LA wildlife survey
BODY:
A huge citizen science project in Los Angeles is uncovering unknown species and the full diversity of the city's wildlife. Brian Brown is a curator of the Entomology Section of the LA Natural History Museum.
EXTENDED BODY:
A huge citizen science project in Los Angeles is uncovering unknown species and the full diversity of the city's wildlife.
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the US, sprawling over 1,300km2 and home to millions of people. Its traffic takes some beating, too - as the city boasts one of the worst rush hour periods in the world! But LA is also home to a surprisingly varied animal population, and thanks to the efforts of an army of citizen scientists this is becoming even more diverse.
"We think about rainforests and tropical places as where we might find undescribed species and where there's unknown diversity, and yet we find it in the most mundane of places we can imagine; backyards in the city" - Brian Brown
The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has launched what has been described as "the largest urban biodiversity study in the world". It's called the Urban Nature Research Center and it's trying to get city residents to record the fauna fluttering, slithering and crawling in their own backyards.
So far people have discovered over 43 new species of fly and a whole host of reptiles, amphibians, spiders and slugs that have never been seen before in California. Brian Brown is a curator of the Entomology Section of the LA Natural History Museum.
He tells This Way Up's Simon Morton that a similar approach could easily be followed anywhere in the world.

Edible hay bale wrapping
BODY:
A team of British chemists from farming backgrounds has come up with an edible hay bale wrapping that's attracting interest from all over the world, including from here in New Zealand. We speak to one of the inventors, Nick Aristidou.
EXTENDED BODY:
An edible plastic wrapping for animal feed aims to reduce the environmental impact of farming.
Every year an estimated 8 billion bales of animal feed such as silage, hay and straw are used worldwide, often wrapped in metres of plastic to protect it from the elements.
It's a handy way to store excess feed, and then feed it out to stock throughout the year. But animals sometimes eat the plastic wrapping and injure themselves, and removing the wrap is a hassle for farmers. Then it all has to be disposed of which is costly, and as lots of it ends up in landfill it's also bad for the environment.
So three British chemists with a background in farming have come up with an edible hay bale wrapping that's attracting interest from all over the world, including from here in New Zealand. This Way Up's Simon Morton speaks to one of the inventors, Nick Aristidou of Bionet.
"Working on a farm myself I've experienced firsthand the hassle of unwrapping hay bales. The plastic is difficult to remove and costly to dispose of. We estimate that wrapping them in our product could save a farmer with a 100-cow herd 1,080 hours typically spent unwrapping the bales" - Will Joyce.

Surplus food market
BODY:
Zoe Wong is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cerplus, an online marketplace for surplus produce that links farms and wholesalers directly with food businesses and kitchens rather than having to go via intermediaries like supermarkets.
EXTENDED BODY:
A new online marketplace targeting businesses is trying to tackle the global problem of food waste.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates over a billion tonnes of food gets wasted every year around the world – that's about one-third of all the food we produce!
There are lots of initiatives around the world that aim to reduce food waste. There's Kiwharvest in Auckland, the Free Store in Wellington, the Roti Bank in India and Foodblessed in Lebanon. From a blemished apple to a pie that's been sat in a warmer for the day, most of these projects take excess foods and redistribute them to individuals.
Cerplus' motto is 'ugly produce at pretty prices' and they're taking a different approach. Based in the US, Cerplus is connecting farmers and wholesalers directly with restaurants and businesses cutting out the food stores and supermarkets and creating a new online marketplace. The growers of the food get cash for produce that would otherwise go to waste... and it's good for the businesses buying the food who enjoy discounts of between 30 to 50 percent!
Simon Morton talks with Zoe Wong, the co-founder and CEO of Cerplus.

Recloose: Honey Rocks
BODY:
Following a 13-year stint in New Zealand, Motor City house and techno producer Recloose is Stateside once again – he talks to Sam Wicks about his new home in New York City.
EXTENDED BODY:
During his decade-plus stint living in New Zealand, tropical techno producer Recloose drew together musicians like Dallas Tamaira, Lisa Tomlins and Myele Manzana around his sound, in turn allowing local influences to infuse his Motor City production.
Recloose is now Stateside once again, holding down a gang of new responsibilities in New York City: juggling new fatherhood, DJing, and managing New Zealand software company Serato’s East Coast operations.
“You definitely do feel like a ping pong ball out here with everything that’s going on. I mean, I’m sure people are aware of how hyperactive the city is, but you can mentally prepare but I don’t think there’s anything you can really do to be fully ready for it until you’re in the thick of it.”
After a three-year absence, Recloose has also deliveried a new EP, Honey Rocks, released on Will Saul’s Aus Music label. The production polymath talks to Sam Wicks about living life on NY time.

