He started with Nick Cave back in the days of The Birthday Party, and even managed to sneak a Birthday Party track on to the soundtrack, along with a few related songs from the time, such as The Saints and Chain. Harvey has a relatively detailed wiki listing here. While there are many references and interviews available by googling, Nathan Bush does a good overview of Harvey’s career at Allmusic here, with this excerpt noting Harvey’s work in film: ...Using any idle time between his two day jobs, Harvey composed soundtrack music for the documentary Identity - Kid and Gisa Schleelein's Totes Geld (both 1987). This would become the pattern for Harvey as he would bide time between Bad Seeds and Crime albums with film work (Alta Marea & Vaterland collects projects from 1987-1992), production duties, and guest appearances, all the while remaining one of the few constants in the Bad Seeds' fluctuating lineup. Harvey's most significant solo work came in 1995 with Intoxicated Man, a tribute to Serge Gainsbourg. A culmination of his craft, Harvey shifted easily through a number of settings, from the rollicking tribute to American outlaws "Bonnie and Clyde" to the dripping sentimentality of "Overseas Telegram." 1997 brought greater change for the Bad Seeds as Cave wrote a group of piano-led ballads for The Boatman's Call. Harvey contributed to most songs, but the sparse and reserved material called into question the necessity of the group. Harvey released Intoxicated Man's companion, Pink Elephants, the same year, and in 1999 curated the Bad Seeds' Best Of collection. He composed his tenth collection of film music for Andrew Dominik's Chopper, in 2000. A few years later, Harvey created the original score for Australian Rules, a 2002 film by director Paul Goldman. In 2005, Harvey resumed his solo career with One Man's Treasure. A selection of his film scores appeared as Motion Picture Music 1945-2005 from EMI in 2007, followed later in the year by a new studio album, Two of Diamonds. Harvey left the Bad Seeds in the late 2000s. No tracks from Australian Rules made it into the CD collection of Harvey’s film music, but the collection gives a good impression of Harvey’s range: (Below: Mick Harvey, first in a suitably Chopper-related pose, and then later in life) .

    Moby,Gotye, Boy&Bear and Australia's Music Elite Join

    December 5, 2011 MOBY,GOTYE, BOY&BEAR AND AUSTRALIA’S MUSIC ELITE JOIN FORCES WITH GPY&R SYDNEY IN MASSIVE BUSINESS DRIVE FOR VINNIES George Patterson Y&R Sydney has developed a multi-platform campaign for Vinnies designed to drive foot traffic through the charity’s 253 stores across NSW. It’s called Signed Finds and works on a very basic principle. Leading local and international music artists* have autographed and donated pre-loved, personal items that will be hidden in Vinnies outlets throughout the state. The fans of these bands (numbering in the millions) will receive hints about the shirts’ whereabouts through a dedicated Facebook page and then hit the stores to find them. They might not find the shirt first time, but they’ll likely walk out with some other Vinnies classic. Says ECD Julian Watt, “It’s a highly creative business initiative, and exactly the sort of thinking we’re pushing in the agency. Everyone wins. One of those self perpetuating ideas.” Luke Simkins, senior creative at GPY&R and long-time Vinnies shopper said, “Signed Finds is one of those creative perfect storms. “Recording artists get to do something cool for their fans and fans can get their hands on an amazing piece of memorabilia - all while helping people in need.” Julie McDonald, Community and Corporate Relations Manager for Vinnies said, “We’re delighted and honoured to be working with George Patterson Y&R on such an exciting project. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved because by shopping or donating to Vinnies, you are directly supporting the most marginalised and disadvantaged people in our community,” Julie added.

