Uploading to Triple J Unearthed Author: Lou James the Push's Music Industry Pathways Coordinator Uploading to Triple J Unearthed Author: Lou James The Push's Music Industry Pathways Coordinator Q&A with Claire Mooney Photo: Claire Mooney (Australian Music Producer at Triple J Unearthed) Q: Can you begin by telling us a little bit about you and your role at Triple J Unearthed? A: I am a very passionate person who loves music. I started at Triple J Unearthed nearly two years ago now. My role is Australian Music Producer is very music based and that role involves a lot of listening to everything that gets sent through to the website. We get about 500 songs a week, so it’s lots of listening, programming and reviewing. Q: How important is receiving radio airplay in comparison to other media? A: That’s a hard question because some artis ts don’t even upload to Triple J Unearthed and do really well. However, uploading is amazing because we do our best to find opportunities for emerging artists that are uploading really great songs, whether that’s a competition, or sending music to a specialist show on Triple J and bring that to the music meetings. Radio brings a different experience to music and you can find a fan for life. Q: What is the difference between Triple J Unearthed, Triple J and Double J? A: Definitely the audiences. Triple J Unearthed and Double J are our digital station and Triple J is a normal radio station. Triple J Unearthed is a discovery platform showcasing emerging Australian music and is very community focused, whereas Triple J is live and plays big international artists, more programming and more interviews. Double J is our older sister digital station, that will play music from Kaiit who is up and coming to Paul Kelly who is an Australian icon. Q: What is the best format to upload music to Triple J Unearthed? A: The best format is a MP3 file Q: Is it important to understand Triple J’s demographic when uploading music to Triple J Unearthed? A: Not really. I think Triple J Unearthed is a platform for anyone to create the music you love and to share it with everyone! It’s very open and community focused. Q: What are the common mistakes artists make with their Triple J Unearthed profiles? A: The uploading process, it might be a WAV, a minute of silence at the end of the song, or a sample that’s not loud enough. An artist isn’t aloud samples unless they bought it or that it’s been approved and same with remixes, they need to be Australian or approved, no covers and no offensive language. Q: Is the profile image important to consider for Triple J Unearthed? A: Not at all! Triple J Unearthed is all about what it sounds like. Q: I’m an artist, I have an EP worth of songs. Should I upload all of those songs?? A: On Triple J Unearthed you’re only allowed to upload three songs. My advice is to upload one, see how it goes, email the team to listen and leave a review. Best to leave it up there for a bit and create momentum for your next upload. Remember every week we add to rotation 20-30 songs and we’ve already cut that list down, so generally we can’t add more than one song per artist. Q: Can you upload a demo version of your song? A: This depends on how the demo sounds. We have uploaded demos before and then when an artist has a mastered version, we’ll switch it over . When you’re thinking about radio, we are going to pick a song that sounds better produced compared to a lo-fi demo in which we can’t hear the vocals but sometimes a low-fi demo can work! Q: Is an artist able to seek feedback on their music? A: Absolutely and we encourage it! We’ve got a Triple J Unearthed email, so it’s pretty easy for an artist to email us and ask for feedback and we’ll reply because it’s our job to help develop artists and help them as much as we can! Q: Considering Triple J Unearthed is for emerging artists, how do you decide what to listen to and review? A: Part of my job is to listen and review everything that comes through. I remember when I listened to Arno Faraji's track for the first time and it was so great, but it had a sample in the track, so I emailed him telling him that I loved the track but needed him to remove the sample. He did and uploaded it again and he won Triple J Unearthed High six month later! We’re always excited about the future of the artist we hear and being part of the journey with them. I’ll consider anything that sounds good, maybe it’s the chorus and or a riff etc. Rotation really depends on showcasing a variety of music so we probably won’t add 10 hiphop tracks but might add it across the next few weeks. Q: How does Triple J Unearthed Influence Triple J? A: There’s a music meeting with Triple j Unearthed and Triple J every week to showcase our favourite tracks of the week with each other and a lot of Triple J presenters will discover some of their favourite tracks on Triple J Unearthed too. We have a feature artist every week and their music will get played on Triple J which is amazing national exposure for them.

