We turn the tables on this week's Talking Travel, with The West Australian's travel editor Stephen Scourfield asking Matt about his highlights on the 'Epic American Music Cities Tour' of New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville.

Santiago de Chile cuenta con un poco más de cinco millones de habitantes y es una de las ciudades líder de América Latina, es la segunda ciudad más competitiva del continente, quedando solo debajo de Sao Paulo, pero su nivel de calidad de vida supera a un montón de otras ciudades, más allá de los factores sociales y económicos, Santiago es una de las ciudades más interesantes del continente, esto gracias a la música y hoy te cuento por que está dentro de la lista de las ciudades musicales de Latinoamérica.

Don and Peter shared their experience performing music ecosystem audits for four cities. The 2015 Austin Music Census and their continuing studies of Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC are more than doing a venue count. They gather the personal, qualitative stories of local life as an artist and musician in a community. They also began to take a look at what really then happens post-study with a community, including what happens with local community groups. Folks can end up swimming in different directions. They are beginning to have enough information to look across cities to compare and contrast the lives of artists. And in some cases, they have gathered up to 12 different ways that a single musician makes a living through music in this live and digitally connected age. They have great insights to share about how local makes a tremendous difference in what the superpowers are for a city. They also share how some smaller organizations and some smaller cities are making a difference and how it's more than the city -- it also is the ecosystem of the region. Guests: Don Pitts and Peter Schwarz, Co-Founders, Sound Music Cities About Sound Music Cities: Based in Austin, Texas, Sound Music Cities was born from direct experience in music-related policy, music development program implementations, and leadership of sound management initiatives. Founded by Don Pitts and Peter Schwarz in 2017, the team has extensive experience in music strategy that balances the needs of the music and nightlife industry with the needs of the community. Their growing list of clients includes WYEP Pittsburgh, The City of Pittsburgh Office of Nighttime Economy, The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, The City of Seattle Office of Film and Music, and the Government of the District of Columbia Office of Cable TV, Film, Music and Entertainment. Don Pitts: After 30 years in the music and entertainment industry, Don Pitts launched Sound Music Cities to help emerging and established music and entertainment cities find practical solutions to sound issues, and grow their music economy. Having garnered the nickname “The Sound Whisperer” from his tenure as the head of the City of Austin’s Economic Development Department’s Music and Entertainment Division where he reduced sound complaints by 70%, Don brings his experience and passion for creating vibrant music cities to Sound Music Cities and its clients. Originally from Nashville, Don has gone far and wide in the music industry, doing everything from managing bands and venues, to handling entertainment relations for Gibson Guitar, to co-founding the North American Music Cities Summit, to working in the public sector. His strategic perspective lies at the cross-section of these experiences – lending him the ability to navigate and bring together the political and industry landscapes. While with the City of Austin, Don’s leadership fueled programs to increase prosperity for musicians, music businesses and music venues – all important when building a sustainable economic engine. Don values political know-how, street-smarts and active listening skills – three things that help when beginning to connect the dots over the course of a large music ecosystem project.  Peter Schwarz:  Peter Schwarz brings almost four decades of experience as a musician and a business leader to the team. He recently completed a long-term commercial music industry plan for the City of Austin’s Economic Development Department, Music and Entertainment Division, as well as authored research studies for “The Pittsburgh Music Ecosystem Study” and the City of Seattle’s 2018 Music Industry Survey. He was previously for 14 years the executive-in-charge of all of Ray Benson’s holdings, including Asleep at the Wheel and Bismeaux Records. He oversaw album releases and artist management for Carolyn Wonderland, Willie and the Wheel, Raul Malo, A Ride With Bob, Texas Tornados, Wheeler Brothers, Aaron Behrens, and the 2015 GRAMMY-winner Still The King. Earlier experience includes festival coordination, arts programming, album producing, touring musician and composer (as a member and manager of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys), protégé of master Cajun fiddler Dewey Balfa, and longtime musical collaborator with his father, Tracy Schwarz, of The New Lost City Ramblers. Schwarz is a graduate of Harvard College (BA) and the McCombs School of Business (MBA).

