Calling Home: Pete Gorman in Gyumri, Armenia

New Zealand – June 5 2022

Karitane native Pete Gorman has been working as a digital nomad since 2015, living for short periods of time in an incredible number of countries: Mexico, Thailand, Estonia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia, Nepal, Malaysia, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Georgia, and now Gyumri, Armenia. (This is actually his third time in Armenia.)

A freelance video editor by trade, Gorman was an active member of the Dunedin music scene in the 1990s with indie band Munky Kramp. He made a documentary about the post-punk/hardcore scene called 'The Other Dunedin Sound' that you can find online.

Gorman and his Thai wife Nok have only been in Armenia for a couple of months this time around, and they'll be heading back to Georgia after this. He's Calling Home this morning.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
