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?

NEW YEAR: 10 YEARS

Firstly, I would like to wish you all the best for the New Year. A bit belated, I know, due to unforeseen circumstances but let’s hope that 2023 is better than last year for many.

On the positive side, there have already been some new and interesting releases and let’s hope that this continues, especially as 2023 also marks 10 years of Feminatronic. I’m not sure how to mark this milestone but for now I’m carrying on .

So, on with the New Year… and the new releases

AN ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS LISTENING PLAYLIST

As christmassy as I get : )

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes
A very alternative Christmas playlist. I’ve adapted an old playlist with a few changes but it is still as Christmassy as I get : )
I could have added so many to this playlist and as I always say as with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next….follow up on “sounds like”….see who’s following, many artists follow other artists……


Artists are – A Robin, Christine Ott, Daphne Oram, Matana Roberts, Saira Raza, Christina Vantzou, Anda Volley, Julia Kent, Delphine Dora, Fiona Soe Paing, Karen Power, Karen Gwyer, Marlene Claudine Radice, Leah Kardos, Yoko Ono, Gael Segalen, Alyssa Moxley.

….. and without fail, no Christmas is Christmas without this little gem

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year

THESE HAVE BEEN RELEASED THIS YEAR pt1

Well, it’s coming towards the end of 2022, and this is the time that many of us will sit and look back and wonder where it all went.

I used to do a thing called I Don’t Do Lists, but someone pointed out that technically they were, even though I have never had placings, best of, worst etc, so this year I am just putting out my end of year listening’s from 2022.

Reblog – Loraine James ~ Building Something Beautiful for Me — a closer listen

NYC in the 60s, 70s and 80s was a melting pot of different cultural genres and a meeting point for important figures in contemporary music. The scene was filled with many artists whose influential body of work has been written about and extensively taught in formal academic curricula across the world.  On the flip side, […]

Loraine James ~ Building Something Beautiful for Me — a closer listen

I have loved Julius Eastman’s Femenine since first hearing it earlier this year and this release by Lorraine James is indeed building on something beautiful, taking the essence of Julius Eastman’s art and making something reflective, minimalist and new.

PLAYLIST #197 – VOICE/LONGLISTEN

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –
Sometimes tracks are just too long for the usual playlist I put together, so I decided to put together bite sized playlists for longer tracks.
Bite sized in number of artists but not scrimping on the length and quality of the listening : )
Experiments in sound, where artists have created, in essence, music, pieces, sound and noise that try to go beyond the usual and traditional.
Sound uttered with resonance……sometimes with added processing.
Take some time and immerse in the sound waves.

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next…. follow up on “sounds like”…. see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….

Artists are Lily Greenham, Catherine Street, Ingrid Plum, Pamela Z, Viv Corringham and Joan LaBarbara.
