With a current figure of 4.5m subscribers to paid services, growth potential of upwards of 90% household penetration across 10m households in Australia and New Zealand is plausible when compared to the historical uptake of TV and telephones. Facebook: a game-changing revenue stream APRA AMCOS’ landmark licensing agreement with Facebook will see Australian, New Zealand and international songwriters, composers and music publishers remunerated for the use of their music on Facebook, Instagram, Oculus, and Messenger. Whether a band releases their own music clip natively on Facebook, teases new music on Instagram, or a fan posts a video singing along to SIA, the rightsholders will potentially earn from that use. 5 LIVE MUSIC REVENUE Major international concert tours raise the profile and generate significant royalties for Australasian songwriters. Highlights from the past year include: Midnight Oil’s extensive Australasian national tour took them from Alice Springs to Auckland to Hobart to Hanging Rock and beyond, and they had 22 Aussie and Kiwi supports along the way including Something For Kate, A.B. Original, Adalita, Irrunytju Band, The Nudge and many more. Ed Sheeran had Missy Higgins as the major support on all Australian dates, and invited recent high school graduate Fergus James and Bliss N Eso along for opening slots. In NZ, Ed selected Mitch James, Six60, Drax Project, and Lost Bird.

ONE renewal date. ONE licence. ONE payment. E-commerce option. • 25 new schemes will launch, across most industry sectors. • APRA AMCOS will operate OneMusic Australia under a joint management committee of APRA AMCOS and PPCA executives. • PPCA and APRA AMCOS have agreed on how the revenue should be split - generally 50:50. • 160,000 businesses to re-license across FY 2020 plus maintain normal new business licensing. • We will collect on rights that have always been owing to us, close loop holes and over time increase our market penetration. • Business who are now unlicensed for one right or under-licensed will find it easier to regularise their coverage to ensure they are properly licensed for the music they use. • A win-win for everyone involved in the value chain. Disappointing that some sectors have taken this as an opportunity to attack the rights of creators and attempt to wind back licence fees. ONEMUSIC NEW ZEALAND • OneMusic revenue growth enabled higher APRA and Recorded Music NZ distributions to their stakeholders. • Hospitality and exercise industries remain steady - significant contributors to revenue for OneMusic New Zealand.

  • Countdown and Cult Music Television Programmes
    Giuffre, Liz Countdown and Cult Music Television Programmes Countdown and cult music television programmes: an Australian case study Liz Giuffre Abstract Music television programs, programs that focus on music for their core content, have been produced all over the world for all types of markets. However there remains little sustained work on them beyond studies of key production periods, franchise waves or biography-like narratives. This article shows that theories of Cult TV can be applied to music television programs to help explore this neglected form, as well as helping to expand Cult TV’s theoretical reach beyond its traditional fare of narrative driven, fiction series. This article offers 1970s and ‘80s Australian music television program Countdown as a prime example of Cult TV, first in the context of its initial production and consumption in 1970s and ‘80s Australia, and also in terms of its subsequent influence on contemporary audiences from a historical perspective. The Cult TV frame extends to the program itself in its original incarnation, as well as additional recontextualisations in new music television programs, and the continued work of its former host, Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum. Introduction1 Music television is an unusual type of programming. It provides both regular entertainment that is watched intensely while on air, and produces key moments that survive well in audience collective memory. ‘Live’ music performance and interview series Countdown remains an icon of the Australian television and music industries.2 Created by the national public service broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC),3 the show was broadcast from 1974 to 1987 on Sunday evenings and was highly influential with television audiences and the broader music industry.4 Countdown provided opportunities for music artists and audiences to engage with each other in a way that had not previously been possible.

  • EVENTS OUR CONSULTATION PROCESS with YOU Onemusic Australia Is Consulting with You and Would Like to Hear What You Think
    EVENTS OUR CONSULTATION PROCESS WITH YOU OneMusic Australia is consulting with you and would like to hear what you think. This paper sets out the proposed rates to apply to events and performances where music is used. It covers APRA’s existing rates for National and other Event Promoters and PPCA’s Tariffs B, E2, E4 and X and simplifies those separate licences and schemes by providing a combined approach. It is relevant for concert promoters, event and festival promoters and producers, performance spaces and those running ad hoc events from time to time that are not covered under other OneMusic licence schemes. Some OneMusic licences, such as Places of Interest, Councils, Hotels also cover events, subject to certain thresholds, and for events outside those limits, the rates here apply. You can access information about those licences here. We realise it can be confusing to have to pay music licence fees to two organisations. Starting from mid-2019, OneMusic Australia will be the one organisation for all your music licensing needs, and you’ll be able to pay for your licence online. It’s not easy to build a single licence scheme that suits everyone, so we’ve come up with a proposal which builds on previous discussions with industry and where possible applies the same metrics to the one event. We’d like you to take a look and provide us with your feedback. Live Performance Australia have prepared a summary for their members (June 2019) and you can read this here. This paper covers the proposal for licensing for the following types of events: ■■ Promoted music events and festivals (including free events); ■■ General entertainment events where music is used but not the primary focus (including free events).

  • Decolonizing Reconciliation; Refusing Settler Innocence Through Sound
    DECOLONIZING RECONCILIATION: REFUSING SETTLER INNOCENCE THROUGH SOUND by STEFANA FRATILA B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2014 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2016 © Stefana Fratila, 2016 Abstract My thesis examines the possibility for decolonization in the aftermath of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and proposes settler-shame as both generative and necessary to decolonizing and disrupting the patterns of ongoing colonial violence against Indigenous bodies. I specifically focus on how sound and performance can be used to critically engage and educate on both historical and ongoing colonial violence prevalent in settler-colonial society. I elaborate on how my own performances are an embodied form of settler-shame and put forward a sound technique I’ve called time-stretched witnessing. I draw on encounters within my own practice as an electronic artist/producer as a means of addressing the degree to which it might be possible to create space for meaningful knowledge sharing, memorialization, social transformation, and decolonization. To decolonize is to work towards a reconciliation that refuses ‘reconciliation’ as we have known it thus far, one that refuses settler innocence and encourages settler-shame, and centres Indigenous leadership, the return of land and an end to gender-based violence. ii Preface This thesis (including
