my friend john (foaf) converted a warehouse into a performance / event space called Lightspace in Brisbane. it looks so beautiful. he's done so well! http://bit.ly/4V5AeS I've always wanted to do that. am so jealous! oh the performances he's going to have there. studios upstairs too & coffee. I'd add music & book library. in fact I'd prob just move in upstairs and live there too. might be a bit noisy when the gigs are on though. anyone got a spare couple of mill? & I'd add a little private cinema / projection space - like third-ear in jerusalem http://bit.ly/6ngzGf (they're upstairs in a dvd store) but other than that it'd look like lightspace. perfect. maybe less glam as I have no $ ;) I have notebooks full of little drawings of a space and the things it'd have. one day maybe... I hope he does well with it - he deserves it. good luck! so if anyone needs a nice space for an event in Bris, let him know..

here's the blurb from the lightspace website's about page :

Lightspace is a new event, education and exhibition venue located in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Hatched from a converted warehouse its features include lofty warehouse spaces, rustic industrial chic and an outdoor terrace with views across the city skyline.

Lightspace provides the ideal blank canvas for functions, events, product launches, fashion parades, exhibitions, photo shoots, video clips, weddings, parties, anything you can imagine…

Lightspace Studios offer open–plan office space with flexible, affordable tenancies – ideally suited to small creative industry businesses. The lofty, edgy interior design provides a range of personal and communal spaces. Converted shipping containers have become the shell for the shared meeting room, bathrooms, shower and kitchen. A roof terrace delivers sweeping views of the city and Valley. Tenants have access to all facilities. If you’re in Brisbane, creative and looking for cool warehouse space then send us a message…

coverage of the 2006 SXSW festival can be found here : http://server1.sxsw.com/2006/coverage/

there are audio podcasts from some of the sessions as well as videoblog recordings

Here's a rough review of TransAcoustic Festival held in Auckland in December 2005. It is actually comprised of a couple of emails sent to the aus_noise yahoogroups mail list and the audio foundation NZ mail list, so is casual / informal in manner & language. (but I like it this way!)

I've added joel stern's review which was also posted to aus_noise. he wrote a formal piece for RealTime magazine also which is available @ http://www.realtimearts.net/rt71/stern_transacoustic.html

The TransAcoustic festival was held in Auckland 8-11th December, 2005 and combined the artistic and musical talents from performers and composers from Australia and New Zealand.

photos of the event can be found on the Documentation section of the TransAcoustic website, and also at http://www.flickr.com/photos/aliak_com/tags/transacoustic/

TransAcoustic Festival Seminar - Stella Brennan session - Stella Brennan

Documentation of events including interviews, audio, video and photos for archival purposes.

Multiple genres are included - music and more recently arts projects.

Most of the material is hosted offsite to save bandwidth.

This section is slowly being updated with documented older events - mostly photos, audio recordings and some reviews & informal interviews, and more recently video. There's also a few notes from courses and workshops I've attended. I haven't had time to transcribe some of my notes / audio interviews so I'm posting photos of my notebooks and raw recordings on occasion - perhaps this is better than nothing!

About Subterran

Subterran is a work in progress. We are an events and music organisation based in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, S.E.Qld, primarily involved in outdoor music events with an environmental focus. Subterran aims to push the outdoor party format deeper. Our belief is that to stay true to the original intention of outdoor dance parties: earth reconnection and exploration of fringe electronic music, the culture needs to start connecting and giving back to the earth in action, not just intention, and to be able to reinvent itself to match the high pace of evolution of electronic music. Subterran is committed to pushing environmental and community intentions to the forefront, and also to showcasing exciting new music.
