To try to get as many artists some visibility I have been posting compilations. Again, this is not an exhaustive list and are just suggestions of starting points . I may add to it in future.
In no real order or preference and yes, some are diverse….
Latin American sound explorations.
Experimental noise, noisecore, speedcore, harsh noise, noise wall, power electronics Vancouver
A monstrous compilation but only a fraction of french contemporary sound creativity.
Inspired by the new scene of independent female artists and electronic music producers from South America.
An experimental music compilation featuring ten female composers from far east Asia (Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, China).
This multi-genre compilation was inspired by Ionesco’s play ‘Rhinoceros’ with various artists voicing their protest via sound.
Experimental, ambient, electroacoustic, industrial, noise, ritual.

The title expresses everything in a good way..
Reblog – Album of the Day: Phew, “Voice Hardcore” — Bandcamp Daily
“Her latest album, Voice Hardcore, takes this to the extreme. It features nothing but the sound of Moritani’s voice, often layered on top of itself or warped into new forms.”
