Born in Papua New Guinea in 1958, Paul was raised in Melbourne where he attended Wesley College. He began classical piano lessons at the age of five, studying with Mack Jost from 1965-1978. He began informal studies in jazz around 1976, and fully devoted his energies to improvised music from 1978. During the 70’s he became prominent in the music scene in Melbourne, working in various jazz, theatre and cabaret projects. He lived in Munich, Germany from 1980-1985, where he was active on the local and European jazz scenes, performing and recording with Johnny Griffin, Chet Baker, Art Farmer, Benny Bailey, Guenther Klatt, Marty Cook and many others. He returned to Australia in 1986. In 1983, he formed the Paul Grabowsky Trio, winner of four ARIA awards and one of Australia’s longest-living and most influential jazz ensembles. He has also won two Helpmann awards, several Bell awards and a Deadly award. He was the Sydney Myer Performing Artist of the year in 2000, and received the Melbourne Prize for Music in 2007. As a performer, he became known for his work with the ‘Wizards of Oz’, a group he co- led with saxophonist Dale Barlow from 1987-1989 and Vince Jones, for whom he was musical director in 1988-89.

This document is one very preliminary proposal for the design of a Future Internet—an outline of requirements and architecture. This document should only be seen as a first step in such a proposal; there are many parts that remain to be considered and elaborated.

    ORIG IN2004 EDITION 1 S Vice Chancellor’s comment Welcome to the first edition of Origins which profiles Australia’s newest university. Established in November 2003, Charles Darwin University is a place for fresh thought, bold vision and renewed focus. The first step has been to develop a new framework for the institution and we have been heartened by the support and input from our stakeholders in making sure we build the right framework to deliver outcomes for the Territory. The energy and enthusiasm that Charles Darwin University is harnessing in finding knowledge solutions is inspirational – and we have only just opened for business. With campuses and study centres located across the Northern Territory, we offer opportunities beyond what is normally expected of a University. We provide pathways into a broad range of courses in traditional areas as well as specialist areas unique to our location including tropical and desert studies and Indigenous research and education. For a place steeped in Aboriginal tradition and culture which enjoys a close interaction with the peoples of Southeast Asia, our location affords boundless research opportunities to create local knowledge with global applications. We are a University that dares to be different. We welcome researchers, teachers and students who are prepared to take on challenges and are committed to making a difference. This first edition of Origins provides a snapshot of the diversity and strengths on which we are building Vice Chancellor Professor Helen Garnett Vice Chancellor Professor the new institution. 1 Northern attraction Some of Australia’s leading academics have joined Charles Darwin University, strengthening the organisation’s role as a leading research and education provider in specialist areas.

It is an annual forum for ideas relating to the creation and performance of Australian music. In the spirit of the great Australian composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks, an outstanding advocate of Australian music delivers the address each year, challenging the status quo and raising issues of importance in new music. In 2012, Michael Kieran Harvey was guest speaker presenting his Address entitled What Would Peggy Do? at the Sydney Conservatorium on 22 October and BMW Edge Fed Square in Melbourne on 2 November 2012.

  • Fence Above the Sea Brigitte Byrd
    Florida State University Libraries Electronic Theses, Treatises and Dissertations The Graduate School 2003 Fence Above the Sea Brigitte Byrd Follow this and additional works at the FSU Digital Library. For more information, please contact [email protected] FENCE ABOVE THE SEA Name: Brigitte Byrd Department: English Major Professor: David Kirby Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Term Degree Awarded: Summer, 2003 “Fence above the Sea” is a collection of prose poems written in sequences. Writing in the line of Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, and Lynn Hejinian, I experiment with language and challenge its convention. While Dickinson writes about “the landscape of the soul,” I write about the landscape of the mind. While she appropriates and juxtaposes words in a strange fashion, I juxtapose fragments of sentences in a strange fashion. While she uses dashes to display silence, I discard punctuation, which is disruptive and limits the reader to a set reading of the sentence. Except for the period. Stein’s writing is the epitome of Schklovsky’s concept of ostranenie (defamiliarization). Like her poems in Tender Buttons, my poems present a multiplied perspective. On the moment. Like Stein, I write dialogical poems where there is a dialogue among words and between words and their meanings. Also, I expect a dialogue between words and readers, author and readers, text and readers. My prose poems focus on sentences “with a balance of their own. the balance of space completely not filled but created by something moving as moving is not as moving should be” (Stein, “Poetry and Grammar”). Repetitions are essential in everyday life, to the thought process, and thus in this collection.

