- Summary:
-
The idea for the 'Antarctica and Music' conference and music festival in Canberra at ANU School of Music was devised by Arnan Wiesel to commemorate the centenary of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14
- Notes:
-
- "Community music plays a key role in Antarctic life and in building community: bringing joy, sharing and re-telling experiences. It continues to change, reflecting changes to infrastructure and broader cultural and technological progress in Antarctica and the world. Yet it retains its own special characteristics, reflecting the uniqueness of the place and its community life. It is striking how these songs unconsciously, yet uncannily, distil so many facets and details of ordinary life and culture that do not otherwise get documented. The examples in this paper may lack subtlety, but if you examine the verses closely you see rich detail delivered with economy. It is all a bit of fun, but what we do for fun can tell us a lot about ourselves and our society" --Conclusion.
