I am an electronic musician who, as someone recently said to me, set up Feminatronic to act as "soft PR" for female electronic artists from all genres and styles. If I can give a little helping hand then why not?

Ora 19 : Against Interpretation : 26 February

Ora 19 : Against Interpretation
Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin
26 February 2015
8pm
Resonance104.4fm

In Against Interpretation Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin borrow the title from Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking 1964 essay to read, play and perform a number of texts and sounds in close sequence and then start a conversation. Mike Kelley with Sonic Youth’s Plato’s Cave, Rothko’s Chapel, Lincoln’s Profile performance and an excerpt from Coil’s The Angelic Conversation featuring one of Shakespeare’s Sonnets are juxtaposed with words by Georges Bataille and Clarice Lispector, not to interpret according to given rules or expectations, but to offer a plurality of openings and possibilities into listening to sound and writing after sound.

Finding My Voice While Listening to John Cage

As with the whole of this series very interesting and well worth reading all the articles.

Gendered Voices widgetEditor’s Note: Today I bring you installment #4 of Sounding Out!‘s blog forum on gender and voice! Last week Regina Bradley put the soundtrack of Scandal in conversation with race and gender. The week before I talked about what it meant to have people call me, a woman of color, “loud.” That post was preceded by Christine Ehrick‘s selections from her forthcoming book, on the gendered soundscape. We have two more left! In the next few weeks we’ll have A.O. Roberts with synthesized voices and gender, and lastly Robin James with an analysis of how ideas of what women should sound like have roots in Greek philosophy.

This week guest writer and professor Art Blake shares with us a personal essay. He talks about how his experience shifting his voice from feminine to masculine as a transgender man intersects with his work on John Cage. So, lean in…

ACL 2014: Top Ten Field Recording & Soundscape

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

ShadowField recordings and soundscapes do much more than reflect the sounds of nature.  They also delve into local culture and artificial sound environments; they serve as travelogues, historical statements, and calls to political action.  An environment once captured is never the same, and some are disappearing.

An exemplary field recording captures a specific place lodged in a fragment of time.  An exemplary soundscape edits sources to tell a larger story, opening a window to let the light in.  Each sub-genre serves as reflection and metaphor.  When combined, the ten releases on this list offer a fine cross-section of sound that is available in the outer world as well, if only we would listen.

And now, in alphabetical order, A Closer Listen presents the Top Ten Field Recording and Soundscape Releases of 2014.

Audient (adjective) listening; paying attention

This session will be a collaborative sound making performance, created by the participants. There will be no fixed audience; each of us will shift between the two roles of performer and audience, aiming to spend as much time listening as playing. We will move freely around the gallery between the four rooms and stairs. Each of these five areas will contain a one-word written instruction to the performers as a focus for improvisation and in order to create five distinct sound worlds. Those in the role of audience are encouraged to respond to the music with a word, phrase or drawing. These documents will then become instructions for the next performers in that space. In this way, during…
