New Zealanders started hearing things in new ways when new audio technologies arrived from overseas in the late 19th century. From the first public demonstration of a phonograph in a Blenheim hall in 1879, people were exposed to a succession of machines that captured, stored and transmitted sounds – through radio, cinema and recordings.
Peter Hoar has chronicled a ‘sonic revolution’ in how New Zealanders heard the world in his new book The World's Din.

A dance company from Wellington called Movement of the Human mounted a show called HuriHuri with wheelchair dancer Rodney Bell in a high wire duet with Brydie Colquhoun alongside young hip hop dancers and traditional Pacifika performers.
Choreographer Malia Johnstone says the response was enthusiastic and extremely positive. She also worked with Rodney on his one man show Meremere which he's touring through heartland Aotearoa this winter.
Just before he left for the Gold Coast Rodney Bell spoke to Eva Radich about putting his life story on stage in Meremere.
