As Chair of the Forums Committee of Rotary Club of Wellington, I invite you to the "Wellington: Creating Tomorrow" Forum, 12.15pm to 5.30pm, Thursday 4 July 2019 in the Renouf Foyer, Michael Fowler Centre.

For eight years, the Rotary Forum has provided an opportunity for people to come together and share their ideas on a range of topics from security and privacy through to lessons for Wellington from the Christchurch earthquakes. In the last two years, we have invited some of New Zealand’s most innovative thinkers to talk on the theme "Wellington: Impossible Dreams".

This year we’ll build on that success by inviting more inspiring speakers to share their ideas on "Wellington: Creating tomorrow". The Forum will also include ‘communities of interest’ among participants, providing them with opportunities to engage, collaborate and co-create their Wellington (city and region) of the future.

We've attracted some of Wellington's leading government decision-makers (like Grant Robertson, MP for Wellington Central, who will talk about the implications of the Wellbeing Budget, and Chloe Swarbick, MP); Iwi and business leaders (like Wayne Mulligan,CEO Fomana Capital Ltd and Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust and Anake Goodall, former CEO of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu); advocates (like Sophie Handford, organiser of the recent #SchoolStrike4Climate); policy planners (like Moana Mackey, the Chief Advisor to the Chief City Planner at Wellington City Council); youth leaders (like Tamatha Paul, President VUW Students' Assn); and Dr Sarb Johal, Psychologist and disaster mental health expert.

Further details including a link for registration are available on: wforum.nz... (copy this into your browser to link to event website)

Celebrating New Zealand music
Wednesday 29 May 2019
5.30pm - 6.30pm
National Library Tiakiwai Auditorium, Cnr Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon


Collecting original hi-fidelity sources
Popular music has become a major focus of music archiving around the world during recent decades. Public institutions and community-organised archives alike have recognised the value of collecting, for instance, ephemera, instruments and artefacts, recordings, and oral history.

In this talk, Michael Brown discusses recent experiences at the Alexander Turnbull Library around collecting of master recordings: the original hi-fidelity sources of commercial releases. The talk concentrates mainly on the Viking and Ode record labels, who have been progressively donating their master tapes to the Library’s Archive of New Zealand Music. Each collection contains different types of “masters” – production masters, copy masters, outtakes, field recordings, etc. – along with accompanying documentation. The Library has developed a new acquisition model around these collections, in which audio digitisation serves both the Library’s preservation mandate and the labels’ own needs.

Historical insights into music production in New Zealand
Given the effort required to preserve such magnetic-tape media, the question can be asked: what is the value of masters for researchers and future generations? These recordings in fact provide numerous historical insights into music production in New Zealand. The quality of the master audio, meanwhile, which considerably exceeds that of the original releases, can serve as a primary source for phonomusicological study as well as enabling re-release via online digital platforms.

About the speaker
Dr Michael Brown is Curator, Music at the Alexander Turnbull Library (part of the National Library of New Zealand). His publications include the co-edited volume Searches for Tradition: Essays on New Zealand Music, Part and Present, published in 2017 by Victoria University Press.
