Title: Gnabag Aluj, TEAGBAF080225_001
Language: ISO639-3:tea
Date: 2008-02-25
Country: Malaysia
Notes: Digital recording of a music session made by Geoffrey Benjamin in 2008. This is an actual ʔalʉj Səlamad session/séance (unlike the earlier one from 2006 which was just a singsong for Benjamin to record – people singing songs that they associated with the ʔalʉj Səlamad religion but they were not necessarily followers themselves). Figure 14.14 of Benjamin's Temiar Religion book was taken at this recording session, showing the house where it was recorded. The text on p.370 onward of the book describes this session. Notes on this recording session start on p.41 of Notebook 13.

Title: Gnabag Humid, TEAGBAR640411_001
Language: ISO639-3:tea, Unspecified
Date: 1964-04-11
Country: Malaysia
Notes: Digitisation of a mono open reel music session recording, recorded and digitised by Geoffrey Benjamin. The recording was made very early on in Benjamin's field work with the Temiar. The group knew that Benjamin was interested in music so they performed for him (they would have known about recording because they would have heard Ading Krah's recordings on the Orang Asli radio). They claimed the performance was just for entertainment but some children later revealed that the singing was religiously related. A photo of the recording session can be found in Figure 2.5 in Benjamin's Temiar religion book. Figure 2.6 is a photo of one of the singers, Saleh, the late father of Benjamin's friend Abur, and who was known as the P. Ramlee of the Perolak river. Track list with song and singer names as given by Malam upon listening to the recording can be found in the accompanying tracklist, typed up by Benjamin based on notes on p.46 of Notebook 1 (Benjamin's notes on each track also found on p.46 of Notebook 1). Note that the numbering of the tracks in the tracklist does not correspond to the numbering of the digital files as received from Geoffrey Benjamin.

Title: Gnabag Lamug, TEAGBAF071229_001
Language: ISO639-3:tea
Date: 2007-12-29
Country: Malaysia
Notes: Digital recording of a music session made by Geoffrey Benjamin in 2007. The recording is of people singing songs which they associated with the ʔalʉj Səlamad religion, as an example for Benjamin to record (this was not an actual ceremony, and the people in the recording were not necessarily followers themselves). They also prepared the decorations to suit such a ceremony. The singers announce their name and the name of the song before each song. There are no notes about this recording session in the notebook. Photos of the session can be found under Photos. The style of headdress that can be seen in these photos is very much ʔalʉj Səlamad style, with the flowers interwoven.

Date: 2006-12-10
Country: Malaysia
Notes: Digital recording of a music session made by Geoffrey Benjamin in 2006 at Mɛnrɔɔd, on the Brɔk river on the upper reaches of the Nenggiri (Mering river in Malay, west of Fort Brooke about 10 minutes off the highway between Grik and Gua Musang). The recording includes Pg. Maluuʔ, son of ʔaluŋ, singing in the gamɔʔ style. Notes about this recording session on p.7 and p.15 of Notebook 12. 'Gamɔʔ is the style of Rɛŋnɛɛŋ & Mɛnrɔɔd; they don't know pɛnhəəy here. Gamɔʔ is tərliwat, the women sing after the halaaʔ, or independently' (p.15 Notebook 12).