  • Report to the Senate Inquiry Into Broadcasting
    REPORT TO THE SENATE INQUIRY INTO BROADCASTING Summary 1.This paper discusses the decline in programme standards for regional radio in inland N.S.W. with emphasis on the Dubbo region in particular. A list of suggestions is included that might remedy the situation. 2. Networking is outlined in the second part of this paper. I try to show that since the introduction of supplementary FM licences that networking has become the norm at the expense of the listener. Again a list of suggestions follow that would bring a satisfactiry compromise to the regrettable networking situation we have at the moment in country Victoria, N.S.W. and Queensland. Submitted by; Richard Mutton 1 Waverley Drive DUBBO 2830 phone 02 68 842124 [ah] fax 02 68 846778 mobile 0409 228 209 e mail [email protected] A DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL RADIO. PART A: RADIO IN THE CENTRAL WEST OF N.S.W. When I first came to Dubbo in 1989, there were 2 radio stations in this city, the ABC 2CR Orange transmitting from Cudal and commercial station 2DU transmitting from Eulomogo near Dubbo. Other stations with weaker signals could be picked up in Dubbo, but were hardly listenable. Now in 2000, we have 10 stations: Tourist Radio FM88; 2KY Racing Radio; Zoo FM; Star FM; Radio Rhema; ABC Triple J; ABC Classic FM; Local ABC 107.1; ABC Radio National all on the FM band and commercial station 2DU on the AM band. Frankly, the radio service for Dubbo was better in 1989 than it is now in 2000.

It is very pleasing to reward so many talented science students, across all undergraduate years. The Foundation awards 20 scholarships to recognize excellence and to encourage further study in physics. For 2017 the number of female recipients were lower than we had hoped, a result that can be improved especially as the ISS continues to show leadership in the gender equity and diversity space. The Foundation has been able to support the School in several ways, with a total of $300,000 transferred in 2017. Support was provided to our Julius Sumner Miller Fellow, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki AM, and to Dr Chris Stewart. This is a very pleasing outcome and we gratefully acknowledge all donations to the Foundation and the Messel Endowment to enable this support to continue.

  • Triple J 2018: Ben & Liam Back on Brekkie, Marigliano Moves To
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday 6 December 2017 triple j 2018: Ben & Liam back on Brekkie, Marigliano moves to Mornings and a Ratdog returns triple j are rapt to welcome back Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Brooke Boney to triple j Breakfast in 2018. After a massive first year together, with highlights including Zipper & The Shit-Stick, Pub Trivia with Lorde and their recent ARIA lookalikes prank, we’re excited to see what they have in store next year. Gen Fricker will continue hanging out with Lewis Hobba on Drive until Veronica Milsom returns from maternity leave later in the year.

In an exciting move, beloved Good Nights presenter Linda Marigliano steps up to Mornings, replacing Zan Rowe. In her new role Linda will have even more chances to exercise her encyclopaedic music knowledge every weekday, and hang out with everyone’s favourite science expert, Doctor Karl, each Thursday. Excited for a new challenge, Linda Marigliano says "It's been such a blast presenting new music in the evenings, getting those hot jams out there and winding those windows dowwnn! I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to create this Good Nights beast six years ago, and oh boy it's been a party every night. But I love to shake things up, and I am honoured to follow on from my dear friend and legend Zan Rowe, bringing my true music nerd to triple j Mornings.” In Linda’s place, Ballarat born and bred Bridget Hustwaite takes over Good Nights.

  • 'Never Be Like You (Feat Kai)' #1 in Triple J's 2016 Hottest
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday 26 January 2017 FLUME’S ‘NEVER BE LIKE YOU (FEAT KAI)’ #1 IN TRIPLE J’S 2016 HOTTEST 100 2016’s Hottest 100 saw a record number of votes placed. At over 2.2 million it was up a whopping 7.6% on last year. Of that staggering figure, there was one song which rose above the rest to claim the top spot – Flume’s ‘Never Be Like You (feat Kai)’. triple j’s Music Director Richard Kingsmill says of the song “It’s rare that a song released back in January will end up in the Hottest 100, let alone at the very top, but ‘Never Be Like You’ just kept growing. Collaborating with Canadian singer Kai, Flume could have crafted a fairly straight love song. The melody line alone was strong and the lyrics were heartfelt without being clichéd. But by adding that surprising rhythm track with some pretty abrasive percussion, then throwing those swirling synths on top, he produced a song that only got more powerful over repeated listens.” If one act musically dominated 2016, it was Flume. He’s had a blockbuster 2016 and it all started with the lead single from his highly anticipated second album, Skin. Released in January, ‘Never Be Like You’ not only kicked off the Aussie producer’s banner year but sustained his success throughout it. Collaborating with Canadian singer Kai, Flume breaks new ground with melody and songcraft while pushing his future-thinking electronic production into the mainstream. Framing a stirring vocal performance with an ear-dazzling array of stuttering synths and percussive sparks, ‘Never Be Like You’ is at once heartbreakingly intimate yet big enough to become a Platinum- minted festival-sized anthem.