Storm Gloor has been tracking how songs succeed since he was a young teen . . . and now explores anything from how music cities can succeed and how one-hit wonders thrive (or don't). We enjoyed talking about how cities create and sustain music scenes with help from civic organizations, which may come from government or from the community. We discussed Richard Florida's revised creative economy studies on the impact of creative communities on the rest of the city, and returned to how streaming may be impacting both local cities and how songs are constructed. Guest: Storm Gloor, Associate Professor, Music and Entertainment Industry Studies, University of Colorado, Denver Storm Gloor is an associate professor in the Music and Entertainment Industry Studies department of the College of Arts and Media at the University of Colorado Denver. He is the recipient of the university’s 2018 Excellence In Teaching award. In 2014, he developed and instructed what is thought to be the first Music Cities higher education course. Along with that course, Storm teaches Music Marketing and oversees the internships for the College of Arts & Media. As part of the First Year Experience program at CU Denver, he teaches a course on the Beatles. Professor Gloor is also a Faculty Fellow in the Center for Faculty Development, is the immediate past president of the Music and Entertainment Industry Educators Association, and serves as a city councilman for Glendale, Colorado. He has presented at numerous events and programs, including SXSW.edu, South By Southwest Music, the Music Cities Convention, the MEIEA Music Educators Summit, the Future of Music Summit, the Underground Music Showcase, the Denver Music Summit, and the EdMedia world conference.

This brief episode features our host and Center director, Gigi Johnson, sharing an invitation to join us in person at UCLA (while supplies last) or via Zoom online for our May 15 Conference on Amplifying Music in Our Los Angeles.  Gigi shares the questions that other Music Cities are asking -- how to amplify local music scenes in the face of (a) gentrification and (b) this streaming era.  She outlines what the day will bring and how questions such as mapping and gentrification bring out other questions of whose LA and formal and informal LA. Tickets are available for free at musicinla.eventbrite.com and the past Feb. 6 event recordings and information can be found -- along with a city map of formal venues -- at musicinla.org.  

The second in our series focused on great music cities, this week we tackle London and cover the 1960’s through the 80’s. We each picked 10 albums to represent three decades of amazing music from the UK epicenter that takes us to Carnaby Street during the swinging 60’s, the 100 Club at punks apex and to King Cross as synthesizers became pop’s instrument of choice. Look for Part 2 in the coming weeks.   huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg

Gigi Johnson invites listeners of this Innovating Music podcast to join in research, events, and conversations in 2019 on the possible Future(s) of Music in Los Angeles.  She discusses the Center's research so far in looking at tech's impact on live performance.  She mentions work in many other Music Cities to look at how to help their live performance ecosystems. The UCLA Center for Music Innovation (CMI) will be looking at how Los Angeles is both complex and perhaps different.  Its 91 neighborhoods, diverse populations, and intertwining relationships with recorded music affect its local music environments.  CMI welcomes different communities to join in this research and conversations about encouraging robust communities in Los Angeles for the future.   Sign up to be part of this project at this link.

With three weeks to go before players even arrive at camp, there's not a lot of basketball news to cover.By now, most of us have read up on Jackie McMullen's excellent series on mental health in the NBA (and if you haven't, you should), and we're pretty sure Terry Rozier won't be in a Phoenix Suns uniform any time soon. There's Hall of Fame inductions involving former Boston Celtics on both sides of the ceremonies, and a little smidgen of other news around the league we break down in this summer edition of the CL Pod, which is running every-other week in the offseason, at least until things start to heat up, anyway.But, since the news is not enough for a full-length podcast, we decided to pit the cities of the projected top four teams (the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets Toronto Raptors and of course the Celts) plus some classic (Los Angeles Lakers) and arguably forced (Philadelphia 76ers, Washington Wizards and Denver Nuggets) rivalries in an 8-team one-and-done tourney on which city has the best...music!While you might not know yours truly (Justin Quinn) worked for a decade of his life as a music buyer for several independent music stores, you ought to know about CelticsLife UK correspondent Josh Coyne has a double life as a music podcaster as well, running the Handstamp Podcast in addition to his NBA coverage (seriously, check it out and subscribe if you haven't already). So, we hope our combined musical knowledge will convincingly settle the score - we gave it our best, least-biased take, so buckle up and listen to the results in the podcast above, and however you feel about non-basketball-related podcasting, we're under a month to some actual basketball business.

