TODAYS DISCOVERY – Ars Sonor
REVIEW REBLOG -Ars Sonor – Sjöarna (Eg0_149)
Finally have got around to reblogging a few of the Yeah I Know it Sucks reviews of Ars Sonor : ))
TODAYS DISCOVERY – Deemer / Dee Byrne
Dee Byrne composes for and leads ‘space-jazz’ group Entropi (debut album, New Era was released on the F-IRE Presents label in June 2015), is one half of experimental electronics/sound art duo Deemer (debut album, Interference Patterns was released on Luminous Label in December 2015), is involved in numerous collaborations including six piece improvising electro-acoustic ensemble Zonica, eight piece saxophone ensemble Saxoctopus (debut album released on Raw Tonk Records in July 2015) and Word of Moth (debut album to be released on Luminous label in 2016). Dee also plays with Xantone Blacq (Platinum Fingers/Whirlwind) and the Soul Immigrants (P-Vine records Japan). She is co-founder of the acclaimed original and improvised music platform LUME with Cath Roberts and is Project Manager for the National Youth Jazz Collective.
Deemer employ, among other things, alto saxophone, drums, analogue electronics, tape, transducer microphones/speakers to instantly compose, activate space, and blur the boundaries between free jazz and sound installation.
TODAYS DISCOVERY – Gato Preto
Since the focus this week is on Duo’s, it gives me a chance to post tracks and artists that do not easily fit into Feminatronic mould, so to speak, in a strict sense but there is some very interesting music being created by duo’s that I cannot miss out, Gato Preto is one such group.
What can I say? Best leave it to them –
SOUNDCLOUD PLAYLISTS
Feminatronic is on Soundcloud,linking with as many artists from around the world, creating electronic music from as many genres as possible. Every Monday, I put together a playlist of usually 8 tracks, around a general theme and this week the focus is on Duo’s. Whatever your musical interests, there’s bound to be something waiting to be discovered.
TODAYS DISCOVERY – Haiku Salut
There has been a lot of publicity for the new Haiku Salut album Etch and Etch Deep but here is their debut as Todays Discovery, spurred on by the Yeah I Know it Sucks interview.
ARTICLE REBLOG – Reflections on music technology & gender
This is how it should work.
Set up a tiny website about an important issue and eventually one or two people like what you are doing and follow you. I visit their blogs and discover sites , articles and organisations of interest to me (and hopefully others). New connections and getting the voices heard to a wider audience. Here is my Discovery Today – Attack / Decay website. Will be posting more in the future : ))
An early morning cup of tea with a couple of my female co-workers – one of whom is a trained sound engineer – ended up turning into a deep and lengthy discussion about the gender politics of the music industry; specifically why women tend to be under-represented in the world of electronic music production and technology. It’s a question I’ve been reflecting on lately, (in the gaps between writing posts), noticing the patterns within my own writing, and the dominance of men in many of the events I write about.
….
The proliferation of relatively cheap music production software, as well as the ease of distributing music through online platforms, should represent a democratisation of music-making. The days of requiring large amounts of expensive analogue equipment and access to studios to produce an album are long gone. With even the most rudimentary studio set up, it is now possible…

TODAYS DISCOVERY – Sara Bigdeli Shamloo
I know very little about Sara Bigdeli Shamloo and I can’t recall how I came across her music but I’m glad I did. What I do know is that she is a Iranian vocalist / songwriter / composer and much of her work is in the theatre (correct me if I’m wrong). She is also a member of 2 bands – 9T Antiope and Migrain, the latter I have been listening to recently.
REVIEW REBLOG – Agnès Pe – Método para Enya: el fluir del Orinoco
Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for this review.
artist: Agnès Pe
title: Método para Enya: el fluir del Orinoco
keywords: enlightment, experimental, electronic, Enya, devotional, blinding, light, music, video, experimental
Agnès Pe is next to someone with experimental musical skills, an creative individual with a special gift. She has a special magical power that could potentially blind you, me and others. This she can do by pointing her hands in a way that a blinding ray of light could shoot out like bright laser beams.
I know it sounds ridiculous and I totally agree that you cannot make such a thing up… And that’s why it’s the truth, and nothing but the truth. Of course there is evidence, but this evidence comes with a great risk. In fact watching the evidence might be so damaging to your eyes, that it might be the last thing you will ever see. Is it worth the risk of losing your eye…
