The newsletter for PPCA Artists Autumn 15 Welcome to the latest edition of ‘On The Record’, PPCA’s newsletter for artists and licensors. 2015 has started off in a fine fashion with a host of great music by both local and international artists having already been released. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has to offer, particularly from our home-grown talent.

Once again, PPCA provided the $30,000 prize money to the winner, which this year was Melbourne artist Remi for his album ‘Raw X Infinty’. PPCA partnered for the second successive year with the Australia Council to offer local artists and labels five $15,000 Recording Artist Grants, and we recently announced the latest round of recipients for these grants.

Megan joins Lindy Morrison as the Artist Representatives on the Board and is a highly respected member of the Australian music community. I look forward to working with Megan during her tenure. PPCA distributed nearly $33M to our registered artists and labels at the end of 2014. It was another great result, which helps to ensure our artists and the labels that support them can continue to do what they do best – make amazing and inspiring music. Cheers, Dan Rosen PPCA CEO #26 / 15 PPCA & Australia Council Grants Announced Following a successful first round in 2014, PPCA and Australia Council are pleased to announce the recipients of five grants offered under a joint initiative of the two organisations. Through the partnership, five grants of $15,000 were offered to assist Australian artists create new sound recordings. PPCA is extremely pleased to be able to offer these grants for a second-year running as an on-going effort to contribute to the diversity of Australian music and assist Australian recording artists to have successful careers. PPCA was also delighted to be able to partner with the Australia Council, drawing on the Council’s extensive expertise in managing peer assessed grant programs for the arts sector. After a rigorous application process, recipients of the second PPCA Australia Council grants have been chosen across a range of genres from jazz to classical and contemporary singer-songwriters: • Singer-songwriter and guitarist Mia Dyson to record and release three EPs over a 12 month period. Each EP will be recorded in a different city with a different producer (Joe Pisapia, Erin “Syd” Sidney and Ben Tolliday). • Alex Masso with Sydney-based jazz group The Vampires will record their fifth album featuring collaborations with West African-born and US-based guitarist/vocalist Lionel Loueke and produced by bassist Lloyd Swanton (The Necks). • Genevieve will create a body of new work based on traditional Tiwi songs featuring collaborator Teresita Puruntatameri. • Luke Howard will record his second solo album of contemporary chamber music featuring collaborators Daniel Farrugia, Leonard Grigoryan and Ryan Monro. • The Growl to record their third full length album in Los Angeles. Congratulations to the five recipients. We look forward to hearing the results of these projects as they come to fruition.

T h e n e w s l e t t e r f o r P P C A A r t i s t s Autumn 15
Welcome to the latest edition of ‘On The Record’, PPCA’s newsletter for artists and licensors.
2015 has started off in a fine fashion with a host of great music by both local and international artists having already been released. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has to offer, particularly from our home-grown talent.
I was extremely proud to represent PPCA at the presentation of the 10th annual Australian Music Prize in March. This year saw another great crop of artists nominated for the prestigious honour. Once again, PPCA provided the $30,000 prize money to the winner, which this year was Melbourne artist Remi for his album ‘Raw X Infinty’.
PPCA partnered for the second successive year with the Australia Council to offer local artists and labels five $15,000 Recording Artist Grants, and we recently announced the latest round of recipients for these grants. The range and quality of applicants under the program has been extraordinary and on behalf of PPCA I would like to congratulate all of the artists who were successful in securing grant funding.
One of the 2014 grant recipients, Melbourne singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett, recently released her grant-facilitated debut album, ‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit’, which was greeted with great reviews and fans all around the world.
I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome Megan Washington to the PPCA Board. Megan joins Lindy Morrison as the Artist Representatives on the Board and is a highly respected member of the Australian music community. I look forward to working with Megan during her tenure.
PPCA distributed nearly $33M to our registered artists and labels at the end of 2014. It was another great result, which helps to ensure our artists and the labels that support them can continue to do what they do best – make amazing and inspiring music.
Cheers,
