Flip Grater 2011 EUROPEAN TOUR MARCH-APRIL FLIP GRATER 2011 Flip has delivered an album with a rare sensitivity .There are echoes in the delivery of the finest French singers a la Françoise Hardy and Carla Bruni- except Flip is singing in English. A beautiful rare gem. Roger Marbeck A beautifully crafted album by a songwriter who has honed her craft, presenting us with a album of substance, raw fragility and strength. This is her best work yet. – Jan Hellriegel “When you listen to Flip Grater you can’t help but fall in love with her a little bit. Her latest album is languid, smooth and delicious.” – Samantha Hayes, 3news The best art comes from suffering, so returning from Sweden in her twenties with a broken heart, music was her antidote. With over seven years of creating a sound Flip Grater is renowned for, the release of an EP, three critically acclaimed albums (2006's Cage For A Song, 2008's Be All And End All and 2010’s While I’m Awake I’m At War, a published book and a tour history that takes her meandering through 11 or so countries, Flip is seasoned. In 2006 her track Long Awaited Sigh turned heads across the folk and alt-country scene, with a track from it selected by producers of the hit US TV show Brothers and Sisters. This was followed by two trips to SXSW festival in Austin, TX with a showcase line-up including Luke Zimmerman and Kris Kristoffeson. Flip’s latest release While I’m Awake I’m At War has had NZ media calling her “the brunette¨ Stevie Nicks due to songs such as the single 'Careful', a meandering alt country ditty with a Fleetwood Mac feel. In 2010, the Christchurch-born musician is releasing her third album, which features some friends you may know. Goldenhorse, Goodshirt and LA Mitchell to mention a few. September and October of 2010 saw Flip and her band (featuring Geoff Maddock, Dianne Swann, Chris O’Connor and Andrew Keoghan) on a sold-out 9-date tour of New Zealand followed by an 13- date solo tour of France, Italy and UK including 2 showcases at the MAMA industry Festival in Paris. In 2007 Flip released The Cookbook Tour – a performance/travel journal and recipe book that sparkled with humour, tales of the road and wondrous recipes she had acquired on her journeys. The follow-up book based on touring through 7 countries in Europe will be published by Bateman Publishing in May 2011.

New Zealand indie-folk singer-songwriter Flip Grater gets it all right on her third studio album. Produced with a sympathetic ear by fellow songwriter Tim Guy and employing the tasteful services of guitarist Geoff Maddock (Goldenhorse, Anika Moa), keyboardist LA Mitchell, and others, While I'm Awake I'm At War breaks no new ground, instead relying on a combination of compositional ability and refined performances to deliver its killer blows, be it the French-influenced lilt of Careful and Golden Trinket or the film noir strains of I Am Gone. For those who like: Suzanne Vega¨ Shane Gilchrist Groove Guide ¨The bleak title of New Zealand songwriter Flip Grater’s new album hints at strife within. While the PRESS REVIEWS overriding tone of the music is quiet and understated, painted with the artful flourishes of an experienced ensemble of well known musos, the lyrics held in this sugar coating are thoughtful, often barbed or touched with tragedy. Not all is gloomy; the chirpy ‘Careful’ briefly throws away the darker mood in favour of a Stevie Nicks-style vocal brushed with mandolin. The quaint ‘Golden Trinket’ channels latter-day Bic Runga, before the down-tempo mood is restored in the beautiful ‘I Am Gone’ – where Cat Power melancholy interlaces sensuously with Geoff Madoock’s slide guitar. Comparisons and genres- yes this is a little alt country and a bit folk – don’t do justice to Grater’s album which stands on it’s own merits. Reflective listening – recommended. – Steve Elliot New Idea : This is the third studio album from one of New Zealand’s lesser-known musical talents, Flip Grater. Filled with beautiful indie hits and soft ballads, it’s an album that’s as catchy as it is delightful. A true sign of New Zealand’s burgeoning melodic prowess. Rip It Up : As Flip Grater’s third long-player is pushed into the CD player, suddenly – amongst the hustle and bustle of the city – there is a roaring calm. Flip has a lovely, smooth voice that is delivered delicately, but doesn’t sound fragile – although some of the subject matter can be. She tells her story well, with well phrased, thought provoking lyrics, and she sings particularly deeply, at a register that sounds natural for her voice and gives a pleasantly relaxed, warm tone. The production is slick and the arrangements are extremely well constructed, with beautiful layers of strings and choirs atop tenderly plucked guitars. This album is spacious. While being acoustic-folk, it does hint at a few country rhythms in Golden Trinket and Be Kind, and there is also a pop element with the track Careful, which is one of only a few tracks to have drums, making it seem more upbeat than the acoustic tunes. Flip is a talented songwriter who is definitely worth checking out. – Fleur Jack The Dominion Post : You would assume from the cover shot that Flip Grater is going for a Feist- meets-Cat Power look. Well, the music is certainly hushed and ever so slightly folk- derived, but I would not be calling it Cat Power-esque. It is rather lovely, though. It took me a few listens for it to sink in properly. The first few songs sound a little too similar back-to-back. In fact, the first half-dozen songs push the delicate- girl-with-guitar finger-picking angle again and again. Then it opens up - country groove and a lilting country-ballad feeling. It is so easy to be compared to Anika Moa and Bic Runga here. I don't envy Kiwi female singer-songwriters. It's as if we gave up trying to classify and categorise them once Moa and Runga made more than one album. Three out of five star. – Simon Sweetman. Next Magazine – September 2010 : This Kiwi singer-songwriter caused a certain stir a few years ago with her cookbook tour. This time around her music should be enough to grab your attention. Flip and producer Tim Guy have created a beautifully crafted album with lush strings underscoring Flip’s lovely voice. With Geoff Maddock of Goldenhorse helping out, this could be among the year’s top local releases. www.myspace.com/flipgrater - facebook.com/flipgratermusic -playlive Elsewhere New Zealand singer-songwriter Flip Grater has a rare distinction at Elsewhere: she's the only artist so far who has previously had music posted (here) as well as recipe (here) which she picked up on the road for her cookbook.This beautifully arranged album, produced by Tim Guy, delivers through understatement as Grater's vocals are soft, almost hinting at the style of introspective French pop singers, and gorgeously melodic in a deliberately narrow and intimate range. There are pop elements (the gently chiming Careful with its chorus which PRESS REVIEWS seduces rather than hooks), hints of alt.country (Be Kind with a veritable Kiwi folk-rock supergroup) and the Pacific (Geoff Maddock's slide guitar in the delightful I Am Alone), and soft Donovan/Buffy Sainte-Marie-like Sixties folk. Grater delivers a poetic lyric too -- but, and here is the rub, in one song after another every song is from the first person perspective: "I" -- and then the inevitable "you" -- populate all these lyrics and the self-centredness becomes rather cloying over 11 songs. Grater posits herself as a fragile creature ("Be careful how you lay your hands on me, I may not be as tough as you think"), one who has lost the passion (I am Gone) or is living in the sad movie of life (Bullet That I Ride) . It is in the nature of Sensitive Singer-Songwriters (a genre unto itself) that the all-encompassing "I" should be seeing the world, but Grater never steps beyond that position to invite the listener in to a wider world than her own. That said, the gentle and well-crafted songs, plus those discreet and discrete arrangements, make this a real step up for Grater -- with the caveat that this is her world and you might only ever feel like a visitor. – Graham Reid Bandana Club – Diatribe Blog With a distinctively smooth coffee-and-cream voice that is reminiscent of both Stevie Nicks' vocal performance in Fleetwood Mac's Dreams and Wire Daisies vocalist Treana Morris, Flip Grater has created a masterpiece of Indie subtlety in her new album While I'm Awake I'm At War. Every aspect of the album speaks of craft; simple, clear guitar licks and a softly-played violin which carries the listener down a dark river. Minimal bass lines and a muted rhythm give the album a soft-spoken, melancholy sound that makes the heart ache and the mind reminisce and remember. The lyrics are intelligent, thought-provoking and meaningful. It has a little bit of a country feel, but not of checkered-scarf-and-square-dancing ilk; instead it's a more folk-like sound, which evokes images of windy Celtic landscapes and salty driftwood scattered over a long stretch of lonely, wind-swept beaches.

