Dennis David Kahekilimamaoikalanikeha Kamakahi (b.1953-d.2014), one of the most renowned and beloved Hawaiian composers and performers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This interview was originally arranged to discuss and examine elements and characteristics of mele (Hawaiian language poetic or song compositions). Over the course of their discussion, however, we learn about the important process of knowledge transmission from his elder mentors (composers who were native speakers of Hawaiian) to Kamakahi, particularly in relation to the nineteeth century composition “Ka Manu”. Today, Hawaiian composers look to the past for knowledge, inspiration, and models from which they can create their own compositions. This interview with Kamakahi reveals insights into an otherwise undisclosed Hawaiian musical ‘past’, concerning his mentors and the central character of the mele .
在这篇Riff文章中,Keola Donaghy采访了已故的Rev. Dennis David Kahekilimamaoikalanikeha Kamakahi(生于1953年至2014年),他是20世纪末和21世纪初最著名、最受欢迎的夏威夷作曲家和表演者之一。这次采访原本是为了讨论和研究mele(夏威夷语诗歌或歌曲作品)的元素和特征。然而,在他们的讨论过程中,我们了解了他的前辈导师(以夏威夷语为母语的作曲家)向卡马卡希传授知识的重要过程,特别是与19世纪作曲“Ka Manu”有关的知识。今天,夏威夷作曲家向过去寻求知识、灵感和模式,从中创作自己的作品。这次对Kamakahi的采访揭示了他对夏威夷音乐“过去”的见解,以及他的导师和这场混战的中心人物。

This article explores the role of free editorial coverage of local contemporary music in localized print media. The discussion here centres on activity which occurs in Perth, Western Australia, with a particular focus on the coverage of indie pop/rock music in three publications. The analysis presented here draws upon semi structured research interviews undertaken with editors of Drum Media Perth, X-Press Magazine and The West Australian. As this article argues, local print music media plays a key role in the promotion of local music activity as a cohesive ‘scene’ and industry to local audiences while also making a contribution to broader national music and media culture. In turn, this article also briefly comments upon recent debates about the climate of music journalism in Australia, as well as developments in this sector, such as the uptake of digital outlets.
本文探讨了本地印刷媒体对本地当代音乐的免费编辑报道的作用。这里的讨论集中于发生在西澳大利亚州珀斯的活动,特别关注三个出版物对独立流行/摇滚音乐的报道。本文的分析基于对Drum Media Perth、X-Press Magazine和The West Australian的编辑进行的半结构化研究访谈。正如本文所论述的那样,当地的平面音乐媒体在促进当地音乐活动方面发挥着关键作用,作为当地观众的凝聚力“场景”和产业,同时也为更广泛的民族音乐和媒体文化做出了贡献。反过来,本文也简要评论了最近关于澳大利亚音乐新闻气候的辩论,以及该领域的发展,例如数字渠道的吸收。

This article will use the cultural and media materials produced around the death of Chrissy Amphlett as a way of interrogating the fact that surprisingly few resources exist that document or commemorate the contribution of women to the rock music scene in Australia. As Amphlett is unusual in being a woman who has, even before her death, claimed a place in the Australian rock canon, examining materials that are designed to construct her legacy upon her passing will provide examples of how women in Australian rock are discussed. It will be demonstrated that Amphlett's gender is central to these discussions, and that she is used to both obscure the contributions of other women performers and to deny a need for women musicians to even be an object of discussion at all. These findings will be analysed using Aleida Assmann's concepts of functional and storage memory, and it will be argued that the lack of information that we have about past female rockers makes it harder for women in Australia to see this field as one they can participate in, and also makes the retention of memories about currently successful women musicians less likely.

In this Riff article, Oli Wilson engages in a discussion with Tiki Taane, who is one of New Zealand's most successful and celebrated musicians. The interview explores and outlines the fluidity of contemporary musical representations of Māori culture and identity in Taane's music, and provides new perspectives on popular music’s capacity to express indigeneity in a New Zealand context.