Best new music (so far) in 2016
BODY:
Team RNZ Music convenes to present some of our favourite sounds of the year so far.
EXTENDED BODY:
It's almost half way through the year, the shortest day is drawing near - the perfect time to cosy up and listen to some excellent tunes. The RNZ Music team convenes to present some of their favourite sounds of 2016 so far, in three parts:
David Bowie - Lazarus
Kirsten Johnstone: We should have seen it coming. What a way to go out.
Beyonce - Freedom
Nick Bollinger: All the themes of Lemonade - racism, liberation and African-American womanhood – come together in the concept album’s climactic track, complete with Kendrick Lamar cameo.
Kanye West - Ultralight Beam/30 Hours
Sam Wicks: Ultralight Beam again sees Yeezus in god-mode, the Megachurch-sized gospel song featuring a choir of supporting players – plus a four-year-old catching the Holy Ghost.
Anderson . Paak - Lite Weight
Yadana Saw: “There’s no reason to be afraid, no time to be like that” sings Anderson. Paak. If Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Outkast's The Love Below collided it would be Malibu - a rich, satisfying and uplifting slab of soul, hip hop, funk and disco. It is our time to like Anderson .Paak
SWIDT – No More Parties In Stoneyhunga
Hussein Moses: “Biggest victory for Onehunga since Dressmart” – David Dallas
Rock Away - Unity Pacific
Trevor Reekie: Unity Pacific is Tigilau Ness and his son Che Fu - you can hear the affection in the music.
G.L.O.S.S. - We Live
Zac Arnold: G.L.O.S.S. stands for 'Girls Living Outside Society's Shit.' This record is angry - not in the thuggish joke hardcore kinda way - this is seriously angry. It's political - finally a punk record that says something.
TRANS DAY OF REVENGE by G.L.O.S.S.
Average Rap Band 'El Eh'
Sam: Visa issues meant Average Rap Band’s Tom Scott very nearly didn’t make his first trip to the States. El Eh marks the point the trip was off, Tom's resigned vocals floating over synth funk as hazy as the LA skyline.
Radiohead 'Daydreaming'
Kirsten: A perfect headphone song with intricate textures, back-masted voices, wistful piano and lush orchestral arrangements, gently drifting through sentiments of hopelessness and acceptance.
Purple Pilgrims - Forever
Hussein: Forever is a weird, understated and experimental take on pop music from sisters Valentine and Clementine Adams. See our visit to Purple Pilgrims HQ
Drax Project - Cold (live session)
Yadana: The jazz, hip hop, pop quartet at their best: sparkling, soulful, stripped back and live. Onstage is where their jazz improv and tight musicianship shine.
Brigid Mae Power - Is It My Low Or Yours
Trevor: This is from the Irish artist's second album, she's got a very ethereal quality - words that disappear into languid whispers. I think she's going to help re-define folk.
Parents - Wounded
Zac: The last song on the last record ever by Auckland punk collective Parents. They'll be missed on the live scene.
Great Reward by Parents
Dave Dobbyn - Burning Love
Nick: Elder-statesman of Kiwi song pens a mature ode to enduring love, with a melody McCartney would be proud of.
Harmony House by Dave Dobbyn
Bat For Lashes - Sunday Love
Yadana: It's been an ear worm for me. It's got a propelling, twinkly 80s synth quality. I love how she takes on interesting characters - in this case it's a bride who's been left at the altar, while her groom has died in a car crash.
UMO - First World Problems
Sam: UMO’s most tightly-wound record yet, a psych-funk offering Ruban Nielson’s describes as a song about modern love, “while a decadent world falls apart around you.”
Zen Mantra – Maybe I’ll See You In My Dream
Hussein: A cathartic and heart-breaking song from Christchurch’s Sam Perry that’s dedicated to the memory of his father.
No Zu - Spirit Beat
Zac: Proving that I don't just listen to hardcore punk, this has a wacky sense of rhythm, bongos, congos, Omar Soleyman synths and chanting.
Tom Waits The Soul of a Man (Blind Willie Johnson)
Trevor: Tom Waits is the right man to take this song. There's a famous description of Tom having a voice "soaked in a vat of Bourbon hanging in a smokehouse for a couple of months, then taken outside and run over with a car."
Aldous Harding - Horizon (Live at Whammy Bar)
Kirsten: Only existing in live form as yet, this shows Aldous at her best, creating space and simplicity with an ill-fated love song.
Lontalius - A Feeling So Sweet
Nick: Drawing as much on Drake-style R&B as introspective singer-songwriting, Eddie Johnson takes those indescribable feelings of teenage longing and turns them into perfectly aching pop.

