Huddersfield July 8th – 9th 2017
A significant amount of data (on festivals, labels and clubs, union membership, academic conference attendance, and course application) concretely demonstrates that our music and sound industries are predominantly male and ethnically homogeneous (white). Research has shown how assumptions are made about who is associated with digital music and sound production practices, raising fundamental questions about how our environments and communities influence and shape them and our industries.
This weekend invites critical discourse on the activation of sound spaces in relation to gender, race, culture and identity. We seek to listen carefully to voices other than our own; to understand other experiences, activate safer spaces, create inclusive environments and collaborate on informed action. In particular we need to amplify the voices of people creating and producing independently without institutional support, to understand their perspectives and their views about how circumstance shapes practice.
This event is hosting performances, sound installations, short position papers and critical scholarly works that explore how industrial, non-industrial and individual music/sonic practices appropriate and shapes sound and technology.

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 […]

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, […]

1st October 2016
Just the tip of the iceberg.
A few of the women I have linked with in Electronic Music.
Feminatronic is following 822 on SoundCloud alone and it’s growing everyday.
Up until the 1st of October 1916 Ireland was on Dublin Mean Time, which was 25 minutes and 21 seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time. On that day, when England put its clock back by an hour for Winter, Ireland put its clock back by 35 minutes and ended the historic time difference between the two countries.
Mean Time is a collaborative art project inspired by this event and in particular by Countess Markievicz’s opposition to what she saw as one more act of colonial oppression: the imposition of a foreign time on what should have been a sovereign people.
The project is bringing ten professional female sound artists from Ireland and abroad to the historical location of Richmond Barracks in Dublin city, where 77 women were remanded after their involvement in the 1916 Rising- including Countess Markievicz herself.
They will perform a unique improvisation based on especially commissioned pieces on the theme of these lost 25 minutes and 21 seconds, for the anniversary of the abolition of Dublin Mean Time.
The event will combine contemporary music, performance art, radio art and electroacoustic composition, ‘clawing back’ time lost and imagining many possible future Irelands. The programme will be broadcast live on Nova, RTÉ Lyric FM.
The participating artists are Daria Baiocchi | Fiona Hallinan | La Cosa Preziosa | Vicky Langan | Úna Lee | Olivia Louvel | Jenn Kirby | Claudia Molitor | Gráinne Mulvey | Rachel Ní Chuinn
In addition, a series of free sound art workshops for all the family will also take place on the grounds of Richmond Barracks on Saturday 1st October. For more info: http://facebook.com/ meantime1916
Both performance and workshops are free but ticketed. To book please email: meantime1916@gmail.com
Mean Time is made possible thanks to the support of Dublin City Council and The Arts Council.

The World Listening Day 2016 theme is Sounds Lost and Found. All this week the focus will be on this theme and there will be a concentration on Field Recording.
World Listening Day 2016’s theme, “Sounds Lost and Found,” calls on reminiscing, listening and observing what changes in our soundscapes have occurred in recent decades—be it language, nature, technology, music or even silence itself.
Thinking about this, I have tried in this playlist to convey a theme of sounds associated with the colder parts of the world that are heating up rapidly due to Global Warming. These sounds are gradually being lost or will be, especially with the melting of ice caps. Ultimately, there is the shift from Ice and Snow to Water.
Artists on this playlist are – Nashim Gargari, Kate Carr, Karen Power, Bethan Parkes, Maile Colbert, Una Lee, Jana Winderen and A Rawlings.
The playlist is a loose interpretation of the melting of the ice caps and the transition of ice to water. Here Jana Winderen has sonically expressed this perfectly.
“Jana Winderen researches the hidden depths with the latest technology; her work reveals the complexity and strangeness of the unseen world beneath. The audio topography of the oceans and the depth of ice crevasses are brought to the surface.”
