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 .","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":"16 1","pages":"101-119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2015-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67650337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":"16 1","pages":"71-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2015-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1558/PRBT.V16I1-2.23973","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67649563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":"15 1","pages":"149-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2015-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67649336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
