  • Australian Television, Music and Place
    Screen Sound n1, 2010 SOUNDING EAST OF EVERYTHING Australian Television, Music and Place Liz Giuffre Abstract East of Everything is a contemporary Australian television drama series shot on the New South Wales North Coast in and around the popular tourist destination of Byron Bay. In addition to utilising the region’s visual beauty – a cinematographic technique commonly employed in Australian drama – East of Everything has harnessed the musical culture that has developed in the area over time. The series relies on its soundtrack to create a sense of place and illuminate the program’s dramatic progression. This article will explore the use of music to ‘place’ East of Everything, examining the incorporation of pre-existing and specially commissioned material. I will show that the sonic representation of place through music has been key to the program’s success, and that place in the Australian drama is revealed sonically to be as diverse, emotive and striking as the region’s visual landscape. Keywords Television, Soundtrack, Australian music, Byron Bay, Surfing Culture Introduction Billingham (2000) argues that television drama often relies on the creation of ‘geo- ideological’ relationships to attract audiences. As part of his evaluation of various contemporary British and American television drama series, he suggests that many successful programs created a “dialectic of literal notions of place and location, transposed with their ideological marking, signing and delineation” (2000: 1). For Billingham the depiction of place was central to the success of these television texts, with the program’s target audience engaged as visuals and sound worked in “symbiotic tandem” to create an “imagined city” (2000: 119).

These films promise to surprise, provoke and push boundaries.” “We're proud to continue our partnership with Sydney Film Festival to showcase these powerful documentaries from the world's leading Indigenous filmmakers, as well as premiere the innovative work of emerging new talent from around the country,” said Penny Smallacombe, Head of Indigenous at Screen Australia. “We are very pleased to see five films commissioned by NITV take their place alongside such prestigious works from across the world,” said Tanya Orman, NITV Channel Manager. Two important Australian First Nation documentaries will also have their premieres at the Festival. Connection to Country, directed by Tyson Mowarin, about the Indigenous people of the Pilbara’s battle to preserve Australia’s 40,000-year-old cultural heritage from the ravages of mining, and filmmaker Erica Glynn’s raw, heartfelt and funny journey of adult Aboriginal students and their teachers as they discover the transformative power of reading and writing for the first time (In My Own Words).
