John Cale's Keynote Online

February 18th 2010 09:14

Watch and Listen to John Cale's Keynote Online

On February 15 underground rock royalty and founding member of the Velvet Underground, John Cale, cut the red ribbon for Modular and Sydney Festival's Circa 1979: Signal to Noise with a Keynote speech at the Seymour Centre.

Hipsters rubbed shoulders with electronic pioneers in a packed out York Theatre as Cale showed off a few snaps and described working with the likes of Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Happy Mondays, The Stooges and LCD Soundsystem before capping things off with a mind blowing rendition of "Heart Break Hotel."


If you missed the speech or want to listen/watch it again, ABC's Big Ideas are streaming it online.

ART vs SCIENCE go GOLD

February 18th 2010 08:10
Fresh from loping in at #2 and #74 on triple j's Hottest 100, Sydney's ART vs SCIENCE have recently achieved Gold status in the ARIA Charts for their the eponymous debut EP (out through Green/MGM). The Hottest 100 result also effected the re-entry of the EP into the Top 5 on iTunes and back into the ARIA Top 40. It is currently sitting at no. 1 on the physical singles chart.

Falls Lorne 2009



Released last May, the independently-released 5-track EP contains radio favourites Parlez-Vous Francais?, Hollywood, Flippers and Friend in the Field. Its performance in the charts was no doubt augmented by the three piece's scene-stealing live show, which has seen the band play at countless festivals and sold-out gigs around the country over the past 12 months.


ART vs SCIENCE have again teamed up with producer/engineer Berkfinger and are currently in the studio writing and recording their anticipated debut long-player. The album - to be released independently through Green/MGM, with label services assistance from Parallel Management - is due out in June 2010. Keep an ear out for the first single in April.

Revealed for the first time is the cover for Monkey: Journey To The West.

August 22nd 2008 05:34
Album Cover


Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett have got you covered. The Gorillaz masterminds will release the soundtrack to Monkey: Journey to the West - Albarn's circus opera collaboration with visual artist Jamie Hewlett - via XL in September.

If you’ve been looking for an opera album to wedge next to your dad's Andrea Bocelli collection on the family CD shelf, then Gorillaz masterminds Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett have got you covered.


The album, which is produced by Damon Albarn, was recorded in London and Beijing over the last twelve months and features European and Chinese musicians and singers. It draws upon the music Albarn composed and visuals Jamie Hewlett produced for the Chinese opera production of the same name.

The lyrics are based on ancient Chinese texts and performed in Mandarin. Many Australians will be familiar with the story line as it formed the basis of the legendary TV series Monkey Magic.

With Jamie Hewlett on board (the man responsible for the Gorillaz visuals), the project is sure to be both a visual and aural feast.

Monkey: Journey to the West is out August 23 through XL / Remote Control.

The group were also commissioned by the BBC to create a video animation and accompanying music which will air throughout the station’s coverage of the Beijing Olympics.

Bob Brozman Tour

August 17th 2008 02:36
Bob Brozman

The American world music legend Bob Brozman, one of the most prolific and respected musicians on the planet, returns to Australia to introduce live audiences, to not one, but two of his latest releases; Lumičre and Post Industrial Blues. Brozman, who may just be the music industry’s answer to the United Nations, is a must-see, his show is a true delight.

A remarkable musician whose wit, energy, and musical technique combine to create an unforgettable live performance, Brozman’s exhilarating shows spans the global and musical spectrum, keeping audiences enthralled; eager for more of his endearing, infectious energy. Brozman is indeed a master performer and showman.

Lumičre is the culmination of guitar virtuoso Brozman’s musical memories formed over a lifetime of travelling and playing music with other musicians around the globe. His years of absorbing influences from cultures worldwide is expressed through the establishment of the Bob Brozman Orchestra - a unique concept where Bob intricately plays each instrumental part, building layer upon layer to formulate the tremendous sound of an extensive orchestra.

He revisits the influences drawn from his many previous collaborations with artists such as Debashish Bhattacharya, René Lacaille, Djeli Moussa Diawara and Takashi Hirayasu to reflect on the profound imprint travel has had on his life. The album reflects the vast range of Brozman’s influences, adopting various instruments along the way – the kantele (ten-stringed Finnish harp), the chaturangui (twenty-two-stringed Hindustani slide guitar), the tiny Greek baglama, the ten-stringed Bolivian charango, and of course the National Guitar.

He explores the rhythms of tango, the slide-guitar sounds of Hawaii, the maloya and sega rhythms of Réunion Island, and the African rhythms learnt from his work with Malian master kora player, Djeli Moussa Diawara. In several of his compositions he pays tribute to friends and heroes, including his Hawaiian musical hero, Tau Moe. Lumičre is a musical journey; an exploration which Bob himself describes as ‘living muscle-memories that convey emotions and places; burning curiosities pursued with vigour’.

Post Industrial Blues features a passionate Brozman playing and singing at his improvisational best. Brozman brings a multitude of influences to Post Industrial Blues from India, Africa, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean, but anchors it all with the rootsy sound of blues and Americana.

His choice of additional percussion – including an array of non-traditional instruments such as a knife blade, grass clippers, disassembled marimba pipes and a broken toy piano – give the music an almost otherworldly feel at times, but Brozman brings it all back home in his own inimitable style. The album also reunites him with bassist Stan Poplin and drummer Jim Norris, both mainstays of his earliest albums from the 1980s.

