Riding the WaveFlatline Mini-FestivalSince Hendrix played Woodstock, festivals have been a phenomenon full of energy, vibrance and maybe even a little magic. They have become a seemingly lucrative business, with ticket prices in the hundreds, and several events attracting waves of people large enough to blow out population figures in some places. The attraction for the audience, of course, is the opportunity to see a host of their favourite acts under one billing, and for the one ticket price.

Unfortunately, what can seem like a glamorous business is often a very different story in the thick of it. Several festivals have become extinct of late, but it was the demise of Soundwave which truly blew the facade of magic off the festival framework. Fans were left abandoned, not only without a celebration of rock and more hardcore music, but without anything to show for their money already spent on tickets.

Enter Flatline Mini-Fest.
Brainchild of Ben Torley from BT Management, Flatline Festival sought to bring back the community spirit of the festival experience. Through both bands and fans working together and supporting one another, our local scene has an opportunity to showcase its talents and create something exciting. It is through this co-operation that we can rebuild a little of that festival magic.

Flatline Festival saw over a dozen bands perform on a single night. Supported by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the New Globe Theatre, Soundwave ticket-holders were treated to the event at no charge. It was a way of saying thanks to those who support live music as well as encouraging audiences to listen local. The array of Brisbane and Gold Coast bands were boosted by the presence of Sydney band Lillye, who gave creedence to the idea that it’s worth supporting Australian acts, because the standard of talent and professionalism, as well as pure entertainment value is alive and well in this country

The true festival spirit is alive. It’s waiting there within us all. In some, it may yet be dormant, but it’s up to us all as a community to bring that sleeping spirit to the fore, and get everyone we can to once again embrace an atitude of discovery with music. It is then, that we can prosper as an industry, a community, a country and as a people.

SoundboardJade Haven
Music can be many things, but as an expression of pure emotion, it is at its most powerful. Jade Haven breathes emotional life into their music, giving harmony to their strong stage presence.
At this stage in their career the lads of Jade Haven are inwardly focused. They are working on developing more as a band before they broaden to a community mindset.
They see a gap in the industry in relation to community thinking. Where previously, live music was a valued asset, the vitality of the community has been diminished with an attitude of complacency from the general public.
Jade Haven attracts a broad demographic. Their aim is not to impress every crowd, but their music is approachable and the new material they are working on will appeal across a variety of genres.
Support of other bands wherever possible is an important part of Jade Haven’s ethos. It is by this example hopefully others will follow. They are a band who enjoys the creative process of playing original music. The occasional cover, however, is a bit of fun, and helps to fill out a set where needed.

Jade Haven like to make use of social media to disseminate their music. They especially focus on their Youtube channel though, of course, it’s no substitute for the live music experience.
The closing of venues, and the attitude of people wanting bands to play for ‘exposure’ is of great disappointment to the band members. More venues means more opportunities, so regional centres would benefit from offering more opportunities for bands to play, if they want to attract more music.

“It’s always nice to get support from gig goers who genuinely appreciate the need for live music. The power of live performance is extremely underrated. It seems a lot of people feel they just need the Internet and headphones to get their musical fix. But experiencing music in a shared environment is a very special thing. Top 40 music nowadays is fairly superficial and vacuous. Go see a good live rock band of you want to really experience music.”

Art & SoulThe Image - Jason Walton
I got my start taking pictures with a point and shoot camera on various vacations and trips. I saw the beauty in the pictures I took and continued along that journey. In high school, I took photography and film classes but I really connected in the film world, running around, shooting short videos, and being a wild, crazy teenager. I wanted to study film in college but my parents were against it so I settled for photography and graphic design. Eventually, I changed majors to media design and writing because it was closer to film.
One day, Mike Pattengale, a drummer friend of mine, asked if I would help him film a drum cover at his place. I rented cameras, set up all the angles, and recorded him playing the song a bunch of times. That night, with zero video editing experience, I managed to edit the video together and show Mike the final product. That was one of the greatest days of my life. Mike sent the band his drum cover and they ended up hiring him as their touring drummer. Their tour played 2 shows close to my school so I did photography at one show and filmed the entire concert at the other show. I was hooked. I transferred to the school I originally wanted to attend and followed my dream of studying film.
I graduated with a B.F.A. in Cinematic Arts Production from Azusa Pacific University in California and went to work in the film industry there. However, once I started working, I learned it wasn’t what I expected. I was mistreated, underpaid, and overworked. I was screwed out of business deals, I lost friends, and I gave up on being a professional filmmaker. It took me a few months to realize, but the music industry is truly where I was meant to be.

