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?

NORIENT

As NORIENT states –

Norient searches for contemporary music, sounds and noises from around the planet. We discuss current issues critically, from different perspectives, close to musicians and their networks. Through the Norient Online Magazine, the Norient Musikfilm Festival, performances, books, documentary films and radio programs we hope to orient and disorient readers, listeners and spectators. Find out about strong, fragile and challenging artistic positions in today’s fast moving globalized, digitized and urbanized world.

Visit the website and you could be lost for weeks. Music, Film and some very interesting articles that I will try to repost here in the future.

Here are a couple of samplers from the Soundcloud page , a great starting point but just scroll down there’s loads to discover-

REBLOG – This is what it sounds like when you turn antique telephone switchboards into musical instruments — Quartz

There was an eerie hum emanating from a dimly lit room above a bakery on a side street in Durham. In the corner of the room, Lori Napoleon sat next to a series of old switchboards, draped in wires and covered in blinking red lights. She’s controlling the switchboards, which are creating the droning sound…

ARTICLE REBLOG – SOUNDING OUT!

Each of the essays in this month’s “Medieval Sound” forum focuses on sound as it, according to Steve Goodman’s essay “The Ontology of Vibrational Force,” in The Sound Studies Reader, “comes to the rescue of thought rather than the inverse, forcing it to vibrate, loosening up its organized or petrified body (70). These investigations into medieval sound […]

REVIEW REBLOG -Christine Ott ~ Only Silence Remains — a closer listen

This is one beguiling record. It starts with opera and ends with poetry, and in the end, only silence remains. The opening soprano segment makes an immediate statement: this is not conventional music. By the middle of the set, one may forget this fact, but on “Tempête” it returns with a vengeance. The storied career of Christine […]

Todays Discovery -Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul

Thanks to Stationary Travels I got a Mental Exfoliation and my Discovery Today is the sublime Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul.