Throughout Post Industrial Blues, Bob Brozman enhances the stunning instrumental performances with many original and contemporary lyrics, including songs about American geo-politics (“Follow the Money” and “Crooked Blues”), Hurricane Katrina (“Look at New Orleans”), modern travel (“Airport Blues”), immigration and war (“Three Families Blues”), and the world’s orphans (“Lonely Children”).

All demonstrate the universality of the blues as interpreted by Brozman. He also delivers his own unique take of The Doors classic, “People Are Strange,” creating a renewed spirit of the song that pays homage to its roots while redefining it through experimental instrumentation and intonation.

DAVID BRIDIE

August 17th 2008 00:23


DAVID BRIDIE CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF MAKING MUSIC
AND RELEASES FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 5 YEARS

"This is the David Bridie you know but with a bigger sound of edgy guitar, whirling keyboards and anthemic vocals alongside his trademark textures, Pacific percussion beats and lyrics of wry social observation." David Sly

"No wonder Bridie is feeling better this year. He's made what might be the best record of his career, 24 years after making his debut with Not Drowning Waving." Noel Mengel

At first inspection, Succumb is a startling departure from David's previous solo recordings. It's more lean and direct, almost abrasive for its confronting guitars and urgent rhythms. But listen closely and familiar signatures abound; lush, textural beds of intricately layered and densely overdubbed sound tapestries.

Not surprisingly, given David's deep social justice concerns, many poignant songs were written in the wake of the 2007 federal election, and some earlier lyrics were adjusted after the election result. "After 12 years under the social conservatives, I see this as a time of possibility, an opportunity to move forward rather than be overwhelmed by despair," says David. "A lot of the questions remain the same, but the beam of light shone upon them is brighter."

While deliberately political, David resists being overtly dogmatic. Rather than chanting slogans or being polemic, he voices concerns that we should all be sharing, though it’s not only political intent that piques the album. Narratives embrace themes that are inherently Australian, in both character and geography, understanding our place in the Pacific, reaching across cultures, seeking ways to stretch across the divide. And always there’s a faint reminiscing of an older Australia, of more simplistic times that shaped the country we grew up in. He says we need to look at where we’ve been to figure out where we’re going, that the old stories and images are important stuff. “It’s too easy to get wrapped up in the here and now,” he warns. “There are so many other good stories to tell.”

The upbeat, positive sound of Succumb is a consequence of the people David worked with and the energy they brought; friends he trusts and respects, none more than guitarist Phil Wales, who has been among David’s closest musical allies over many years. Many other mates dropped in and contributed: Bart Willoughby, Alan and Stephen Pigram, MFTTC cellist Helen Mountfort, Rob Craw. “I loved going to work each day. It was like this long, continuous dinner party."

And there is This Year Is Better Than Last Year – co-written with the Oils' Jim Moginie – which Bridie says reflects his personal frame of mind as well as his response to the change of federal government.

Ultimately, Succumb is the album of a working band, with dynamic contributions from PNG drummer Airi Ingram, Adelaide bass player Paul Cartwright and producer Chris Scallan adding keyboards. David is now looking forward to taking this vibrant song set on the road. “This sound straddles anything else that’s currently happening in music. And to me, that’s important.”

David Bridie will be touring Australia from October 4 including performances at the Australasian World Music Expo in November, which will showcase the region's finest indigenous, folk, roots and world music artists.

They have garnered numerous awards and accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and three MTV Video Music Awards. In addition, their 1991 album, Metallica has been awarded the prestigious "Diamond Award" from the Recording Industry Association of America, given to those albums with U.S. sales of 10 million or more.

BATTLE OF THE CHOIRS WINNER IS…

August 4th 2008 06:23
The University of Newcastle Chamber Choir
Debut album Battle Cry out now




Available exclusively through participating Australia Post outlets from today

It was state vs state, classic vs contemporary in last night's Battle of the Choirs grand final on Channel Seven. The classic ensemble The University of Newcastle Chamber Choir went head to head with contemporary youth groups Harambee and VoxSynergy, both from Melbourne.

The University of Newcastle Chamber Choir was victorious and took home $100,000 in prize money along with an album deal from Universal Music. University of Newcastle Conductor, Philip Matthias, said the Choir's journey throughout the competition was exhilarating and intense, and a great learning experience for all:

"We obviously transformed from a 'classical' choir to 'rock' choir, but there was no pretence here - it was a real transformation. Interestingly this has fed back into the Choir's classical style. They are certainly freer in approach and embody the music more - a great result.”

"With the prize money we hope to establish and sustain a complete range of choral activities through the Conservatorium for people of all ages and walks of life, including the disadvantaged. We hope to increase awareness of the enormous benefits of being in a choir, not only for the singing of course, but for social and health reasons as well.”

Their debut album Battle Cry is released today exclusively through participating Australia Post outlets. It features a collection of songs that The University of Newcastle Chamber Choir performed throughout the show. Classic tracks including Bohemian Rhapsody, Great Southern Land, Bat Out Of Hell, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Angel, Purple Haze plus many more.

Click HERE to watch The University of Newcastle Chamber Choir in studio and the making of Battle Cry.



Battle Cry is full of the songs that made you cry, the ones that made you dance and the songs that made you sing at the top of your lungs.
