Music and culture project

The project aims to explore the intersection of music and culture by focusing on the dynamic relationship between popular music and its social and cultural significance. It seeks to highlight how music reflects the times and places in which it is created, offering audiences something they can relate to.

Music and culture project

Core question

Ideas about popular music

Culturally significant
Artists which are reflective of the time and place
Music which audiences relate to
Current and of the time
Contemporary

Social and cultural value

Who? Up and coming, already successful, indigenous groups

Successes from Newcastle: Silverchair, Charlie from hi-5 (maybe important to draw in very young generations)

Up and coming: Mojo Juju... other artists featured on Triple J's unearthed from Newcastle, Bye Bye Birdie, Errol J.M and the trade secrets...

Conservatorium students and staff

Other established music groups

Somehow identifiying indigenous talent to be included...

Where and why

Ideas to explore social and cultural being, heritage and future:

The foreshore

Beaches

Harbour

Parks

Vineyards (perhaps too much of the hunter rather than newcastle)

One of our main cafe streets... Darby or Beaumont

Honeysuckle

Heritage of a mining town

what are we becoming? Information, education (uni, schools) a place of research, working harbour, travel, gateway to hunter... perhaps a way to promote newcastle not just as a landing pad for travel to the vineyards put a place to stop, stay and appreciate

Important landmarks: customs house, Bogey hole, king edward park, fort scratchley (convict heritage), Queens wharf

Event ideas

Scattered music events over a few weeks

Around Newcastle allowing for greater accessibility- if some can't make one event perhaps they can make another.

Appreciating different areas of the city

Allow for greater diversity and perhaps draw on different audiences?

Can offer different paid and unpaid events

Indoor and outdoor concert venues which really change the atmosphere of performance

Problems- doesnt bring a large group together as a music festival would in one day hence perhaps not achieving the social aim as much?

A music festival

Music festival-

Perhaps on Newcastle foreshore, bringing in aspects of local culture (harbour and beach, drawing on cities heritage of a coal mining town and maybe establishing new cultural links, binding the celebration of music with our natural assets of the beach and beautiful parks)

Local artists

Perhaps Indigenous

Those who have already become successful, initally from Newcastle e.g. Silverchair?