Dr Shain Shapiro is founder and CEO of Sound Diplomacy, bridging the gap between music and the world of policy and urban planning. Sound Diplomacy is the leader of the Music Cities movement, which sees culture built into the urban environment through an integrated music policy. Music is a universal language. While we all have individual tastes and preferences, it's an experience common to everyone. It can aid with early development, rehabilitation and healthy ageing. It's personal benefits are therefore indisputable. A well curated and executed music policy can help attract & retain capital and talent, help build the nigh-time economy and improve tourism. Shain argues that Music Cities need more than just a a policy though; they need someone to promote the cause within the local authority to ensure that it is being thought about & that policy is being enacted. The efficacy of this can be seen in London; Shain believes that the decline of 35-40% of music venues in the capital over the past decade has been halted, (at least in part) due to the appointment of the Mayor's night-czar, Amy Lamé. For developers, music is yet another piece in the puzzle of creating a sense of place that will make the development more deliverable and therefore valuable. For build-to-rent's model, music's role in community building should definitely be considered further. It's important to remember that music (like all arts and cultures) requires a full ecosystem to flourish. Headline acts come from grass-root venue beginnings and those venues need to be encouraged and cultivated. Shain believes that venues with capacity of less than 500 will need to look to multi-use in order to be sustainable as business models. The plurality of buildings could emerge as community centres, tech incubators, yoga studios or many uses. Tech solutions, such as

Episode #124: How do local music ecosystems affect the economic and cultural health of a city?

Hear how their groups are changing the game when it comes to protecting and sustaining music culture. Learn how these regional partnerships are impacting our local community, creating opportunities and helping increase the value of music -- and our cities. Produced by Will Watts and Anna McClain.

What's a 'music city'? And how do you qualify to become one? This week, music and culture specialists Shane Homan from the School of Media, Film and Journalism at Monash University, and Catherine Strong from the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University explain. And, it turns out, Melbourne, with more live music venues per capita than anywhere else in the world, does indeed qualify.   

This week we continue with our series of episodes focused on great music cities. We discuss the history, the bands, the venues and the events that make a place special for creating, playing and recording music. For Los Angeles Part 2 we start in the early 80’s to cover great records by bands representing the Latino and African American communities, we, revisit the Sunset Strip and stop in Compton for two albums that will surprise no one before wrapping up with some 90’s punk rock and three amazing albums released within the past decade.   Here’s a list of all the records we discuss across the two episodes:   1.

Ellen Euler, Katja Hermes, Michela Magas, Markus Schwarzer Urban planers, city council, technologists and businesses have been discussing the emergent smart city for several years. Cities are to be transformed through networked technologies and the power of big data in order to make them more efficient, more ecological and more socially inclusive with the premise of more citizen engagement and participation. Glasgow, Adelaide, Sevilla or Mannheim are music cities according to UNESCO. Nashville, Melbourne and Berlin are also cities of music, without carrying an official title. However, their objectives are very similar: How can the strategic development of a city support the creation of economic, ecologic and social value with regard to the music industry, the creative industries, their spaces and places, infrastructures, businesses and scenes and thus make the city more livable. What are the perils in merging these two concepts? What is a smart music city? How could public transport immediately react to the needs of audiences? What could urban planers and citizens learn if they knew what music people stream in different neighborhoods? How could an urban guidance system work not only visually but also sonically? In this panel, experts from urban development and urban planning will discuss with experts from the cultural and creative industries and technology developers. Together, they are hoping to identify central aspects of smart music cities, discuss possible fields of application and ponder how implementation processes might look like. Mit Unterstützung der Gesellschaft für Musikwirtschafts- und Musikkulturforschung e.V.

This week we start a new series of episodes focused on great music cities.  We discuss the history, the bands, the venues and the events that make a place special for creating, playing and recording music.  For this inaugural episode we discuss Los Angeles in two parts.  This part 1 starts with the West Coast Jazz movement of the 1950’s and takes us into the 80’s when Black Flag and the like were raising hell in the beach cities along Pacific Coast Highway.      Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44   huntsmanhill.com
