Universities Australia Chief Executive Catriona Jackson said sustained Indigenous recruitment strategies across Australian universities have meant there are more Indigenous students than ever before. “Nearly 20,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are now studying at university – a doubling over the past decade. But universities know more needs to be done,” Ms Jackson said. “Barriers remain and it’s not always easy to see a pathway to uni – particularly for those who are the first in their family to consider higher education. That’s why this campaign is designed to both inspire and inform potential Indigenous students.” Deadline for nominations for ANUEF Committee ANUEF Members have been advised by the Secretary, Jan O’Connor, that nominations from financial members to serve on the ANUEF Committee are due by 5.00pm on Wednesday, November 18.

  • London Contemporary Orchestra Textures Spitfire Audio User Manual Congratulations
    LONDON CONTEMPORARY ORCHESTRA TEXTURES SPITFIRE AUDIO USER MANUAL CONGRATULATIONS Thank you for purchasing Spitfire Audio - London Contemporary Orchestra Textures. Our second collaborative venture with the internationally-acclaimed London Contemporary Orchestra took us to an awe-inspiring aircraft hangar for a re- cording process like no other. Together we have created a completely unique, never-before-sampled sound palette — a sophisticated collection of constantly evolving organic textures, formed by layering unexpected combinations of instru- ments (from tuned wine glasses, to felt piano to voices). In applying the signature workshopping, performance styles and innovative techniques that have made the LCO so sought after, we have produced textures made up of indefinable, fas- cinating sounds. To capture these textures, we needed a space with unparalleled acoustics, which led us to the most un- conventional recording space in Spitfire’s eleven year sampling history — a cavernous aircraft hangar in Suffolk, England, with a remarkable 10 second reverb tail — adding incredible resonance to each note. Enhanced with our unique Evo Grid technology and mixed by renowned mix engineer, Joe Rubel, we give you access to a cutting edge, inspiring collection of instantly playable, spellbinding textures which will add incredible depth and colour to your composition.
