  • An Interview with Megan Washington by Megan Spencer Australian Musician Magazine, November 2010
    ‘Fireflies in a jar’ - an interview with Megan Washington By Megan Spencer Australian Musician Magazine, November 2010. There are those among us whose minds work differently when it comes to storytelling. Rather than sit down and ‘tell a story’, they sit down and and ‘tell a song’. These people are ‘hardwired’ for song. When stories start spinning in their heads and hearts, poetry spills out (not prose) which, coupled with music, become ‘lyrics’. Spontaneously and simultaneously music generates from within their imaginations to accompany each word. Melody and rhythm entwine themselves around phrases, until they fuse to form verses, choruses, repeat; and then become… song. Megan Washington aka ‘Washington’ is one of these enviable ‘right-brained people’, a latter- day songstress or “chanteuse” as she is often referred to, not only in the media but by herself as well. (On Washington’s MySpace under ‘About Me’ you will find, “Chanteuse: noun (literary): a female singer, especially one who sings on the stage in a theatre or bar, where elegant people fall about in frantic and frenzied splendour.”) Since emerging onto the national stage just over 12 months ago, people have been swooning over the sound of Washington’s voice and music. But it is her songwriting that leaves its mark; strong, poetic, narrative, with a distinct emotional tone. It smacks of a discipline in advance of her 24 years and defines her presence within the Australian musical landscape. “Songwriting for me sits somewhere between therapy, memory and fantasy,” says Megan, fresh from her first stint at Splendour In The Grass, where she got to belt out songs from her just-released debut album, ‘I Believe You Liar’.

  • WORDS Emily Pero
    Artists / Dane Lovett WORDS Emily Pero Dane Lovett is worthy of a crush. An art crush is like any crush. You kind of lose it. You smile, fumble over things, maybe trip over non-existent objects while trying to get closer to the source. Dane Lovett’s work will do this to you. You want to be near it. You want to own it. Each one like a beautiful still life celebration of those piles we all have stacked round our homes – music, nature and more music – it’s perfect sound on canvas. Since graduating with a Fine Arts degree in 2004, Lovett swiftly won the Qantas Spirit of Youth Award in 2005 and a mentorship with the Museum of Contemporary Art Director Elizabeth Ann Macgregor. From here, the art prizes have ensued and expanded into his love of music, with Lovett winning an ARIA Music Award in 2006 for Best Cover Art for Eskimo Joe’s album Black Fingernails, Red Wine. Lovett’s style has evolved and changed over the last few years. A self-confessed music nerd with no specific musical talent, Lovett’s new work is filled with the things he fans out over – cassette tapes, synthesisers and CDs juxtaposed with unique interjections of plant matter. Think New Order meets pot plant paraphernalia. Think Beastie Boys, Jungle Brothers, blank burnt albums, Phil Spector, mix tapes, Roland synths, instrumental rock, old forms, new forms, visions of future sound, albums that changed the course of music all stacked high on one another with the plant life making the music feel alive.

  • LEARNING RESOURCE KIT MATON GUITARS the Maton Factory Floor
    LEARNING RESOURCE KIT MATON GUITARS The Maton factory floor. Image courtesy of Maton Guitars. MATON GUITARS - PRE-VISIT OVERVIEW Musical instruments play a very important part in rock music, and indeed all genres of music. Instrument making is an art, and the Australian guitar making company, Maton, started in 1946 by Bill May, certainly still view it this way. Maton see a guitar as an extension of the musician who owns it, they need to understand and love the guitar, and even sometimes participate in its design. Each Maton guitar is handmade from Australian wood, and they have a unique tone, much loved around the world. 3 CONTEMPLATE AND DISCOVER • “I watched it slowly become my guitar and I fell in love with it even before I played it.” This is a quote from Graham Russell from Australian band Air Supply. Talk in a group about what he may have meant, and how this feeling could have come about. • Musicians often talk about the different feelings and personalities of their instruments. Watch this video of singer/songwriter Josh Pyke talking about his Maton guitar. What do you think gives a guitar (or any other instrument) its personality? What do you think it means when a musician says their instrument has a soul? (Check out the sound of a Maton Messiah here, and the full video clip involving Josh Pyke in the Maton guitar boat here.) • Without looking at a picture of a guitar, think about the first guitar to come into your mind. What shape does it have? Guitars come in all shapes and sizes, and popular shapes have changed over the years.