NZ On Air’s New Music funding scheme
BODY:
David Ridler, NZ On Air's Head of Music and Radio, speaks with Zac Arnold about NZ On Air's recent changes to new music funding.
EXTENDED BODY:
NZ On Air recently announced some changes to the way they fund music. From July 1, the New Music funding scheme will make $2 million available for signed and unsigned artists to record a single and video, or for a project (made up of at least two consecutive singles) that has co-investment from a “professional music company” to the tune of at least 40% of the costs.
Zac Arnold sat down with NZ On Air’s Head of Music and Radio, David Ridler, to talk about the changes.
These changes are intriguing. What wasn't working with Making Tracks?
Things change so quickly, and they certainly have in the last five years since Making Tracks came into being. I was actually part of developing Making Tracks as well so I kind of got a unique insight into the environment back then and the environment now. A bigger example of the changes is [that] Spotify hadn't even launched in New Zealand in 2011 [and] now streaming is the number one recorded music revenue stream.
We had $2 million to spend with Making Tracks and looking at those inputs and realising that a lot of that resource was going to music video production [but not] for things that were getting the songs noticed … things like promotion and publicity.
It's all very well to put a video on YouTube, but it's like when a tree falls in the woods - it's how you find it and how you discover it that's becoming the really important thing.
In the New Music Project funding, an artist is required to have backing from a "professional third party music company”. You've mentioned Flying Nun and major labels, but where does that leave artists who are doing it DIY?
It leaves them with single funding at the moment. It's one of those things where we only have a finite amount of funds [for] and you do have to make some hard decisions sometimes. But I looked at a few different agencies and their funding methodologies before we put that into place, and there's definitely precedent for it throughout the public sector.
Because of the professional backing that you need to have, is that bait for major labels to invest? It’s something they haven't been doing as much.
I would certainly say that if you look at the last five or six years in the New Zealand music industry, there's been a lack of investment in New Zealand music, and that came through loud and clear in the feedback that I got. It definitely felt like investment had not completely disappeared, but [it had] all but disappeared, and that was a real issue.
We can't downplay that the NZ Music Industry is quite a behemoth. It's still making a lot of money and there's a lot of people with a lot of jobs in it.
Yeah, there are. [There’s] probably half as many as there were 15 years ago. But the sale of recorded music has dropped a lot over the last 10 years and, with that, a lot of investment came out of the business. So the problem with not having any investment is that it is really difficult to get a song from being awesome to actually getting it exposed.
So with exposure, how is co-investment or extra money going to help you get onto that Spotify playlist that gets you from 5,000 streams to 80,000 streams?
There are so many different ways to do it, but one of the keys things I've found is [that] between the streaming services and the radio programmers and the bloggers, it takes almost a weight of noise for things to tip for people. We know there is so much music and so much choice and that's just the basic facts. It's almost like friend recommendations, seeing things on your social media feeds, hearing a clip on the radio while you're at the service station - all that sort of stuff has to coordinate to get it to tip. Not just in the gatekeeper’s heads, but the next level is to tip into people's consciousness to the point where they go 'I like that song enough to purchase it, put it on a Spotify playlist, go and see the show, watch it on YouTube’ - all those other things.
You put your money into it, you co-invest, you get some output. What are the measures of success that NZ On Air is looking for?
The tricky thing is that 100,000 streams for one artist can be a great success, but for another artist it can be a complete disaster. So that is where we have to be quite mindful that there are different songs and different artists for different sized audiences. It's kind of rough and ready, but it is a split between our mainstream focused projects, which we would expect bigger numbers for and radio play in most cases, and our more niche audience projects, where you would expect a different set of measurements.
So keeping it vague makes it easier to say 'you've done a good job'?
No, not really. I can't sit here and say ‘Yoko-Zuna - we expect them to get two million plays on their new EP’, because I don't think that's fair. That's quite a unique sound that's going to have a niche audience. If we say, 'right, here's a catch-all measure for every single artist and if you don't make two million streams off your single then you shall never get funding again', that's just too harsh.

