Hey, we don't often get to blog. But, when we do, we like to take it all the way, over the edge, pull it back just a touch to ensure we don't go too far, and bring you all you don't wanna know about what's going on! By the way, that was a joke.
To kick this blog off, the Australian Youth Music Council (AYMC) website is finally up and running. Yay! And its actually a great site- easy to use, great content, etc etc. Here's something we found that we thought at least one person might find interesting.
Young people in jazz radio initiative
Eastside Fm in Sydney have an interesting initiative to get more young people in the driver’s seat as presenters and producers of jazz radio programs. It is led by a group of volunteer broadcasters from the station that have seen a need for more young people to engage with the music and the medium of radio. They are looking for high school students and young adults with an interest in this music to become involved.
This is specific to the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, but it might inform people wanting to do similar things (for any genre of music) around the country, particular in community radio. Check out the full news story
here.
Things to do on Saturday
Moreover, this Saturday is jam packed full of things to see, hear and do. If you're into experimental sounds and music, there's a fantastic live performance of experimental and exploratory sounds, across all genres.
High Reflections, is a series, and this weekend's edition will be the ninth in the series. Performances will begin from
8PM-11PM with artists:
Hell Spirits, The Singing Skies, and
Emily McDaniel. There could be a small fee involved- $7 is the figure I'm being told about, but I couldn't for the life of me find out any more than that.
If you happen to be in or near Alexandria at around lunchtime on Saturday- why not head over the Studio 301 for FBi's Music Open Day. There'll be a bunch of special industry guests who will be able to give you advice on your music. There will also be a free BBQ, and for those who are of legal drinking age, that is to say- aged 18 or over- there will be some alcholic refreshments provided too. PLUS, open day alumni GUINEAFOWL will give a live performance. Wow, what a fantastic day this will be. And hey, Indent and MusicNSW will be there. So if you wanna meet and greet with us, or have any burning questions for us, rock up and say HI!
For now, that is all.
