' ... I JIP 1111p .-a BMISSION DECEMBER 2018 1: Introduction Victoria makes a strong claim to the title of 'music capital of Australia' Victoria's music industry enjoys a stellar reputation, attracting and promoting local talent, and drawing participants from ·across Australia and around the world. The industry is a valued and dynamic contributor to Victoria's social, cultural and economic life. The industry is also a vital component of Victoria's creative industries. Collectively, these industries make up eight per cent of the state's economy, contributing over $28 billion and 260,000 jobs.1 Victoria celebrates music in all its forms: from a community and social perspective; and, as a key cultural and economic driver that brings together communities and provides development opportunities. Victoria has a demonstrated reputation as a centre of music, an industry worth over $2.5 billion nationally, contributing to the reputation of Victoria as a centre of culture and innovation. Victorja also recognises that music crosses all practices and industries. · The Victorian Government therefore welcomes the House Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts inquiry into Factors contributing to the growth and sustainability of the A_ustralian mu_sic industry. 2: IV1us1c Industry in Victoria The quality and depth of the Victorian _music industry is demonstrated across live musl~, musicians, festivals, the physical music market, community radio and the dance scene. 2.1 Lave ,uslc Melbourne is the live music _capital of Australia, with high and increasing attendance at live music performances and a vast array of live music venues -from international stadium tours to smaller neighbourhood gigs. Melbourne offers more live music venues than any other city: 465 live music venues (or one venue per 8,915 residents); more than New York, Paris, London, Berlin and Tokyo.2 These include iconic m uslc venues - such as The Forum, The Pala is, The Espy, The Corner Hotel, The Prince Band room, 1 Estimates prepared In 2018 by Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resourc~s based on methodology of Victoria's Creative and Cultural Economy, April 2015 by Boston Consulting Group. 2 Internal data provided by Tourism, Events and Visitor Economy Branch, Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. and Festival Hall- as well as countless small-to-medium city venues and.almost 200 live music venues in regional Victoria. Live music in Melbourne is further bolstered by a thriving 'open all hours' economy, supported by· all-night public transport options. Live music events in Melbourne increased by 19 per cent between 2012 and 2017, and 55 per cent of music venues reporte.d an increase in live music audie.nces in 2017.3 In 2016, live music generated $175.S million in revenue from 2.1 millior.i audience members.4 Melbourne hosts more than 62,000 live music concerts annually, worth more than $250 million in ticket sales alone, and has three times more live music performances than the national average.5 Victoria also supports a thriving contemporary, classical and Jazz music scene. Cultural institutions, such as Arts Centre Melbourne, Melbourne Recital Centre and the Geelong Performing Arts Centre s_upport strong and diverse music programming: between them, these institutions drew audiences of more than three million people in 2016-17.6 Melbourne is home to the Melbourne Symph(?ny Orchestra, Opera Australia and Orchestra Victoria. And the city hosts the high-profile Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition and Melbourne International Jazz festival. In regional Victoria, the annual Wangaratta Festival of Jazz enjoys a national reputation for outstanding jazz programming and performances. Victoria offers opportunities to develop practice and to find supportive audiences. As such, Victoria attracts music creators, of all genres, from across Australia. These creators are drawn to our grants for creation, opportunities to perform live, and our informed and engaged audiences. Victoria has produced some of the biggest contemporary music acts in the world-including The Seekers, Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Gotye, Paul Kelly, The Avalanches, The Presets, Temper Trap, Courtney Barnett, Tash Sultana and, among many others, Vance Joy. Young musicians are the lifeblood of the industry and flock to Melbourne for the opportunities offered across the industry. Young musicians are nurtured through programs such as FFReeZA, a mentoring initiative that provides opportunities to participate in the planning, development and delivery of music and cultural events for young people in local communities. First established in 1997, the FReeZA program reflects the importance the government places on providing young people with practical opportunities to participate in the planning, development and delivery of music and cultural events for young people, in their local community. Sixty-three per cent of FReeZA events staged in 2017 included live music; the majority were staged in regional Victoria, 3 http$:/'www.~wc.com.aii11ndustry/entertainment-and-:medh1-trends-analy~ outlook/music.html#snapshot 4 http://reports.1 lveperforma nee.corn .a u/tlcket-survey-2016/states#vlc-results 5 Music Victoria and the City of Melbourne, Victorian Live Music Census 2012 6 https://creatlve.vic.gov.au/research/data/performing-arts with 97,915 young people attending regional events and 65,276 young people attending events in Melbourne.7 · Even the humble art of busking- a vital means by which young ~usiclans test and hone their craft - is welcome and supported on the city streets of Melbou.rne. 2.3 Music-basea t-est1va1s Music was a significant component (64 per cent) of the more than 430 festivals held throughout Victoria between 2015 and 2017. Events such as Melbourne Music Week, St Kilda Music Festival, the Port Fairy Music Festival and the leaps and Bounds Festival were among the estimated 350, year-round, statewide festivals that feature live music. Music-based festivals drive regional development and visitation. They help develop audiences and are a vital source of Income for performers. Music-based festivals should therefore be considered an important component of regional development and visitation strategies. 2.4 Community Rad o Victoria is home to Triple R (3RRR 102.7FM), PBS 106.7FM, SYN and 3CR-the highest community broadcasting membership per capita in Australia. The Music Victoria 2017 Melbourne Live Music Census indicated that more music fans in Melbourne Hsten to community and public radio stations (Triple RRR and PBS FM) than any other commercial station. This may well be a world-leading example of the local appetite for independen.t music. Further, quotas on Australian music are often exceeded on community broadcasters. 3: The Value of the Victorian Music Industry 3.1 Economic The music industry makes a significant employment and value-added contribution to the Victorian economy. More than 15,000 Victorians were employed in 2015 as performing artists, n:iusic composers or performing arts support workers.8 The portion of Australian consumer spend predicted to be spent on the music industry in 2022 is 6.4 per cent9. Research by the national live Music Office found that live music spending in Australia delivers at 10 least a 3:1 benefit-to-cost ratio • The economic contribution of live music in 2011 was estin,ated at $501 million; it created 17,200 jobs in small music venues alone (Deliotte). :$.~ Cultural 7 Data provided by the Office for Youth, Department of Health and Human Services 8 https:// creative. vic.gov.au: research/data tperfo rm ing-arts 9 h~1s_;// www.11wc.c0m.au/industi 1,entertainment-and-medla-trends-anal,sis/outloolf,/muslc.html#sna;shot 10 http://livemusicoffice.com.auLwo-content/uQloadsJ2015/08/LiveMusic-re1,ort-FINAL.r

