PLAYLIST #197 – VOICE/LONGLISTEN

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –
Sometimes tracks are just too long for the usual playlist I put together, so I decided to put together bite sized playlists for longer tracks.
Bite sized in number of artists but not scrimping on the length and quality of the listening : )
Experiments in sound, where artists have created, in essence, music, pieces, sound and noise that try to go beyond the usual and traditional.
Sound uttered with resonance……sometimes with added processing.
Take some time and immerse in the sound waves.

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next…. follow up on “sounds like”…. see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….

Artists are Lily Greenham, Catherine Street, Ingrid Plum, Pamela Z, Viv Corringham and Joan LaBarbara.

WEB FOCUS – TSUKU BOSHI RECORDS

TSUKU BOSHI release experimental music in all its diversity: composed, improvised, electronic, acoustic, performed, mediated, concrete and conseptual. Based in Paris, France we work with local, national and international artists.

Tsuku Boshi Records seem to be releasing some of the most interesting sounds I listen to and their collaboration with the Fair_Play Network have produced some of my favourite releases this year –

Following the INCLUSIVES project, the Fair_Play network and Tsuku Boshi Recordshave decided to continue their joint adventure through a temporary collection presenting female and non-binary composers from various backgrounds: ]FairTsuku[ Each split album features two artists with a carte blanche.

Here is a short selection but I recommend you check them out.

Expect challenging but rewarding listening.

Reblog – Physical Reality as Processed Spirituality ~ An Interview With Fire-Toolz — a closer listen

Photo by Lyndon French, courtesy the artist David Murrieta Flores (ACL): Hi Fire-Toolz! To begin with, please talk to us a bit about how Fire-Toolz came into being, and how it relates to other projects you have (like Nonlocal Forecast or MindSpring Memories). Fire-Toolz (FT): Fire-Toolz was born when I decided to graduate from my […]

S IS FOR…pt1

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –
To make sure that I’m giving space for as many artists as possible and to try and discover new ones, I’m trying to make playlists of artists alphabetically throughout the year on all platforms.
Here is the letter S but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. I’m sure that I will have to make another.
As with all the playlists there are no preferences. They are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next…. follow up on “sounds like”…. see who’s following, many artists follow other artists……

Artists are Eki Shola and Yehu Salah, Strange Stains, Geneva Skeen, Sandunes, Shimmer Crush, Salama, Nicola Scrutton, Aida Shirazi, Hayley Suviste, Maryam Sirvan, Stevia Sphere, Sharon Stewart, Stonerpop, Madeleine Slaves, Justyna Stasiowska, Sabiwa, Jessica Sligter, Skoddie, Nadia Struiwigh, Heidrun Schramm, Mona Servo, Aleksandra Slyz, suzukian, SRA Synths by the Sea, Stekkerdoos, Soramimi, Anna Socoria,‡Starving Poet§, Sifonics, Sharkiface, Eva Schlegel, Lara Soulio and Slowspin.

AUGUST 2022 LISTENING

During this long hot summer, like many, I have been preoccupied with other seemingly more pressing things than my website. Indeed, I am still trying to work out what to do with this site and also how to continue with Feminatronic.

That aside I have had a month of listening to music at night-time when it’s been cooler and often watching the sun set.

Here is Augusts listening, mostly (but not all) introspective, meditative and go well with the setting of the sun –

LISTENING TO THIS MONTH

It’s been a bit quiet here at the moment. Having a rethink about this site and how to continue with Feminatronic but here are some recent releases and listening I have come across in the past month.

I have been concentrating on Night Listening on Twitter, so some of the releases are quiet and reflective but not all.

FOLLOW MY LEADER #16

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –


I’ve always added this short note to all the playlists –
As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next….follow up on “sounds like”….see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….
but I thought I’d put it into practice myself.
I started with the first artist and then followed the sound trail to other connected artists.

There is no preference on first choice or the sound trail but the playlist is always eclectic and it does give a chance for artists to be heard who may slip through the net : )


Beginning with Susan Campos, artists are jjjolll, Concepcion Huerta, Mabe Fratti, Slvj, Taticocteauselfie, Itzel Itzel, Teixido, Montse Perez Lima, Ana Mora, Klang Reverie, dibuk, S Ø M A , Marcela Lucatelli and Carmen Canale.