    Mick Geyer in 1996: NC: Mr Mick Geyer, My Chief Researcher and Guru, He Is the Man Behind the Scenes

    www.pbsfm.org.au FULL TRANSCRIPT OF DOCUMENTARY #3 First broadcast on PBS-FM Wednesday 12 April 2006, 7-8pm Nick Cave interviewing Mick Geyer in 1996: NC: Mr Mick Geyer, my chief researcher and guru, he is the man behind the scenes. How important is music to you? MG: It seems to be a fundamental spirit of existence in some kind of way. The messages of musicians seem to be as relevant as those of any other form of artistic expression. MUSIC: John Coltrane - Welcome (Kulu Se Mama) LISA PALERMO (presenter): Welcome to 'Mick Geyer: Music Guru'. I'm Lisa Palermo and this is the third of four documentaries paying tribute to Mick, a broadcaster and journalist in the Melbourne music scene in the 1980's and '90's. Mick died in April 2004 of cancer of the spine. He had just turned 51. His interests and activities were centred on his love of music, and as you'll hear from recent interviews and archival material, his influence was widespread, but remained largely outside the public view. In previous programs we heard about the beginnings of his passion for music, and his role at PBS FM, behind the scenes and on the radio. Now we'll explore Mick as a catalyst and friend to many musicians, through conversation and the legendary Geyer tapes, those finely crafted compilations of musical enlightenment and education. In this program we'll hear for the first time from: musicians Dave Graney & Clare Moore, Jex Saarelaht, Hugo Race, Tex Perkins, Warren Ellis, Kim Salmon, Brian Hooper, Charlie Owen, and Penny Ikinger; and from friends Beau Cummin, Mariella del Conte, Stephen Walker and Warwick Brown.
  • Tex Perkins of the Day, I’D Prefer to Be Laughing

    Tex Perkins of the Day, I’D Prefer to Be Laughing

    IN MY OWN WORDS Edited by Claire Bradley I grew up in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. The area was a swampland until they dumped a whole lot of dirt on it and ironed out the suburbs. It was a cool place to live because the bushland and creeks were an adventure – I had a Huckleberry Finn thing. I didn’t fi t in with the other kids. I made my own fun, which wasn’t entirely tragic or anything. I just never found anybody I connected with until I moved to Sydney when I was 17. Although I was in the school choir, I had no musical leanings back then. I was in it for the privileges – such as getting out of class. My siblings had a huge infl uence on my musical appreciation. My two older sisters and two older brothers had varying tastes, so I had quite an eclectic education. As the youngest of the family, I was spoilt and tortured. My sisters treated me as the baby, and my brothers made sure I paid my way in humiliation. I blame my bad bits on my Catholic boys’ school education. Back then, you could do what you liked to kids, especially in Catholic schools. A teacher could slap you or grab your hair; violence was rampant. Now they’d be charged with assault. I was a real stirrer. I felt, if that was authority, it needed to be undermined and questioned. I can’t think of anything I brought with me from school, apart from thinking I’d never let anybody treat me that way again.

    DT-Fullthesis Amendedfinalversion 1102017

    Learning to innovate collaboratively with technology: Exploring strategic workplace skill webs in a telecom services firm in Tehran Náder Alyani A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Science) LLAKES Centre Institute of Education University College London October 2017 1 Abstract This thesis explores innovation and learning within the context of an entrepreneurial new technology based firm (NTBF), operating in the creative sector of telecommunications value- added services located in Tehran, Iran, along with a partner in London, UK. Whilst backgrounding the socioeconomic and geopolitical characteristics of the operating environment, and historical antecedents of independence and self-sufficiency, plus chronic sanctions within the economy, the argument focuses on the interplay between intermediated learning via strategic ‘skill webs’ leading to innovation. Drawing on innovation and workplace learning corpus, collaborative innovation with technologies is organised as a competitive action in an unstable and unpredictable market: learning and skill enhancement in firms provides the stabilisers to remain and compete in the market. It is the juxtaposition of learning and innovation in service-innovation/-delivery design, while utilising pervasive and emerging telecoms technologies that provides the empirical base for this research. Conceptually, an emergent type of distributed learning, entitled as ‘DEAL’ (Design, Execute, Adjust and Learn) model, by enabling knowledge brokerage facilitated by ‘skill webs’, is identified and explored. This then acts as an analytical tool to examine the empirical elements which are in the form of longitudinal organisational ethnography on site visit waves, spanning 2004 to 2013, focusing on project learning breakthroughs and cul-de-sacs as observed by learning episodes, often utilising informal networks and skill webs in technical and non-technical tasks.
