The Waves Music Conference is part of the festival and off ers keynotes, panels, and workshops on October 3rd and 4th 2013. The specialist programme, which is meant to be the basis and inspiration for a long-term, pan-European cooperation, addresses current issues in the music industry as well as the key subject of Eastern and Western European exchange.

inteRnational induStRy meeting aS an oppoRtunity foR local muSicianSDuring the Waves Music Conference, Vienna becomes the meeting point of international disseminators of the music business such as festival and concert organisers, labels and publishing houses, as well as managers and media people. Internationalisation is a key issue for many local artists and their business environment. The conference off ers the opportunity to establish important, long-lasting contacts to all those who have not yet been present at international festivals and conferences.

Focal points and innovations 2013:

• neW location – moRe Space foR netWoRkingThis year the conference is held at the Urania, one of the most attractive and historic lecture buildings. Several rooms of diff erent sizes enable a more extensive programme. Besides suffi cient space for panels, delegates have enough room for getting acquainted with each other, discussions, and networ-king. The conference programme 2013 includes longer breaks, which off ers larger time margins for discussions.

• bRoad topical ScopeApart from the main focus “Cooperation between East and West”, the conference programme addresses exciting future topics of the music industry (e.g. cross-border licensing, how will new music be approached in the future?), current social issues (e.g. well-intentioned censorship, the income situation of musicians, women in the Eastern Europe music world),

Slovenian Reception

True to the motto “East Meets West”, Waves Vienna once again welcomes two guest countries to this year’s festival and conference programme – and thereby continues to encourage a long-term, pan-European exchange.

Despite its small population and geographical size, Slovenia has lots of interesting music to offer. Many genres are currently flourishing in the wake of the historical developments of recent years. The loss of the broader common Yugoslav cultural sphere in 1991 shook the economic foundations of Slovenian music. This led to a commercialisation of both the music scene and the media landscape, and many musicians consciously shifted their gaze across national borders to actively get involved with international music industry trends. A positive consequence of all these turbulent events is that today’s music scene in Slovenia is livelier than ever. In recent years, the alternative part of the Slovenian rock scene has experienced a unique renaissance, the electronic scene got extremely lively with internationally established DJs and producers, and

the Jazz scene continues to be as amazing as it has always been. And we are lucky to be able to wel-come nine Slovenian representatives in this year’s festival line-up: gloomy tunes from outer space by Coma Stereo, It’s Everyone Else – known for their distorted synths, the rock ’n’ rollers from Kill Kenny, the Milk Drinkers – you’ll recognise them by their leather jackets and bottles of Jack Daniel’s, freestyle-champion N’toko, New Wave Syria – lo-cated somewhere between rock ’n’ roll and minimal, the Slovenian-Finnish combo The Toronto Drug Bust, DJ and producer Ian Green, and Melée and her boys of Werefox.

During the Slovenian reception held at Urania on Saturday, Slovenian rapper, freestyle champion, and producer N’toko will cater for the right music for this event. Free drinks and finger food will be served to appease your hunger.

FRI 04.10., 16:30–18:00 Slovenian Reception @ Dachsaal / Urania; LIVE: N’toko; free drinks and finger food for delegates.

belgian Reception

Belgium – the Western representative and guest country of this year’s festival – is a small country, but it is also a European melting pot with a rich music history. Not to forget that Belgium consists of four language areas (the Dutch area, the French area, the German area, and the bilingual capital area) and is sometimes considered the border between Germanic and Latin Europe – a crossroads of diff erent cultures. And being the European capital, Brussels is a genuine magnet for international immigrants, visitors, and cultural infl uences. This is why Belgium is so rich in creative talent and overfl owing with cultural activi-ties. Music thrives everywhere!

At the same time, it seems diffi cult to market Belgium as a music nation abroad – a small and com-plicated country with a rather dull image that is stuck to a handful of tired clichés (chocolate, fries, waffl es, and so on). A pity, because its music heritage is noth-ing to be embarrassed about – even the saxophone is a Belgian invention. And it has a long-lasting tradi-tion of world-class summer festivals such as Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Dour, I Love Techno, etc.