  • Abc Music Wins Three Awards at the 2020 Aria Awards Abc Music Lifetime Award Wins Now at 188
    THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ABC MUSIC WINS THREE AWARDS AT THE 2020 ARIA AWARDS ABC MUSIC LIFETIME AWARD WINS NOW AT 188 Following the 2020 ARIA Awards last night, ABC Music has collected three awards across the Best Children’s Album, Best World Music Album & Best Classical Album categories. The awards were won by Teeny Tiny Stevies ‘Thoughtful Songs for Little People’ (Best Children’s Album), Joseph Tawadros ‘Live at the Sydney Opera House’ (Best World Music Album) and Richard Tognetti & Erin Helyard ‘Beethoven & Mozart Violin Sonatas’ (Best Classical Album). Last night’s event saw Teeny Tiny Stevies win their first-ever ARIA Award. “We’ve been working musicians for so long now, this nod from the industry is definitely a proud moment. If I’m lucky I’ll get a few high fives from other parents at school drop off today,” said Byll Stephen, half of the sister duo. The night marked the fifth ARIA win for Tawadros and Tognetti. “It’s been a hard year for musicians everywhere - like me, most have had no live shows and it’s devastating. This recognition of my music is extra special, especially as it’s a live concert recording with a lively audience. I want to thank everyone who was involved in making it happen. It’s some much-needed light in a very challenging year,” said Joseph. On winning Best Classical Album with Richard Tognetti, Erin Helyard said, “Richard & I are old mates and are delighted to have won. We wanted to present a kind of history of the evolution of the eighteenth-century violin sonata, and the city of Vienna.

My name is Anthony Brown, and with Ken Kimery we are conducting the Smithsonian National Endowment for the Arts Oral History Program interview with Mr. Benny Golson, arranger, composer, elder statesman, tenor saxophonist. I should say probably the sterling example of integrity. How else can I preface my remarks about one of my heroes in this music, Benny Golson, in his house in Los Angeles? Good afternoon, Mr. Benny Golson. How are you today? Golson: Good afternoon. Brown: We’d like to start – this is the oral history interview that we will attempt to capture your life and music. As an oral history, we’re going to begin from the very beginning. So if you could start by telling us your first – your full name (given at birth), your birthplace, and birthdate. Golson: My full name is Benny Golson, Jr. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The year is 1929. Brown: Did you want to give the exact date? Golson: January 25th. For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 2 Brown: That date has been – I’ve seen several different references.

    PAUL GRABOWSKY: ON AN UPWARD PATH by Adrian Jackson* ______________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the November, 1991 edition of the APRA Magazine.] he last time I interviewed Paul Grabowsky for APRA (December 1988), he was a talent on the way up. He was already being hailed (in the jazz world, at least) T as one of Australia's most talented pianists and composers, for work with his own groups in Melbourne; with the quartet, Wizards Of Oz; and with the Australian Jazz Orchestra. And he had begun to establish a reputation as one of our most prolific composers for film and television. Paul Grabowsky: hailed (in the jazz world, at least) as one of Australia's most talented pianists and composers…PHOTO CREDIT ANDY LIGUZ _______________________________________________________ *In 1991 when this was written Adrian Jackson had been writing on jazz for The Age in Melbourne since 1978. 1 Since then, Grabowsky's career has continued on an upward path. He has released two recordings (6 x 3 on Spiral Scratch, which won the 1989 ARIA award for Best Jazz Recording; and The Moon And You on Warners, which has achieved very healthy sales for a hard-core jazz product). He has written several more soundtracks, and has more in the pipeline. And then there has been his work on television. Due to an association that stretches back to the Melbourne University comedy revue (Grabowsky was studying music at the Conservatorium, when Steve Vizard was doing law), Grabowsky landed the job of writing music for the successful Seven network comedy series Fast Forward.
