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?

Update

Occasionally, I put finger to keyboard and write a few words to let you all know that I am not a robot.

I am about to take down my artist pages, only temporarily until the new year, so I can update them, add artists and try to keep up with all the women who create electronic music that I have come across. It proves to me that there are “many many women” out there and it’s growing all the time, which is great.

In the meantime, there are some wonderful resources and lists which I am going to post here and elsewhere, so over Christmas if you want some reading or listening….

Reblog – a requiem for pauline oliveros

Cannot underestimate the importance of Pauline Oliveros as an artist, mentor and human being. She seemed to touch so many people’s lives and was, but will continue to be a titan in the pantheon of electronic pioneers.

“Graham Dunning’s Fractal Meat on a Spongy Bone radio show is a constant inspiration in its tireless exhumation of new exploratory music and sound art. December 2016 marks the show’s fifth birthday and to celebrate Dunning has made all the music from his associated Fractal Meat label free to download for the rest of the year.“

Today’s Discovery -Album of the Day: Mica Levi and Oliver Coates, “Remain Calm” — Bandcamp Daily

“Remain Calm” is steeped in classical music, yet keen enough to blend contemporary styles—like grime, techno and drone.

Review Reblog – Svetlana Maraš and Bodies Under The Waterfall ~ Angry Ambient Artists Vol. 2

Yes, you can be an angry ambient artist and this expresses the mood at the moment.
“What to do with all this anger?  The healthiest approach is to channel it into something positive” – Couldn’t agree more.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

fwd16_frontThere’s been a lot of news to be angry about this year, from terrorism to Brexit to the U.S. presidential elections to the ongoing crisis in Syria.  What to do with all this anger?  The healthiest approach is to channel it into something positive, which Svetlana Maraš and Bodies Under The Waterfall do in the second installment of Forwind’s Angry Ambient Artists series ~ ironically, once again ending up in the Drone category.  As the series progresses, we may determine that “angry ambient” is an oxymoron, but it’s still a catchy title.

Quand un accordéon se tait ! Disparition de Pauline Oliveros — DESARTSONNANTS – SONOS//FAIRE

For one deep Listening Pauline Oliveros, décédée le 25 novembre à l’age de 84 ans, fut incontestablement une très grande dame de la musique contemporaine, expérimentale, minimaliste et de ce que l’on nomme aujourd’hui les arts sonores. Son accordéon ne soufflera plus à nos oreilles ses longues mélopées, ses drones envoûtants, ses accords resserrés, cette […]
