excerpts from 'linesontime' an original piece written by julian fleetwood canberra ACT: linesontime -
..
'linesontime' ... the most important decisions take place when you're sitting in the supermarket queue
yet we're always expecting something more: something triumphant; or something catastrophic
when things happen they happen slowly gradually quietly silently
cont: beneath the sewage systems and the path train
beneath the cobblestones and the water mains
beneath the traffic of friendships and street deals beneath the screeching of kamikaze cab wheels beneath everything I can think of to write about all lives and moves by splitting light of the present as ships split water.
I / am / no / longer of / this / world I / am / of / elsewhere / I / search so with poetry I plot past fight future fear hurl walls of words stucco in staccato of stolen speech
I fight meta narrative didactic dialectic thesis antithesis synthesis regurgitate repeat swallow stay hold stop keep the sec-ond: spin-ning circ-les vi-brate fast e-nough to stay in one spot. BY julian fleetwood ACT

About me: Sylvie is currently working as a radio announcer/dj but has broad experience across a wide range of art forms as a manager, an events co-ordinator, publicist, a curator, an arts, design, music and mixed media adviser for grants (and residencies and funding) a promoter, a performer and a radio presenter dj. Sylvie has an unfounding reputation for encouraging, nurturing and "telling it as it is" (gently) so that artists can truly rely on her to show them what's needed to progress forward in their own path and is trusted by many. She has created and managed many hybrid arts events supporting artists professional and emerging, while in Canberra and she has instigated and arranged a myriad of performance installation events combining music, visual art, sculptural installations, mixed media, theatre and contemporary dance. It's since '94 that Sylvie has made her mark in Canberra by adding major changes in the nightclub scene as well as to arts policies by bringing in and nurturing a creative arts element to nightclubs which had not been done in there before in quite the same way before, at Heaven Nightclub. Since closing the doors on nightclub life has sporned many nights around town all of which are a continuation of the nights that Sylvie put on in the three different rooms that she built at the club specifically to harbour the possibility to create different themes. It has not been continued in Canberra in quite the same way of all being under the same roof / umbrella but has definitely continued in different venues in identical ways. She is seen as a Canberra club pioneer who has been unstinting in promoting young artists and in trying to foster crossover between the club, site specific locations and the art scene. With her tireless work Sylvie eventually put Canberra on the map as a city with an awareness of an underbelly hub of activity in Australia and is now included as a touring stop on the east coast alongside Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Sylvie contributed hugely to the underground scene that she found when she arrived in Canberra, and she still does, and began to grow it dramatically with it still thriving to this day with the next generation that came up through her guidance. It is a true testamony to the work that she has achieved all along presenting her varied art's shows on 2xx FM. She also carved out successfully the on-going opportunity of bringing acts in from interstate and overseas on a regular basis. Many had tried before her to maintain this but though there were successes here and there Sylvie cemented it. All of this manifested through her work on radio as well as at Heaven Nightclub which created a national and international reputation (it also helped by being the first nightclub in Canberra to have a website).. and now another 9 years down the track she is still creating memorable events in site specific locations as d'eventi productions, involving and combining a myriad of artist's art-work for each event. It was also important to her that she pass on the know-how to "up and coming" musicians, djs, painters, performs and promotors, showing them the ropes and paving the way for an emerging new scene to continue, and who are to this day keeping that legacy alive. Other art/performance/mixed media events apart from Heaven: 1994 -2000 that Sylvie designed and orchestrated are the Kahlo Club - National Gallery of Australia based on Freida Kahlo; Side Long Glance a music & multi media event, artbeat-Canberra Theatre Centre during the Festival of Contempory Art for the Under 27s program, created the Blackartz Day Out Festival with Garry Gordon showcasing local, regional and national indigenous musicians and artists, Shooting Starr Productions at the Gypsy Bar; Pulse Nights, worked on the 2xx fm team of Splash Out International Womans Day Festivals, helped raise $25,000 dollars over 6 years at Heaven Nightclub for International World Aids Day Fundraiser performance events for the Trevor Daley Fund which helps people with paying food costs and bills so that they can choose to remain at home and not go to hospital, created the Creatures of The Night in the art deco bar and dining room of Old Parliament House combining local and interstate performers and the Summer Sunday Sessions for local musicians in their outdoor characteristic courtyards there as well.