At Waves Vienna, ten acts from Belgium will be per-forming. What you’ll get: Girls in Hawaii, who have already gained an international fan-base, beautiful melancholic sounds by Amatorski, the young dream pop duo Floatfall, Flying Horseman, whose lead singer is also a member of Dans Dans, The Experi-mental Tropic Blues Band, known for their extrava-gant stage performances, dreamily melancholic lo-fi folk by oscar & the Wolf, the talented duo Soldout, BRNS from the medieval streets of Brussels, and Compuphonic, who actually studied classical music, but then fell in love with a synthesiser.

During the Café BELGIAN BOOMS Reception, held at Urania on Friday, you will be served free Belgian beer and fi nger food while being able to enjoy live per-formances by two exceptional Belgian bands – Girls in Hawaii and Amatorski.

THU 03.10., 16:30–18:00 Café BELGIAN BOOMS Reception @ Dachsaal / Urania; LIVE: Amatorski & Girls in Hawaii; free drinks and fi nger food for delegates.

We have a very special trip prepared for you on Sat-urday. The fl agship of the Danube Shipping Company is going to be part of – no, even more important – it’s going to be the connection between Waves Vienna and Waves Bratislava, the latter of which is taking place for the fi rst time ever in the Slovak capital.

On Saturday, 5th of October, the ship is going to set off at 11 am in Vienna. Three Austrian bands will perform on this extraordinary cruise: The Beth Edges, who, despite their young age, turn out to be pretty experienced musicians with great depth in their sound, the very talented Austrian-British alternative pop band Gin Ga, and Austrian singer-songwriter Coshiva. Of course, we take care of food and drinks as well.

After the Delegates Cruise, we take you on a short tour trough the city centre of Bratislava. After that, you can enjoy some Slovak music at our reception before you can either go back to Vienna by bus or stay in Bratislava and attend some of the splendid shows of Waves Bratislava. Access only with registration in the Pro Area on our website. Enjoy a great cruise!

(11:00-12:00)Wie gehen wir damit um, dass Kunst, die uns teilweise zuwider sein mag, aber gegen keine Gesetze verstößt, ein großes Publikum anspricht? Braucht es mehr Einschränkungen?

# 02 panel Women in the eaSteRn euRopean muSic induStRy (11:00-12:00) Maybe the impression is wrong, but it seems that there are more women in strong positions in the music business and in music organizations in Eastern Europe than in Western Europe. Is that simply because music business is newer there and structures therefore less rigid and gridlocked and there-fore more open to the best people regardless of their sex? Or do only men consider music a less profitable business? We want to find out about women’s experiences and situations in the East and the West.[EN] Urania, TerrassensaalSpeakers: Zsuzsanna Bende (A38; HU), Nathalie Blue (Primary Talent; UK), Zorana Kličković (Menart; HR), Irena Povse (Buba Booking; SI)Host: Oľga Smetanová (Music Centre Slovakia / IAMIC; SK)

# 05 panel iS theRe a Space foR muSic manageRS in Small maRketS? (12:15-13:15)One of the reasons why there are so few music managers in countries like Austria and in most of Eastern Europe is most probably that there’s not enough money and they’re running a label or a booking agency at the same time.

# film ScReening laSt Shop Standing (11:45-12:45)[EN] Urania, KlubsaalBased on the successful book of the same name, the 50-minute documentary Last Shop Standing is a celebra-tion of the unique spirit of comradeship and entrepreneurial ingenuity that has enabled so many shops to keep operat-ing successfully against the backdrop of massive changes in the music industry, the biggest recession in years, the growth of online file sharing and the explosion of choice in music consumption. Not long ago there was a record shop on every high street, but over 500 independent record stores have closed during the last few years. Record shops were always more than retail outlets, they are part of our culture; they support new bands and local talent. A place for musicians and music fans to congregate, to browse away a few hours, to walk away with music they didn’t know existed. The film features appearances by musicians and industry insiders including Johnny Marr, Norman Cook, Billy Bragg, Paul Weller, Nerina Pallot and Richard Hawley, but the real stars are the record shop owners, their stories are the stuff of folklore! The film tells the full story, holds back no punches, but also celebrates and promotes our great independent record stores.
