E-ISSN 1943-4308 www.cognizantcommunication.com EVERYONE WANTS A FESTIVAL: THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S CONTEMPORARY LIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL SECTOR CHRISTINA BALLICO Queensland Conservatorium Research Center, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia This article explores the development and growth of Western Australia’s (WA) live music festival sector. Historically analyzing activity occurring between 1999 and 2009, festivals of varying scope are discussed, with a particular focus on those that heavily feature indie pop/rock music and include WA artists in their lineup. Seven legs of national touring festivals as well as WA-only and one-off events are examined, being the Big Day Out, Blackjack, Rock-It, Rollercoaster Festival, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Southbound, Wave Rock Weekender, and West Coast Blues ‘n’ Roots. These fes- tivals program local artists in one of three ways: as an opening or “support” act, as part of a local music stage or, as a “headliner.” Grounded in a discussion on the role of live music performances in the development and sustaining of musicians’ careers, the analysis presented draws predominantly from semistructured research interviews with promoters of the festivals in question. By examining the motivations behind development and growth of WA’s live music festival sector within the study’s timeframe, this article offers commentary on what this growth—and the resulting “saturation point” of the market—means for the present-day market, and critically, to the opportunities for local musi- cians to perform at these events.

    Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia Marc Brennan, BA (Hons) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre (CIRAC) Thesis Submitted for the Completion of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries), 2005 Writing to Reach You Keywords Journalism, Performance, Readerships, Music, Consumers, Frameworks, Publishing, Dialogue, Genre, Branding Consumption, Production, Internet, Customisation, Personalisation, Fragmentation Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia The music press and music journalism are rarely subjected to substantial academic investigation. Analysis of journalism often focuses on the production of news across various platforms to understand the nature of politics and public debate in the contemporary era. But it is not possible, nor is it necessary, to analyse all emerging forms of journalism in the same way for they usually serve quite different purposes. Music journalism, for example, offers consumer guidance based on the creation and maintenance of a relationship between reader and writer. By focusing on the changing aspects of this relationship, an analysis of music journalism gives us an understanding of the changing nature of media production, media texts and media readerships. Music journalism is dialogue. It is a dialogue produced within particular critical frameworks that speak to different readers of the music press in different ways. These frameworks are continually evolving and reflect the broader social trajectory in which music journalism operates. Importantly, the evolving nature of music journalism reveals much about the changing consumption of popular music. Different types of consumers respond to different types of guidance that employ a variety of critical approaches.

Thieberger (Ed.), The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Fieldwork (pp. 166-179). Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press. Postprint version, with page numbers edited to match the published version. 1 Including music and the temporal arts in language documentation Linda Barwick This chapter is intended for linguistic researchers preparing to undertake fieldwork, probably documenting one of the world’s many small or endangered languages. Recognising that linguists have their own priorities and methodologies in language documentation and description, I will advance reasons for including in your corpus the song and/or instrumental music that you are almost certain to encounter in the course of your fieldwork. I start by providing an overview of current thinking about the nature and significance of human musical capacities and the commonly encountered types, context and significance of music, especially in relation to language. Since research funding usually precludes having a musicologist tag along in the original fieldwork, I will suggest some topics for discussion that would be of interest to musicologists, and make some suggestions for what is needed on a practical level to make your recordings useful to 166 musicologists at a later date. I comment on the technical and practical requirements for a good musical documentation and how these might differ from language documentation, and also provide some suggestions on a workflow for field production of musical recordings for community use. Examples taken from my own fieldwork are intended to provide food for thought, and not to imply that music and dance traditions in other societies are necessarily structured in comparable ways.

  • Music Reading Read the Passage, the E-Mail and the Festival Guide. the Glastonbury Festival Is an Unforgettable Sight. for Three
    Music Reading Read the passage, the e-mail and the festival guide. The Glastonbury Festival is an unforgettable sight. For three days, 280 hectares of peaceful farm country in the beautiful Somerset Valley become a vast, colourful tent city. The Glastonbury Festival is Britain's largest outdoor rock concert, and it attracts crowds of more than 100,000 people. It has six separate stages for musicians to play on. It has eighteen markets where fans can buy things. It has its own daily newspaper and is even broadcast live on television. It also raises large amounts of money for several charities, including Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Glastonbury is just one of many events on the international music festival calendar each year. For dance music fans, there's Creamfields, the Essential Festival and Homelands - all in the UK. Rock fans have Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic in Japan, and the Livid Festival and the Big Day Out in Australia. And the crowds just keep getting bigger. In fact, the size of some of these festivals is causing problems. Since the deaths of nine people at Roskiide in 2000 and the death of a young woman at the 2001 Big Day Out, festival organisers and local police have been working together to make sure festival-goers stay safe. Despite these tragic events, festivals are more popular than ever. And it's not just about the music. It's about making new friends and partying non-stop for days at a time. It's about dancing till you can't stand up anymore and then crashing in someone else's tent.

It also means an opening of the way for brands that previously might have never thought about investing in a festival.

  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

  • Theory and Analysis of Melody in Balinese Gamelan
    RELATING THE PRESENT TO THE PAST THOUGHTS ON THE STUDY OF MUSICAL CHANGE AND CULTURE CHANGE IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY Bruno Nettl http://www.muspe.unibo.it/period/MA/index/number1/nettl1/ne1.htm The relationship of past to present is one of the principal issues in all human cultures. It is also perhaps the most important task of many areas of scholarship, and in different ways, of musicology and anthropology. In ethnomusicology and in anthropology, one of the principal ways of associating past to present has been through the concepts of culture change and musical change, the idea that something that a society maintains and shares can change in character or in detail and yet remain essentially the same. I would like to approach the relationship of past and present through this concept. It is an immense subject, and you will understand why I have had problems finding ways to grasp it. To deal with it properly might require that one define culture and music and then change, to say nothing of providing a bibliography. But instead, as a more modest goal, I would like to try to circumscribe the subject by mentioning and discussing a few of the issues that dominate this area of endeavor, phrasing each in terms of a widely accepted generalization and then illustrating each with something from my experience. The ultimate concern of musicology has always been the nature of musical change. The majority of musicologists, who see themselves mainly as music historians, have tried to show that there is a systematic way in which music proceeds from past to present, using, for example, the concept of periods, the significance of biography, the belief that similarity or identity must usually be explained by contact and influence.

  • Festival Statistics: Key Concepts and Current Practices
    2695 Festivals can provide substantive income and generate tourism at both local and national levels. There is growing recognition of the importance of collecting data in this field, particularly to gauge the social and economic contributions of festivals to host societies. This requires a greater understanding of how festivals can be measured and data collected in a standardised, systematic manner based on existing models and current practices. This handbook presents the theories, concepts and practices that are currently used in the effective measuring of festivals across the globe. It identifies prevailing theoretical perspectives on measuring festivals; current policy constructs concerning the collection of data on festivals; as well as best practices and processes for festival data collection and statistics based on experience from around the world. 2695 FESTIVAL STATISTICS Key concepts and current practices The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the statistical office of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and is the UN depository for internationally comparable statistics in the fields of education, science and technology, culture and communication. 2009 UNESCO FRAMEWORK FOR CULTURAL STATISTICS HANDBOOK NO. 3 2009 FRAMEWORK FOR CULTURAL STATISTICS HANDBOOK NO. 3 Festival statistics: Key concepts and current practices UNESCO The constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was adopted by 20 countries at the London Conference in November
