  • Twang and Trauma in Australian Indige- Nous Popular Music
    Politik Nummer 1 | Årgang 23 | 2020 Of country and country: Twang and trauma in Australian Indige- nous popular music Simon Philpott, Reader in Postcolonial Politics and Popular Culture, School of Geogra- phy, Politics and Sociology, University of Newcastle Over the last half century, as part of a wider struggle for recognition, respect, reconcili- ation and justice, Indigenous Australians and others supporting their claims have in- creasingly been heard in popular music. Indigenous musicians are increasingly insistent that white Australia must change. By the time Jimmy Little released his much loved song, ‘Royal Telephone’, in 1963, he had long been Australia’s most prominent Indigenous recording artist. His music was out of the US gospel tradition via Nat King Cole and Jim Reeves. The “royal telephone” of the song describes the direct line between believer and god. With one exception, Little was silent in his music on the plight of Indigenous Australians although his earliest years were spent on a reservation that a large number of people eventually walked ofF, so poor were the living conditions. Little was a rare Indigenous presence in Australian music, respected For his individual talent and probably liked because his work did not raise un- comFortable questions about the past. Liking and respecting individual Indigenous people while disliking and rejecting their culture is something white Australians have successFully psychologically negotiated For decades. For example, Christine Anu’s (1995) cover of ‘My Island Home’ (1987), which celebrates Anu’s love of her Torres Strait island home and was a major hit in the year of its release, Featured as one of the songs in the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics, and now has well over 1 million views on Youtube.

  • First Kangaroos Music Credits
    Music by William Motzing Music in the film: Music only appears a couple of times within the film, as opposed to underscore. In one scene pianist bashes out a tune, under a flag that looks suspiciously anachronistic: In another scene, the team indulges in a chant/war cry on the field. See this site’s ‘about the film’ section for the chant and translation: In the final scene, the Kangaroos walk down a dark city street singing a team song about winning a few: Composer William Motzing: Composer William Motzing has had a diverse musical career, having come to Australia in 1971 with Blood, Sweat and Tears. Working on Phil Noyce’s hit Newsfront was a major step for Motzing. He had been involved in arranging records, bands, and worked on about a hundred LPs, but wanted to get involved in film music. Phillip Noyce had heard an original orchestral piece used on on a Jon English rock and roll album. It opened one of the songs and it impressed Noyce. He invited Motzing to dinner, discussed music and what the film needed, and Motzing got the gig. The film offered the chance to do a pastiche of newsreel music, but more importantly Motzing wanted to tie the underscore together musically and use it as a way of reflecting the main character Len, and his upright nature. He also wanted to be able to use it to express aspects of the company Len worked for, the man and his employer and what he did, so he designed a core theme which would be adaptable to various situations.

  • Healing Stone the Best of Yothu Yindi
    HEALING STONE THE BEST OF YOTHU YINDI HISTORY is one thing. Mandawuy Yunupingu has been living it since his father signed a bark petition to the Australian Parliament in 1963 demanding recognition of the Yolngu people. As an educator, storyteller, cultural ambassador, 1992 Australian of the Year, and founder and chairman of the Yothu Yindi Foundation and the Garma Festival of Traditional Culture, his immense historic legacy is all but carved in stone. MUSIC is something else. It carries stories of time immemorial, the raw emotions of here and now and messages of hope and change for an eternal future. Songs are forever in the moment. Always with the gift of remembering, always with the power to heal. "HEALING STONE" is the first new song by Yothu Yindi in 12 years. Co-written by Mandawuy and INXS tunesmith Andrew Farriss, it’s as culturally urgent, profoundly personal and ultimately universal as any song in the world-renowned Arnhem Land band's 27-year history. "'HEALING STONE' is a song about disease and prevention. And it is a message – a simple message to the whole community that kidney disease is a massive problem in Aboriginal communities across Australia and that understanding and action is needed to fix it,” Mandawuy says. "I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease four years ago, and I just hope that this song, and telling my story, helps build that understanding and action – action to improve prevention and treatment of this dietary affliction and help create a better future for my people." The stunning video for "HEALING STONE" pulls no punches.

It’s not a complete list of course – there’s always more happening than we know about. But, here we hope you will find inspiration, a way to be connected, and info to share with others. We aim to be as inclusive as possible. We are in awe of these gatherings, conferences, music, tourism, storytelling, school holiday fun, arts and markets… arranged by what’s on each month particularly in the Sydney area but also nationally. We aim to create you a similar calendar for July-Dec 2019; the end of the year always treats us to many excellent events. Just a note about conferences – they’re the meeting dates rather than when Abstracts are due, and at the end of our calendar we’ve added a few that involve Indigenous people but are not by Indigenous people as such. In the spirit of spreading the word about the strengths of Australia’s First Peoples - enjoy! 1 January 2019 Always Part of Sydney Festival 9 January to 27 January 2019 Barangaroo Headland, Sydney NSW Check out the large outdoor sculpture at Barangaroo headland by local Bangarra artist-in-residence Jacob Nash.

  • The Soundtracks of Australian Transcultural Cinema: Re-Sounding the Past
    The soundtracks of Australian transcultural cinema: re-sounding the past Anne Barnes A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Media University of New South Wales Australia 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Barnes First name: Annette Other name/s: Louise Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Arts and Media Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: The soundtracks of Australian transcultural cinema: re-sounding the past Abstract This thesis addresses a gap in current scholarship on Australian cinema by highlighting the role of the soundtrack in what I call an Australian transcultural cinema. I argue that the iconic sounds belonging to the national cinema from the 1970s and 1980s are variously repositioned, silenced and manipulated in the more recent transcultural cinema in ways that critically re-sound Australia’s history. I develop three concepts – the sonic fetish, sonic artefact and sonic spectre – that codify and help explain why sounds hold certain meaning and are stored in bodily ways and in memory. Providing a method for listening to the soundtracks of transcultural cinema, I argue that soundtracks need to be broken down and listened to as sound events and that silence should be recognised for the powerful role it plays in a film soundtrack. By examining the development of the film sound industry in Australia, I highlight the reasons why the soundtrack is an integral element in recent Australian films. My argument is supported by interview material from interviews I conducted with some of Australia’s most respected filmmakers, sound professionals, educators and industry personnel for this project.