Such new landscapes will be characterized by strong and long-lasting disequilibria, especially concerning slope stability, sediment cascades or eco-systems. One important factor thereby is the strongly different response time of cryosphere components: snow = almost immediate, mountain glaciers = years to decades, mountain permafrost =decades to centuries to even millennia. As an example, in many mountain chains, permafrost inside high peaks will probably continue to exist (far out of thermal equilibrium) when glaciers will have already long disappeared.

The result, as referred to in Patrick’s report, was a significant investment from Creative Victoria who readily understand the central importance of safeguarding live music.

Whilst this meant a hit to our budget, the Board took the view that offering a connection, a sense of belonging and support to the industry was of paramount importance.
  • 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

    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.

Abstract Recent research into the Australian community broadcasting sector has revealed a developing role for community radio, in particular, in reviving notions of democracy by enhancing public sphere engagement by audiences. This paper is drawn from the first national qualitative audience study of the sector undertaken by the authors and provides strong evidence to suggest listeners are challenging globalised views of the world. They see community radio as ‘theirs’ and the only media able to accurately reflect Australia’s cultural diversity. This is enabling a revival of public sphere activity in the face of restrictions on democracy following an upsurge in global terrorism. We argue that the community broadcasting sector in Australia is providing citizens with services largely ignored by commercial media and to some extent, the publicly-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation Introduction It’s for us, about us (Focus Group, Roxby Downs ROX FM, 2005).

    Automatic Recognition of Samples in Musical Audio

    Automatic Recognition of Samples in Musical Audio Jan Van Balen MASTER THESIS UPF / 2011 Master in Sound and Music Computing. Supervisors: PhD Joan Serr`a,MSc. Martin Haro Department of Information and Communication Technologies Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona Acknowledgement I wish to thank my supervisors Joan Serr`aand Martin Haro for their priceless guidance, time and expertise. I would also like to thank Perfecto Herrera for his very helpful feedback, my family and classmates for their support and insightful remarks, and the many friends who were there to provide me with an excessive collection of sampled music. Finally I would like to thank Xavier Serra and the Music Technology Group for making all this possible by accepting me to the master. Abstract Sampling can be described as the reuse of a fragment of another artist's recording in a new musical work. This project aims at developing an algorithm that, given a database of candidate recordings, can detect samples of these in a given query. The problem of sample identification as a music information retrieval task has not been addressed before, it is therefore first defined and situated in the broader context of sampling as a musical phenomenon. The most relevant research to date is brought together and critically reviewed in terms of the requirements that a sample recognition system must meet. The assembly of a ground truth database for evaluation was also part of the work and restricted to hip hop songs, the first and most famous genre to be built on samples. Techniques from audio fingerprinting, remix recognition and cover detection, amongst other research, were used to build a number of systems investigating different strategies for sample recognition.