The bands I take pictures of are very chill and down to earth. I get to hang out with great people, listen to music, and create my own content which bands truly appreciate. The pay isn’t great but I’m supplementing it by doing photography in other paid areas. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time and I’m very excited to see what my future holds for me!
What do you feel is your role in the community as an artist?In my community, I am one of the major sources for social media. By taking pictures of bands, they are able to promote themselves on social media, and show people that their concerts are a great time. I am also shooting portraits whenever I can. This gives band members profile pictures and allows people to see a different kind of photography other than concert photos. My role is similar to the role of a dedicated fan because I promote the bands I shoot and try to get other people interested in their music.

How broad (demographically) is your audience?I actually don’t know statistically how broad my audience is, but I can give a little bit of insight on the encounters I have via social media. My primary tools are my Instagram @jasonwaltonfilm and my website www.jasonwaltonfilm.com. I currently have 3,700 followers on Instagram and I would estimate that 60% of those are people under 25 years old who are fans of the bands I photograph. About 30% are photographers, both amateur and professional, and the other 10% is friends, family and bands. Instagram is really where I’m pushing my social media. I have other accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Tumblr, but I don’t use them heavily.

How do you support the wider community in areas other than your art?Photography isn’t my only creative passion. I also enjoy drawing, graphic design, reading, writing, and making videos, but I am also a heavy consumer of movies and TV shows. I watch behind the scenes videos, analyze story structure, lighting designs, cinematography choices and more. While I’m not active in the film industry I still talk with friends about how things could have been done better in one scene or why this movie didn’t do as well as this one. I enjoy many different forms of art and I’m constantly looking to broaden my horizons with new adventures and experiences.
What do you think makes someone truly an artist?Its a bit cliche to say, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. An artist is someone who can show me the way they see life, wether its through a painting, photograph, sculpture, poem, movie, you name it. I want to experience a different perspective from my own. That is why music and movies are so powerful. They suck you in and allow you to experience things you normally wouldn’t have access to. What was the last movie you cried in? Mine was probably Inside Out by Pixar. How weird is it that the creators of that movie created something so beautiful and touching to me that it brought me to tears. THAT is art. If I sat on my couch for 2 hours and looked at something else, I never would have had that experience.

How do you go about getting your work seen?Most of the way I showcase my work is on Instagram. Posting content is quick and easy and its where I’ve managed to gain the most amount of followers. I also send my work to the bands I photograph, promoters I’m working with, and the blog I am currently working for. My website I use as my portfolio for people to see the best of my work because its more “professional” than just having an Instagram to show people.
What is the feedback you get from your audience about your works effect on the community?I would say that 99% of the feedback I receive is positive. Thats the beautiful thing about Instagram for me. Its not like YouTube comments where people get into heated religious arguments on a cat video. I’m trying to stay positive and I think people can see that in me. A lot of people as me for opinions on their photographs, how they can improve, or what I did on this shot to achieve this look. Its all very inspiring and uplifting for me because I love to see other people succeed.

Cards Against Humanity
GamerverseCards Against Humanity is a game for horrible people. It is aimed at twisted minds, and certainly not for the faint-hearted. Enjoyment of the game is limited only by the collective imagination of the participants, as well as their level of pure, unadulterated depravity.
The premise of the game is simple. Black cards pose a question or give a phrase with blanks. Players have a hand of ten cards from which they create the funniest answer or phrase. The winner of each hand is the one with the funniest answer.
Demographic - This game is most definitely R(18+) rated. No matter how mature they say they are, teens just aren’t maligned enough by life, or twisted enough by porn to be truly horrible people, and thus, suitable for this game.
Group Size - If you didn’t chuckle at this heading, you just won’t get it. This game can be played by any number of people. There’s even the option of a solitaire game if you just like to chuckle at lewd and lascivious combinations.
Difficulty - This is not exactly rocket science. You should probably have a reasonable level of literacy skill, but there’s certainly no university degree required. A good knowledge of sexual terms and all things horrible is a great start though.
Nerd Level - Vanilla. You don’t have to be nerdy to love Cards Against Humanity, but the sense of depravity does seem to go hand in hand.
