Greetings and salutations once again! As the end of our first trimester for 2010 draws near, we would love to share some of the exciting news and highlights from SAE Institutes Australia wide. So far the year has proven to be an eventful one, and there is plenty more in store for the coming months. Currently we are busily gearing up for our next intake, which commences July 12th. Places are filling up fast but it’s still not too late to enrol. So if you have a spare moment read on, get inspired and apply today, and begin an exciting journey to a career in audio or film!

SAE Institute Australia is excited to announce the formation of the Australian Alumni Association chapter, which is set to be launched later this year. In the spirit of the global Alumni Association, our new local wing aims to provide SAE Australia graduates with a valuable network of audio and film industry professionals. SAE Australia recently played host to a series of seminars, with professional DJ/producer/sound engineer and Novation product specialist Adrian Pickard. Adrian’s clinics, which toured around SAE Australia campuses, demonstrated first hand how Novation controllers can be integrated into studio and performance set-ups, and SAE Adelaide streamed their workshop live via Soundpond.

Film News

In exciting film news from around Australia, students from SAE Perth recently had their short animation ”Bus Stop”, featured in the 10th anniversary issue of 3d Magazine. Film lecturer Burleigh Smith has been gathering an array of awards at festivals across the country including the Angry Film Festival in Melbourne and the Katoomba Short Film Festival, for his short film ”Then She Was Gone”. Film students once again had the opportunity to film the stages of the award wining Blues and Roots Festival in Byron Bay over the Easter weekend, capturing acts such as Jack Johnson, Crowded House and The Gypsy Kings. World environment day saw the launch of the inaugural National Whale Day in Byron Bay, a fundraiser for oceanic environmental warriors The Sea Shepherd, and our students were thrilled to be involved with filming the day’s festivities.

Audio News

Audio students have been working non-stop too, resulting in fantastic achievements such as for graduate Mike Warner and his team of co-producers The Phonatics. The Adelaide trio are currently enjoying much success with their remix of the Piper & Fernandez ft. Marvin Priest hit Rockstar which recently hit number three in the ARIA Club Chart. For the 5th year in a row, former SAE student Dave Parkin took out Best Record Producer / Engineer at the West Australian equivalent of the ARIAs, The WAMi’s, which also saw SAE graduate Stephanie Edwards win in the category of Best Management. Adam Grace, who has been lecturing audio at SAE Melbourne for the past 3 years, recently returned home from the States where he attended the Winter Music Conference (WMC) in Miami, an industry conference for electronic music that features seminars, panels, and events and club nights to showcase some of the biggest talents from around the world. Audio students were also given the chance to work at this year’s Blues Festival, assisting the audio engineers and helping stage crew with set-up.

SAE Spotlight

Conor Roberts who graduated from the Bachelor of Audio Production at Byron Bay’s SAE in 2009 has since found himself well and truly immersed in the dynamic realm of live sound engineering. After graduating, Conor found work sub-contracting as an engineer for both John Audio in Melbourne, and All Access Crewing based in Brisbane, and has gone on to work at a wide range of live shows for world-class acts such as Lady Gaga, AD/DC, The Prodigy, Empire of the Sun, Underworld and Paramore. In between working the festival and live sound circuit, Conor finds the time to lecture a few audio classes at SAE Institute Brisbane, giving students valuable insight into what being a live sound engineer really entails. From everyone here at SAE Institute, we bid you a fond farewell, stay safe and stay tuned until next time!

Kind regards,

SAE Institute Australia
