LISTENING TO /Reblog – A Sense of Place: Bluets by Ah! Kosmos & Büşra Kayıkçı — Stationary Travels

Absence makes the heart grow fonder may have become a hackneyed phrase over the years, but it acknowledges a poignant truth that is at the heart of a remote collaboration between sound artist & composer Başak Günak, aka Ah!

PIONEERS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC

I went down a rabbit hole this afternoon since it’s my tenth birthday : )

I shouldn’t have favourites but Bebe Barron is definitely top of my list of Pioneers of Electronic Music.

10 YEARS OLD

Apparently Feminatronic is 10 years old. I can’t really believe that I am still here…

It’s so old it won’t embed but it still plays well ; D

KAIJA SAARIAHO

1952 – 2023

It is with sadness that I learnt of the death of Kaija Saariaho. There are others more eloquent and knowledgeable than me, who have written obituaries to match her importance in the pantheon of composers.

All I can say is that personally, her music was one of the first where I discovered the beauty of the natural world encapsulated in sound and composition, using both orchestral and electronic instruments.

As my blackbird sings in the garden this morning, somehow, I hear a connection between his song and her songs.

Composer, electronic, opera, electroacoustic, orchestral, chamber music, innovator, pioneer.
