THE BASICS Foxtel Festival Hub AUSTRALIA // Music Melbourne Festival presents THE BASICS Foxtel Festival Hub With the imminent release of their first studio album in six years, internationally-acclaimed Australian trio The Basics - Kris Schroeder, Wally De Backer (aka Gotye) and Tim Heath - will be ‘pushing envelopes and boundaries’ for two nights at the Foxtel Festival Hub.

Transaction fees may apply Their Melbourne Festival shows form part of their headline spot on www.festival.melbourne the Rock for Recognition tour, championing and raising awareness Ticketmaster 136 100 for Constitutional Recognition of Australia's First Peoples, featuring some very special guests still to be announced. #melbfest This role follows from an existing interest in political issues, as demonstrated by their run in the most recent Victorian State Election as the Basics Rock'n'Roll Party (BRRP), campaigning for Indigenous rights, local learning in Victorian schools, compulsory first-aid training in high schools and having more access to music in rural areas. The Basics have challenged and delighted fans and critics alike in their decade-long foray on the fringes of the Australian music scene, and their latest offering will once again be one of 2015's ‘must-see’ events. From a band whose founding members initially bonded over a mutual love of The Beatles, 70s and 80s cartoon theme songs and old Sierra adventure games, no show is ever the same as the last. .

  • 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.

  • Cleverhorse Release New Album - 50:Fifty out Now on Jazzhead Melodic and Cinematic Meets Frenetic and Quirky on an Album That Shuns Convention
    MEDIA RELEASE: 14 January 2016 cleverhorse release new album - 50:fifty out now on Jazzhead melodic and cinematic meets frenetic and quirky on an album that shuns convention 50:fifty is the new release by Melbourne five-piece instrumental ensemble cleverhorse. Led by composer/guitarist Robbie Melville, the band cites influences from ambient to avant-garde, funk to folk, jazz to jam band and world music. With this, their second album, cleverhorse present seven of Melville’s compositions and six improvised studio experiments. Half of the album features stylised, well- structured compositions that are interspersed with shorter improvised pieces. The group developed these improvisations as diversionary musical challenges intended to help maintain their energy, spark and creativity throughout the recording process. The result is a body of work that contrasts the melodic and cinematic with the frenetic and quirky, on an album that shuns conventions of jazz and improvised music. “Half the album is very ordered. The longer pieces have an intentional use of space and melodicism. The other half of the album is the direct opposite of that - mischievous, funky shorter pieces that are really quite idiosyncratic. The two styles of music are intended to complement and enhance each other. Listening to the album in its entirety is a bit of a roller coaster ride. The more “beautiful” pieces are made more so by being surrounded by the more “frenetic” pieces, and vice versa. This is the key feature of the album and why it’s entitled 50:fifty”, Robbie said. The first single from the album, Reich is a group improvisation inspired by the work of minimalist composer Steve Reich.

At first thought to be a music for only the younger generation, its staying power has been proven by the mixed-generation audiences that exist at rock concerts today and the existence of “classic rock” radio stations. This course will survey the stylistic development of rock music from its beginnings to the present, but with emphasis on the trends of the earlier decades that set the patterns of later developments. It will also be concerned with the music and musicians who have created rock’s history and with the social, political and cultural forces that have been at work in that history, particularly with regard to how these have influenced the sound of rock music. The course will begin with a short overview of the fundamentals of musical style to equip students who are new to the academic study of music with the tools necessary to an understanding of stylistic influences in the development of a musical tradition. The course will include a great deal of LISTENING, and you will be expected to develop the ability to recognize various aspects of musical style such as rhythm, form, timbre, etc.

From its prehistoric beginnings around campfires, through its evolution into complex musical styles such as jazz and electronica, to the current multi-billion dollar recording industry, music has enabled humanity to express its collective thoughts, feelings, and emotions through melody and rhythm. Historian Josh H. McDermott states that, “Music is universal, a significant feature of every known culture, and a major investment of resources, and yet it does not serve an obvious, uncontroversial function for those who create or listen to it” (McDermott 164). Humans across the world experience and create music; it is something that is integral to society and culture.

PPCA is a not for profit collecting society established to issue blanket licences, on a non- exclusive basis, for the public use of sound recordings and music video clips. Further information on PPCA and each signatory is appended to this submission (Appendix A). Our registered artists and record labels range from individual self managed artists and small labels through to world renowned artists and global record companies. PPCA‘s artists and labels rely on it to safeguard their rights, ensuring that they receive a fair return for the use of their music. It does this by licensing businesses to play recorded music in public, with the fees collected paid to the registered recording artists and record labels which have created the recordings. PPCA has over 2,700 directly registered recording artists, and there are also thousands of recording artists who earn income from PPCA via their record label relationships. Attached at Appendix B is a sample list of registered artists, demonstrating the range of individuals represented by PPCA who support this submission. For many years PPCA, on behalf of the Australian sound recording industry, has been lobbying for the removal of inequitable price restrictions contained in the Australian Copyright Act.
