  • Hearing Ourselves: Globalisation, the State, Local Content and New Zealand Radio
    HEARING OURSELVES: GLOBALISATION, THE STATE, LOCAL CONTENT AND NEW ZEALAND RADIO A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology at the University of Canterbury by Zita Joyce University of Canterbury 2002 ii Abstract _____________________________________________________________________ Local music content on New Zealand radio has increased markedly in the years between 1997, when content monitoring began, and January 2002. Several factors have contributed to this increase, including a shift in approach from musicians themselves, and the influence of a new generation of commercial radio programmers. At the heart of the process, however, are the actions of the New Zealand State in the field of cultural production. The deregulation of the broadcasting industry in 1988 contributed to an apparent decline in local music content on radio. However, since 1997 the State has attempted to encourage development of a more active New Zealand culture industry, including popular music. Strategies directed at encouraging cultural production in New Zealand have positioned popular music as a significant factor in the development and strengthening of ‘national’ or ‘cultural’ identity in resistance to the cultural pressures of globalisation. This thesis focuses on the issue of airtime for New Zealand popular music on commercial radio, and examines the relationship between popular music and national identity. The access of New Zealand popular music to airtime on commercial radio is explored through analysis of airplay rates and other music industry data, and a small number of in-depth interviews with radio programmers and other people active in the industry. A considerable amount of control over the kinds of music supported and produced in New Zealand lies with commercial radio programmers.

    Sound Scripts Volume 6 | Issue 1 Article 12 2019 The eS mi-Autonomous Rock Music of The tS ones Darren Jorgensen University of Western Australia Recommended Citation Jorgensen, D. (2019). The eS mi-Autonomous Rock Music of The tS ones. Sound Scripts, 6(1). Retrieved from https://ro.ecu.edu.au/soundscripts/vol6/iss1/12 This Refereed Article is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/soundscripts/vol6/iss1/12 Jorgensen: The Semi-Autonomous Rock Music of The Stones The Semi-Autonomous Rock Music of The Stones by Darren Jorgensen1 The University of Western Australia Abstract: The Flying Nun record the Dunedin Double (1982) is credited with having identified Dunedin as a place where independent, garage style rock and roll was thriving in the early 1980s. Of the four acts on the double album, The Stones would have the shortest life as a band. Apart from their place on the Dunedin Double, The Stones would only release one 12” EP, Another Disc Another Dollar. This essay looks at the place of this EP in both Dunedin’s history of independent rock and its place in the wider history of rock too. The Stones were at first glance not a serious band, but by their own account, set out to do “everything the wrong way,” beginning with their name, that is a shortened but synonymous version of the Rolling Stones. However, the parody that they were making also achieves the very thing they set out to do badly, which is to make garage rock. Their mimicry of rock also produced great rock music, their nonchalance achieving that quality of authentic expression that defines the rock attitude itself.

  • Te Oro O Te Ao the Resounding of the World
    Te Oro o te Ao The Resounding of the World Rachel Mary Shearer 2018 An exegesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art and Design 1 2 ABSTRACT criteria of ihi—in this context, the intrinsic power of an event that draws a re- sponse from an audience, along with wehi—the reaction from an audience to this intrinsic power, and wana—the aura that occurs during a performance that encompasses both performer and audience, contribute to a series of sound events that aim at evocation or affect rather than interpretable narratives, stories or closed meanings. The final outcome of this research is realised as a sound installation, an exegesis and a 12” vinyl LP. Together these sound practices form a research-led practice document that demonstrates how and why listening to the earth matters, and pro- poses a multi-knowledge framework for understanding sound, space and environ- ment. Nō reira And so Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all This practice-led PhD is a situated Pacific response to international critical dia- logues around materiality in the production and analysis of sonic arts. At the core of this project is the problem of what happens when questions asked in contexts of Pākehā knowledge frameworks are also asked within Māori knowledge frameworks.

  • Jon Toogood. Height 180 Cm
    MC / Entertainer Biography Jon Toogood. Height 180 cm After 20-odd years of life in a rock band, Shihad’s lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Jon Toogood has chalked up a wealth of experience in the music business. Always keen to share his wisdom and skills, he enjoys mentoring budding songwriters and musicians. When he’s not performing with Shihad or his“other”band, The Adults, he can be found indulging in a wide range of interests including immersing himself in the latest technology, travelling the world, enjoying most forms of creative art, discovering new favourite eateries and watching the Warriors. After over two decades of belting out hits with Kiwi rock band Shihad, Jon Toogood knows a thing or two about surviving in the music business. Keen to pass on his extensive knowledge, the band’s lead singer, songwriter and guitarist gets a buzz from mentoring budding songwriters and musicians and sharing his candid views on the realities of being a full-time touring musician. The self-titled show pony loves performing, but he’s also a workhorse behind the scenes. He manages his other band, The Adults and was involved in a stage show called The Beatles Back2Back which toured Australia. Jon is also the musical direction go-to guy for the annual Kiwi music award shows at which he has also been a presenter. An art-lover and former graphic design student, Jon has recently spoken at the Wellington City Art Gallery. Among his latest projects are orchestral versions of The Adults ’songs with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and the Nelson String Quartet, and with Shihad he plans to shake things up by recording the band’s next album in Cairo.

From their roots in Wellington’s furious 90s punk metal scene, to the wild Berlin days, the tragic overdose of their manager, the international explosion of The General Electric, and the infamous American name-change, Shihad: Beautiful Machine asks – what went wrong? More than a documentary, this is an all-access pass to an extraordinary rock saga, charting a legendary band’s fight with fame, fortune, the industry, and finally – itself.
