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?

Review Reblog – Phantasm Nocturnes – Ehoes From The Abyss

October 31, 2016 Feminatronic

Since it’s Halloween….

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Phantasm Nocturnes
title: Echoes From The Abyss
cat: Petroglyph 053
keywords: dark, experimental, noise, drone, ambient, psy-electronic
label: Petroglyph Music http://petroglyphmusic.com/

When the first tones crawl in your ears it’s a mist of foggy darkness. Slowly creepy electronic swamps appear where mutated frogs and other creepy crawlers are hiding out in the wet and damp environment. At the end it feels like this atmosphere has come out of an magical didgeridoo with special transporting powers. “Awakenings” is more visual than a nature program on discovery channel!

The bewildering nature of darkness shaped by the artist is not going to let you run for the nearest exit. The soundscape surrounds you and keeps you exactly where it wants you to be. Trapped in a mysterious world of abnormal darkness that is fascinating as well as it sounds dangerous. The giant depth that has been created over here feels like…

Event News -CALL FOR PAPERS & WORKS – SOUND AND MUSIC IN DOCUMENTARY FILMS — DESARTSONNANTS – SONOS//FAIRE

October 24, 2016 Feminatronic

International Symposium Sound and Music in Documentary Film 23-24 February 2017 The University of Huddersfield, Queensgate, Huddersfield, UK Early film was dominated by ‘actualities’, short silent films that delighted viewers with their simple representation of everyday things and events. They are the first examples of what was to become the documentary. As the medium evolved, […]

Todays Discovery – Sonic Environment Waves (July 2016) — MAKING WAVES

October 17, 2016 Feminatronic

This month we’re delighted to have Dr. Leah Barclay, Co-Chair of Sonic Environments, and President of the Australian Forum for Acoustic Ecology , guest-curate this playlist: Sonic Environment Waves. About the playlist, Leah writes: This playlist features composers who are working in innovative ways with place, environmental sound and new technologies. It has been curated to […]

via Sonic Environment Waves (July 2016) — MAKING WAVES

“Making Waves is a monthly series of curated playlists streaming one hour of quality, new composed music. Founded in 2015, Making Waves shines a spotlight on the music of Australian composers. Fresh playlists are released on the first day of each month and older playlists are made available all year round via our archives; perfect for those with just a few minutes to explore one track or for hours perusing a myriad of diverse sound-worlds.”

Not solely electronic. Much is Classical music and / electroacoustic but increasingly there are electronic elements in the compositions and a great introduction to Australian composers. Really recommend listening to the beautifully presented playlists.

Review Reblog – Katie Gately ~ Colors

October 10, 2016 Feminatronic

Really recommend Katie Gately – Intelligent electro pop with an experimental edge.

a closer listen

Color is a glorious explosion of dance beats, percussive samples, and vocal layers, close to overload, threatening to topple like a Jenga tower. And yet, by her meticulous control and sheer force of will, Katie Gately holds it all together. One of the decade’s most creative artists, she’s managed to translate her avant-garde visions, formerly on display in quarter-hour works, to something even the masses may appreciate.

Let’s face it: pop music is in need of an overhaul, and experimental music can be wonderful, but all too often goes unheard. One thing that holds pop music back is the desire for a hit; one thing that holds experimental music back is the desire not to cross over. Gately exists somewhere in the middle, simply making the music she likes. A lifelong collector of sounds, her former work as a sound editor led her to the reorganization and presentation of sonic…

Review Reblog – Murcof x Wagner – Statea (Infiné)

October 3, 2016 Feminatronic

“This is where electronic and acoustic music find the perfect balance – which is precisely what Statea represents.” – Headphone Commute

Yes. Here’s the review…

So I guess the Infiné label wasn’t just teasing us when it promised its fans a full-length album, following the announcement of the EP01 release it has put out earlier this year (April, 2016)…

Todays Discovery – Pioneering Canadian Women In Electronic Music

September 30, 2016 Feminatronic

Pioneering Canadian Women In Electronic Music

“Recent lists of pioneering women in electronic music have bolstered the fact that women were right there making significant work during the nascence of electronic music, from the late ’50s to ’70s, on a quest for sounds and sequences never heard before. Yet most of the women who helped pioneer electronic music in Canada don’t pop up in those lists….”
