21: TamTamedia 4
“multimedia?
What does that mean to one who washes in the stream,
hunts in the woods, and gathers the family by firelight.
many miles from the electric trappings of a city…
His multimedia is the tapping of the toddie for his wine…
the pounding of the mallets for the tapa…
the dreamtime he paints with pigments ground from the earth.
no electricity,
no high-tech support.
no batteries required…
…he tells me: ‘maybe you are not lost… afterall.’”
…a different drum.
