What is common amongst Japanese ancient court music, Aboriginal music, and octopus ball dumplings? This interview was originally broadcast in February 2022.
Dr Doi grew up listening to gagaku music and became a big fan of the genre.
When he was in uni, the passion became deeper and deeper.
He started studying religions and music at a research institute in Japan. Then he happened to assist a graduate student from Australian National University. That led him to study Aboriginal music at ANU eventually.
In the audio, Dr Doi tells us about Japanese gagaku and Aboriginal music he learned. He also talks about his new takoyaki food business in Canberra.