Sylvie studied music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, jazz department, in the 80s, but left after a year to study voice for three years with European teacher Professor Philipsborn who only worked with professional singers already on the charts working his rock/pop pupils in morning sessions ironing out cracks in order to sound better than good when performing at a night time gigs; she has worked and performed internationally as a singer in London at Point Studios Recordings for 2 years and in New York where she lived for 9 and a half years doing studio and stage session work - Hot Sounds Studios Chelsea NYC and downtown clubs and bars like CBGBs, The Ludlow Street Cafe, The Knitting Factory. The influences and undercurrents in her voice are steeped in Motown. She was also involved and in staging band and art installations for warehouse parties in Manhatten with Jammin Number One Inc. and underground street reggae jams (reggae meets motown)down in the meat packing district downtown, the East Village, Ludlow Street and Brooklyn. -
A few special moments for her:- backstage before a gig with blues legend Bo Didley, having Bo suddenly say: "man you know what i like about you is that i haven't met someone with your energy since i knew Janis Joplin".. a big shout out to bass player extraordiaire Debbie Hastings, much love..at a sound check in New York for Joe Cocker at the Bottom Line, Joe was having a trouble. He stopped suddenly & turned around to Debbie and arrogantly said " .. f**k this shit i have "never" sung in front of a female bass player before" Debbie quick on the uptake came back with .. "well i've never played behind a plummer before man".
Recording harmonies with the Four Tops gathered around a suspended over-head mic and being so elated and totally part of the warm thick sound that was being created and being transported and locked into such a special zone by the wall of sound that the harmony created, but still being aware of having to really concrentrate while trying to focus (and stop smiling) and hold on to the harmony and not get too elated then blow it by being swept away by it .. it was such an incrediably special moment in time and while Lawrence Payton was still alive who was the driving force of the group.
Sylvie is currently working as a singing teacher and a publicist and for the past 12 years has presented the arts and music on programs Artbeat, Art'n'Soul, Hot Buttered Pop Corn and the Thursday Drive Time show on Radio 2XX 98.3fm. Sylvie has worked in the music industry as far back as the early 80s for CBS Records Sydney, The Basement Jazz Club - a shout out to Chris Richards and Bruce Viles
and coordinating special music events for under privileged kids bring them to street parties and outdoor stadiums alongside venues such as the Sydney Hilton and more recently in Canberra at Boomanella Oval Narrabundah.
She has a diverse range of experience and currently is producing 10 minute radio packages profiling musicians and bands nationally and locally for broadcast.
She is part of the ACT Festivals Advisory Funding Committee, was appointed as a member of the ACT Cultural Council for three terms and participated in the forums on live-music issues facing the local sector conducted by Shane Breynard for government. Sylvie has managed to be an invaluable service to the arts and music community in helping people on a grass roots level to understand processes more effectively so they can utilize the system and get deserved funding. Sylvie is also well known for her work and support in guiding emerging and grass roots artists and musicians by helping and teaching them how to achieve the next level of their career paths. Currently taking time to help her little old mum remain at her own little home and to stay vital and interactive with groups of friends as she helps her to sustain a level of dignity for as long as possible while her mum lives with regressing dementia. Thanks to the help of the many extraordinary service providers in Canberra she is doing well for now. But .. though her work load has lesson temporarily, you can still hear Sylvie with her fingers in the pie on 2xx 98.3fm / www.2xxfm.org.au on Wednesdays 2:00pm - 6:00pm as she still helps and advises and guides people how to prevent pitfalls and giving them the voice that they often don't get from anyone else for their work to be seen and heard and appreciated.
