark Atkins, The Last Post (Winds of Change)<\/em> creator and didgeridoo player.\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>I also have Uncles and Aunties that served on\u00a0my mother\u2019s side. The difference was when my Aunties and Uncles returned, they were not\u00a0allowed to go into the bars, clubs, march or gather with the Australian soldiers or be together to honour and remember the fallen that they fought alongside. This new arrangement was created to help ensure memories of the First Nations soldiers and ANZACs who fought – side-by-side live on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>The wonderful thing about this project is that it\u2019s not trying to replace anything, it\u2019s bringing things together; a great tradition that\u2019s already there with another much older tradition, and blending them, and it\u2019s such a\u00a0powerful message because\u00a0of that,\u201d\u00a0said James Morrison AM, bugle player.<\/p>\n

Production of the piece began in early 2020, and alongside\u00a0Mark Atkins, the rendition was arranged and produced by\u00a0C<\/strong>helsy Atkins (Garrijimanha)\u00a0and\u00a0Ricky Bloomfield (Bear Mountain Productions). Chelsy Atkins organised extensive consultation with relevant community groups, and received endorsement letters from numerous individuals and organisations including the RSL & Services Clubs Association, RSL NSW, the Australian War Memorial,\u00a0Archie Roach AM,\u00a0Shane Howard AM,\u00a0John Schumann, Ernie Dingo, Hon Ken Wyatt AM MP\u00a0and\u00a0Hon. Kevin Rudd AC.<\/p>\n
