This article calls for a recognition of women’s roles in contributing to the Perth popular music scene during the 1980s and 1990s. The research thus functions as a balance to the already established literature which explores Perth popular music around this period more broadly. The research herein indicates a surge in women’s musicianship following on from the relatively low levels of women’s participation in the late 1960s to early 1970s. It has also been noted in popular music studies literature that women in music are generally written out of dominant narratives. Thus, this research functions to redress some of those gaps. Through a mixed-methods approach comprising semi-structured interviews and literature review, it is revealed that women faced unique challenges for inaugurating community and securing careers in the Perth industry during the 1980s and 1990s. The greatest surge in participation occurs the mid- to late 1990s.

This article explores how Pacific artists’ notions of cultural authenticity, identity and perceived audience expectation play out in the composition of new transcultural music (i.e. music displaying an amalgamation of both traditional Pacific and contemporary popular music influences). It is grounded in ethnographic fieldwork undertaken in Sydney, Australia over a period of two years. Its central aim is to balance a field of inquiry in which transcultural Pacific music is frequently interpreted as an expression of identity via retrospective musical analysis and reflection. In contrast to these prevailing trends, this article builds a case for real-time investigation into how artists engage and negotiate ideas about cultural authenticity, identity and perceived audience expectation when generating new transcultural works.

In this article I examine Melbourne’s Fast Forward cassette magazine (1980–1982), in order to develop a new theoretical analysis on the significance of cassette tape technology with regard to ‘do-it-yourself’ (‘DIY’) music cultures and neoliberal consumption. Fast Forward was a magazine in the form of a cassette tape, the brainchild of Melbourne music enthusiasts Bruce Milne, Andrew Maine and Michael Trudgeon. It featured new music, audio interviews as well as discussion somewhat like a recorded radio programme. The magazine was a significant proponent of the decentralized, international ‘cassette culture’ that developed in independent music during the 1980s. Recent literature regarding the digital economy considers how rather than mass producing and selling cultural content such as records, major entertainment companies today increasingly sell access to platforms through which content is shared, via subscription or through advertising. I argue that cassette culture offered an early pre-digital instance of this new paradigm shift of consumption, with Melbourne’s Fast Forward cassette magazine being a globally influential proponent of this new attitude towards music media’s participatory potential.

In this Riff article, Gene Shill speaks to Australian musician Ben Grayson, the founding member of The Bamboos and internationally acclaimed session keyboardist and electronic music producer. The conversation covers crate digging, sampling, ownership, authorship, musicianship, approaches to creating electronic music and how the affordances of technology assist the creative process.

Several high-profile examples of adverse outcomes from medications used in the perioperative setting are well known (e.g., malignant hyperthermia, prolonged apnea, respiratory depression, inadequate analgesia), leading to an increased understanding of genetic susceptibilities underlying these risks. Pharmacogenomic information is increasingly being utilized in certain areas of medicine. Despite this, routine preoperative genetic screening to inform medication risk is not yet standard practice. In this review, we assess the current readiness of pharmacogenomic information for clinical consideration for several common perioperative medications, including description of key pharmacogenes, pharmacokinetic implications and potential clinical outcomes. The goal is to highlight medications for which emerging or considerable pharmacogenomic information exists and identify areas for future potential research.