Stranger To Stranger by Paul Simon

EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Bollinger samples a new rhythm-based set from Paul Simon.
Paul Simon is a fool for rhythm.
Listen to ‘The Werewolf’, the track that opens his new album.
It’s a great opener, his best since ‘The Boy In The Bubble’ kick-started Graceland thirty years ago. It’s got jokes, albeit black ones (‘Milwaulkee man led a fairly decent life, had a fairly decent living, fairly decent wife/ she killed him/sushi knife…’) It has musical metaphors: that strange stringed sound that starts the song – an Indian instrument called a gopichand - does make a noise something like the howl of a Hollywood werewolf. It has unexpected digressions: by the second verse he’s talking about the income gap, but keeps circling back to the image of the werewolf that will get us all, rich and poor alike. But the clincher is the rhythm: a rolling percussive groove with a West African kick, which spoke to my feet while Simon was speaking his mind.
Simon’s pursuit of rhythm distinguishes him from the singer-songwriter school of the 60s that established the idea of the lone figure with an acoustic guitar and asensitive soul, of which he was once the epitome. It’s what took him to Jamaica for ‘Mother and Child Reunion’, Soweto for Graceland and Brazil for Rhythm of the Saints. And it’s the rhythmic foundations of his new songs that give Simon the freedom to mess around with the song form, often quite radically.
He’s written some great melodies in his time, and still does. But more than ever he slides in an out of a kind of rhythmic song-speak that resembles conversation, with all of its digressions, interruptions and non-sequiturs. A measure of how far he’s come since his Simon and Garfunkel days is to try and imagine Art Garfunkel singing harmony to any of these songs. It’s virtually impossible.
Though rhythms remain integral throughout the album, they do relax a bit – and the guitar comes out - when Simon starts to reflect on the two concerns that have increasingly dominated his writing: love and mortality. In ‘The Riverbank’ he appears to reference the Sandy Hook school massacre, which took place in his native Connecticut.
Elsewhere it is his own mortality that under consideration, resulting in the album’s most traditional songs: the one he calls ‘Proof Of Love’, or the closing ‘Insomniac’s Lullaby’ – tunes you could almost imagine on a Simon and Garfunkel album. This is classic Simon songwriting, every note and syllable burnished to perfection.
At times I wonder if the whole thing might be a bit overworked. Still he’s a long way from the days when songs like ‘The Dangling Conversation’ dripped with self-conscious poetics and name-dropped actual poets. In ‘Insomniac’s Lullaby’ he tips things gently but nicely off balance with the microtonal bells of the late composer/inventor Harry Partch.
At 74, Paul Simon is still exploring new ways of using language, both musical and lyrical. His compositional tools are words and melodies, but also rhythms and sounds, to which he applies his perfectionism.
Everything here – from the single-stringed gopichan to the Partch-invented zoomoozophone – has been placed, like a dot on a pointillist painting.
That said, there is an element of what you might generously call ‘creative appropriation’ in Simon’s approach. He’s never been shy of borrowing an idea and taking the credit – whether it’s Martin Carthy’s arrangement of ‘Scarborough Fair’, a beat from Soweto or a melody from Bach. And he’s still doing it here, liberally sampling flamenco, samba and the Golden Gate Quartet. Not that it comes out sounding like any of those. More than ever, Simon’s instincts are like those of a hip-hop artist, fashioning his found materials into something uniquely his own. And no one else is going to make a record like this one.
Songs featured: The Werewolf, Wristband, Street Angel, In A Parade, Cool Papa Bell, The Riverbank, Insomniac’s Lullaby.
Stranger To Stranger is available on Universal.
