Description:		Tape#2 Rabaul, ENBP Side A - Andrew 1st March 1993 Andrew Midian graduated from Rarongo Theological College in 1991 and his first field ministry posting was to Vunaulul Congregation, Nangananga village in Kokopo District. Andrew's views about modern electric band music was focused on man-woman relationships and love stories and experiences that takes away the minds and perspectives of people to be trapped in immorality in the christian faith. This is lowering of moral standards and polluting peoples minds and lives away from Godly living and religious music should be the encouragements. People get engrossed with pop and rock music in night clubs and social life that Sunday church workship was not a priority in their way of life in the villages so miss out the worshiping our creator God. With pentecostal movements and evangelism from the the mainstream protestant Methodist/United Church forms of worship with introduction of gospel music, english tunes were mainly used and use of tok pisin and tokples integrated whilst traditional tunes were not really used until later with modifications to rythum and type of singing. Andrew taught choir music and was choir master for Male, Female and Mixed choirs at Vunaulul Congregation and recorded with the United Church centre TIMAL at Malmaluan. The commercial studios like Soundstream studios were focusing more on pop and rock bands than the Gospel and Church choir recordings. Andrew describes types of choir singing an arrangements with noteable choir masters in Raboam Mael (Duke of York), Rasin ToLop (North Coast) and female choirs and conductors like Ruth from Viviran, Toma and how the choral festivals brought about competitive choirs across the Gazelle and Duke of York Islands. Women stringbands was also a highlight such as Lion Cousin ladies (Vunadidr) and Lonely LM Daughters (Toma) featuring popular and award winning female artist, Julia ToLiman. There were also introduction to Women gospel groups. Side B - David Kepas 14th March 1993 David Kepas left Painim Wok Band when he changed his life to the calling to become a born again christain. Despite attempts by Pacific Gold Studios Greg Seeto, George Telek and other band members to convince him to return or record upcoming albums, he stood his grounds to follow his christian faith and journey. David describes his views about how he saw music was evolving and developing both with studio recordings mainly Pacific Gold and music landscape, the standards and styles of musicians in electric bands, stringbands, gospel and elements of traditional music and impacts. He shares his views on christianity and music and the influences. His talents as a musician from a pop band was then transformed to be popular with the RMC Gospel band to sing praises to worship to God. (Steven Gagau, October 2019). Language as given:
