  • International Journal of Music Business Research, October 2013, Vol
    36 International Journal of Music Business Research, October 2013, vol. 2 no. 2 The Newcastle music industry: An ethnographic study of a regional creative system in action Phillip McIntyre and Gaye Sheather1 Abstract This paper presents detailed preliminary findings from an ethnographic study of the Newcastle NSW music industry. It argues that in the midst of seemingly continuous change primarily wrought by the advent of new global trade regimes and associat- ed digital technologies there are also fundamental continuities at work for local music industries. These continuities are evident in the idea that these industries are part of a dynamic system of choice-making agents constituted by musicians, pro- moters, media operatives, venue owners, educators, policy makers and many oth- ers. They compete and collaborate within the structures of a gift and financial economy which exists in a regional and global framework with a dynamic history that has helped shape this creative system in action. Keywords: Creative system, creativity, music industry, field, ethnography 1 Introduction Prior to the turn of the millenium "fundamental ideological changes in the global political arena led to the creation of pro-market international trade regimes" (Thussu 2000: 82). As the processes of deregulation, pri- vatization and the opening of borders to rapid flows of capital "com- bined with new digital information and communication technologies" (ibid.) the impacts these produced have been felt across all economies internationally, from advanced to less well developed ones. This certain- ly happened in Europe and America but other regions, countries and localities have been living through the continuities and changes these developments continue to bring.

  • An Interview with Iota
    PERFORMER INTERVIEW ‘Killing Jeff Buckley’: An Interview with iOTA Liz Giuffre iOTA is a unique brand of Australian popular musician. ‘Discovered’ in the mid 1990s by Triple J and promoted as Australia’s answer to Jeff Buckley, iOTA has enjoyed relative failure since the release of his first recording, The Hip Bone Connection, in 1999. However, he has continued to write and record, actively challenging his audience and himself by releasing two more full length albums and an EP. Although recorded with other musicians, all these recordings bear his name, which was legally changed to iOTA (lower case i, upper case OTA) in 1998. Despite slow record sales to date, iOTA’s live performances have become increasingly popular and he has achieved multiple sell-out shows around Australia, as well as playing solo and band-based supports to international acts as diverse as Live and The Doors. I don’t remember when I first heard of iOTA, but his name was one that I recognised from various street press and telegraph pole posters since about 2000. I finally saw him in a unique performance, supporting Tim Finn at Sydney’s Metro theatre in 2002. Audience members sat on the floor, a practice that is not unusual while musicians are preparing for a performance. However, the audience remained seated on the floor as iOTA and his band took the stage. It soon became clear that this was not a mark of apathy but respect: many in the audience felt that iOTA’s music and performance should be quietly enjoyed rather than accompanied by the usual bad dancing and constant hum of pre-headline-act chatter.

  • Creativity & Cultural Production in the Hunter
    An applied ethnographic study of Creativity & Cultural new entrepreneurial systems in the Production in the Hunter creative industries. Newcastle The University of Newcastle I April 2019, ARC Grant LP 130100348 Now AuslnilianGon ,rnment ���;�Busmess nt Ai&i1rall1.11Rtu1n:bCou11dl 6. MUSIC 6.1 Introduction This part of the report outlines the history, structure, business models, operational methods and important personnel associated with each sector. This section outlines the music industry in Australia (Cunningham & Turnbull 2014) before looking specifically at the music industry in the Hunter region. It locates the current Hunter Region music scene within Australian music history particularly in relation to the European tradition, specifically the American and British music traditions. Of note is the fact that the ongoing digital revolution continues to reshape the industry, its composition, songwriting, recording, performance and business modes. Structurally the music industry is comprised of three major and related sectors i.e. publishing, recording and live performance. There are ancillary sectors as well such as manufacturing, retail and media which are interconnected with the three major sectors. There are various business models used within these sectors. The operational methods are both formal (e.g. use of contracts, performance schedules etc.) and informal (e.g. adherence to a gift economy). Its most important personnel include songwriters, composers, musicians, managers, touring crews, venue operators, agents, promoters, producers, engineers, publishers, A&R operatives and, of course, the audience. 6.2 A Brief History of the Music Industry in Australia. The music industry in the Hunter is a local variant of a much larger national and global one (Miller & Shahriari 2012).

  • Whiter Rock: Why the Easybeats Didn't Suceed In
    Oz Rock and the ballad tradition in Australian popular music ‘While we are sitting here, singing folksongs, in our folksong clubs, the folk are somewhere else, singing something different.’ Quoted in Jeff Corfield ‘The Australian Style’1 Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and the Twilights, discussed in chapter one, were manifestations of an Australian popular music sensibility which was fundamentally European-derived, white. It was a tradition that valued melody, musical linearity and lyrical clarity. These bands, in particular Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and the Easybeats, laid the basis for the flowering of Australian rock in the 1970s and for Oz Rock groups such as Rose Tattoo, the Angels, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, and, in the 2000s, You Am I and Powderfinger among others.2 This tradition has continued to blend melody with strong guitar riffs and a big beat. Billy Thorpe’s self-penned ‘Most People I Know (Think That I’m Crazy)’, released in 1972, with its melody, driving beat and anthemic chorus combined with an emphasis on the lyrics, provided a template for Australian rock, for a tradition of bands—those Oz Rock bands that I mentioned above—whose success in Australia has, in the main, continued to be far greater than what they have achieved overseas.3 This tradition continues to privilege elements drawn from the white, European musical tradition over influences from African-American, and other Black musics. This hard rock development in Australia has another strand, the importance of the traditional ballad tradition and, along with this, the influence of American country music.
