It’s a magical place, where money appears D in your bank account every Tuesday, you can sleep until midday every day of the week, and there are very few consequences for anything you do. No other town has the same sense of charm and mystique. I still remember driving into Dunedin for the first time – as my car reached the top of the hill overlooking the city from the north, I immediately fell in love with the place. Even the warm summer breeze is quintessentially, distinctively Dunedin. You know what I’m talking about. Most people finish their degrees after four or five years in Dunedin and move to Wellington, Auckland, Australia, or London. It sounds very glam at the time, and people often claim to be sooo over Dunedin after the end of fourth year. But almost invariably, they end up missing the place hugely by March or April of their first year in the real world. No one is immune. You too will miss Dunedin when you leave. All your friends live within walking distance. You can do 10-hour weeks for most of the year while getting paid. All your friends are students and thus are nearly always free to hang out. When you’re working full-time, don’t kid yourself that you’ll live the high life four times a week with the old gang, like Dunedin but with cooler bars. Your friends will be working long hours, having children, and living in remote suburbs on the outskirts of town. You will see them approximately ¼ as often. These are the glory days. Make the most of your time in Neverland, and don’t waste your last couple of years in Dunedin feeling too old for the place. Because of its magical, timeless nature, Dunedin is perfectly suited for fables of years gone by. People like Julian Stoner (see page 22) would struggle to last three days in the real world without resorting to charity, yet he lasted three full years in Dunedin. Even baby boomers can enjoy their midlife crises without ever truly comprehending the stereotypes they have become (see page 16). But as in Michael Jackson’s Neverland and classic fables like Hansel and Gretel, the under-tens often face trials and tribu- lations in Dunedin – Maddy Phillipps dedicates a poem to the short life of the Little Foetus in the Pink Knitted Cap on page 24. This week, a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed bunch of aspiring news writers take the first step toward making the most of their time in Neverland. Nine have written news articles. Only four will survive the brutal cull over the next few weeks. The Great Intern Massacre of 2013 will go down in Dunedin history as yet another real-life fable. Good luck to you all. -Callum Fredric critic.co.nz | 5 NEWS The queue at 10am on Tuesday. heart-wrenching for students who missed out very upset, as the party was “the only reason Hyde Street on the limited ticket supply.

  • Social Spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay
    Social spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay This article aims to briefly explore some the compositional links that exist between Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and acousmatic music. Whilst the central theme of this article will focus on compositional links it will suggest some ways in which we might use these links to enhance pedagogic practice and widen access to acousmatic music. In particular, the article is concerned with documenting artists within Intelligent Dance Music (IDM), and how their practices relate to acousmatic music composition. The article will include a hand full of examples of music which highlight this musical exchange and will offer some ways to use current academic thinking to explain how IDM and acousmatics are related, at least from a theoretical point of view. There is a growing body of compositional work and theoretical research that draws from both acousmatics and various forms of electronic dance music. Much of this work blurs the boundaries of electronic music composition, often with vastly different aesthetic and cultural outcomes. Elements of acousmatic composition can be found scattered throughout Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and on the other side of the divide there are a number of composers who are entering the world of acousmatics from a dance music background. This dynamic exchange of ideas and compositional processes is resulting in an interesting blend of music which is able to sit quite comfortably inside an academic framework as well as inside a more commercial one. Whilst there are a number of genres of dance music that could be described in terms of the theories that would normally relate to acousmatic music composition practices, the focus of this article lies particularly with Intelligent Dance Music.

  • Processes and Systems in Computer Music
    Processes Processes and systems and systems in computer in computer music; from music; from meta to matter meta to matter DR TONY MYATT DR TONY MYATT 05 2 The use of the terms ‘system’ and ‘process’ to generate works of music are often applied to the output of composers such as Steve Reich or Philip Glass, and also to Serial composers [1]2 from Schoenberg to Stockhausen, or to the works of experimentalists like John Cage. This may be where these terms are most clearly expressed, in either the material of the work or in the discourse that surrounds it, but few composers would not claim that systematic processes lie at the root of their work, in the methods they use to generate, manipulate, or control sound. The grand narrative of twentieth century classical music to move away from the tonal system of harmony has prompted experimental composers to push at the boundaries of music to discover approaches that create original musics. With the advent of the computer age and the use of computers to control and generate sound, it appeared to many that it was inevitable this new technology might take forward the concept of music. Computers, as we will see, were initially employed as tools that sustained traditional concepts of music, but as Cage hinted in 1959, and maybe for the same reason, perhaps this is now changing. In this essay, I will discuss how these early approaches to systematic process developed a canon of computer music, and in particular algorithmic systems and processes that reflected an underlying vision of what computer technologies were thought to hold in store, from a utopian and rationalist perspective.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This dissertation explores the idea of electronica as a descendent of electronic dance music, which, although embodying many related aesthetic qualities, operates within a different set of musical values. This needs to be understood in the context of how dance music's character, form and modes of performance relate to its specific cultural function. Repetitive beats (as espoused by house and techno in particular) comprise part of the cultural experience of rave. In combination with drug technologies and an ethos of collectivity, rave encapsulates a set of political phenomena that are entrenched within the formal and textural priorities of dance music. I discuss how modes of reception are affected by changes in these priorities, and to what extent post-dance music neglects the physicality that defines the political dimension of dance music's relationship to the body.