Essential criteria for maximising the play list potential of New Zealand music on commercial radio: A Programme Directors' perspective A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies at Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Karen Neill 2000 'Station and programme directors act as gatekeepers, being responsible for ensuring a prescribed and identifiable sound or format, based on what the management of the station believes will generate the largest audience - and ratings - and consequent advertising revenue. The ... prograrnme director ... will regularly sift through new releases, selecting three or four to add to the playlist. The criteria underpinning this process will normally be a combination of the reputation of the artist; a record's previous performance, if already released overseas; whether the song fits the station's format; and, at times, the gut intuition of those making the decision. In the case of the first of these factors, reputation and previous track record, publicity material from the label/artist/distributor plays an important role, jogging memories or sparking interest in a previously unknown artist' (Shuker, 1998, p. 242). Abstract For years the commercial radio industry in New Zealand has fought against regulation oflocal music on the airwaves, citing that in the competitive radio environment (a product of governmental deregulation of the industry) it would be detrimental to both their business and the present levels oflocal content being achieved voluntarily by radio.

    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 'The Glue of the World': Popular music in film soundtracks. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts m Media Studies at Massey University, Palmerston North New Zealand. Lauren Anderson 1999 Abstract. Popular music has a strong presence in many contemporary films, frequently replacing, or displacing, the 'classical' soundtrack. The question arises of whether a popular music soundtrack achieves similar functions to traditional, 'classical' film music. Investigating this question is the primary aim of this thesis. An outline of film music theory is followed by an overview of how meaning is produced in popular music. These two areas of discussion are then brought together in the neoformalist analyses of the textual relations between the popular music soundtrack and the narrative, characterisation, and themes of three contemporary films: Sliding Doors (1997, Peter Howitt), Empire Records (1995, Allan Moyle), and Topless Women Talk About Their Lives (1997, Harry Sinclair). The uses and functions of the music in these soundtracks are then compared to the conventions of 'classical' Hollywood film music. This thesis will show that the popular songs in the soundtracks of the three films generally fulfil one or more of six functions which are usually performed by 'classical' Hollywood film music. There are some important differences, however, as the songs frequently draw on features which are specific to popular music.

A MUSICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NATURE’S BEST A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at The University of Waikato by NICHOLAS BRAAE The University of Waikato 2012 Abstract Academic research on New Zealand popular music has primarily been conducted from historical and cultural perspectives. While asking important questions, these sources have rarely engaged with the musical details of New Zealand popular music. This thesis is a musicological analysis of the 100 songs from the three Nature’s Best albums. The musical perspective complements the socio-cultural research on New Zealand popular music. The Nature’s Best project was instigated by Mike Chunn in 2001 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA). All songwriting members of APRA and 100 celebrities and critics were invited to vote for their ten favourite New Zealand popular songs.
