Sebastian Moody &C
B U Sebastian Moody &c. S PROJECTS B U ‘The View’ is a suite of conceptual paintings by Sebastian Moody. The paintings are meditations on the idea of perspective, considering this as an act that occurs simultaneously-internally and externally. Simply, the works are “thinking about looking” or “looking at thinking”. Moody’s practice is concerned with how our values and ideas are constructed. In equal parts gravitas and humour, his art is most often presented through public text works, relational performances, and painting. His well known large-scale public text works have appeared in swimming pools, vehicular underpasses, and building walls; elsewhere, Moody’s works have appeared in a diversity of public and private locations creating personals ads, market research campaigns, kitchen splashbacks, coffee cup ‘interventions’, pop- up bars, focus groups, hang gliders at music festivals, shopping receipt ‘portraits’. Moody lives and works in Brisbane where he has completed a Master of Museum Studies at The University of Queensland (2009) and a Bachelor Gallery Director: Channon Goodwin Sebastian Moody of Visual Arts at the Queensland University of Design: Adam Cruickshank The View Technology (2001).

Factors That Influence Engagement in On-Site Environmentally Responsible
Factors that influence engagement in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at music festivals Marisol Alonso Vazquez Bachelor in Foreign Trade Master in Marketing A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 Business School i Abstract The study of on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at outdoor events is important because of the negative environmental degradation that may be caused when hosting these events. Studying these behaviours is especially important at music festivals that are held in protected areas, and/or for festival managers who have an interest in controlling the events’ negative environmental impacts. Despite recent interest by event managers in developing strategies to encourage attendees’ environmentally responsible behaviours, this task is still a challenge because attendees may be disinterested in behaving pro-environmentally in the music festival context. Given this, event managers need to find novel ways to encourage attendees to participate more in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours. To contribute toward finding alternative ways to encourage more participation, this research investigated the major psychographic factors that influence attendees’ engagement in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at music festivals. To identify these factors, the following research activities were carried out: phone interviews with music festival managers (10 participants); two online questionnaires (pre-visit and post-visit to festivals) across multiple music festivals (1,313 and 420 participants, respectively); and on-site interviews with attendees at a three-day music festival located near an Australian national park (81 participants). The findings of this study reveal that event managers consider it important to build a pro- environmental culture into their event communities in order to capitalise on attendees’ sense of community that may support environmentally responsible behaviours.

7 a Survey of Traditional South-Eastern Australian Indigenous Music
7 A survey of traditional south-eastern Australian Indigenous music Barry McDonald Independent researcher Abstract This chapter comprises a discussion of south-eastern Australian traditional Aboriginal music, based on the evidence of features that have been described by observers and researchers since the beginning of European occupation in the late eighteenth century. The accounts canvassed cover subjects such as instrumentation, dance forms, song types, song creation, and musical education. An examination of recorded musical forms follows this survey, with the results of selected scholars’ analyses summarised in order to determine if stylistic homogeneity can be discerned within the sample. Further discussion contends that the attempt to isolate regional styles for Australian Indigenous musics is hampered by the fact that much of the data around south-eastern practice and production were gathered well before similar work began in other areas of the continent, by which time European attitudes and scholarly technologies and methodologies had undergone considerable and significant development. On the other hand, where south-eastern studies have been undertaken more recently, it is not known how far the music recorded has been modified by protracted European influence. Keywords: regionalism, instrumentation, performance styles, composition, education. Introduction This chapter originally formed part of a much larger study examining change in south-eastern Australian Aboriginal music between 1830 and 1930 (McDonald 2001; see also McDonald 1996a, McDonald 1996b). Its purpose there was to provide a foundational description of Aboriginal music from which the direction, quality, and extent of subsequent change in the south-east could be discerned. The study found that, while musical structures altered radically in response to European innovation, various important, essential, Indigenous elements endured.
