“You see more women taking charge as festival and event promoters [because] in order for this to change there needs to be more women organizing,” she says. “Soon, [gender inequities] will be a thing of the past.”
I hope so…

News – Fall Music Preview: Electronic – A Closer Listen
Plenty to look forward to here……
To dance is to forget one’s problems and to underline the vibrant nature of life. Our Electronic Preview points in the direction of the club, but even if one can’t get out there in public, there’s always the living room, the lawn, the car. Let’s say you were a robot beached on a distant island. Wouldn’t you still have a locked groove in your electronic heart? We know we would! The best beats of the season are waiting to be discovered in the largest of our five fall previews.
Our cover image is taken from Peter Brown’s The Wild Robot, one of the finest YA books in recent memory. A sequel, The Wild Robot Escapes, will be published next spring. For more on Brown and the Wild Robot series, visit his website here.

Reblog Interview – Step Right Up: Ekin Fil
“What I mean is music was a part of my growing up as a person and i want it to be that way always.”
—Ekin Fil
Words: Mark Carry
PHOTOS BY ERİNÇ GÜZEL
Turkish solo artist Ekin Fil has been carving out some of the most breath-taking and beguiling drone pop explorations these past few years, inhabiting the deep, ethereal dimension of Grouper’s Liz Harris and navigating the deepest depths of the human condition in the process. On the latest opus ‘GhostsInside’ – released earlier this summer on Los Angeles imprint Helen Scarsdale Agency – an undeniable catharsis permeates deep within these recordings: fragile vocals shimmer gently amidst spare elements of piano notes or reverb laden guitar swells, creating utterly hypnotic drone pulses and far-reaching shoegaze deconstructions.
The opening ripples of bass piano notes of ‘LetGo’ hang in the air- an ocean of…

Reblog – Pioneer Spirits: New media representations of women in electronic music history
“Pioneer Spirits: New media representations of women in electronic music history” is a new important article by Frances Morgan in the current issue of Organised Sound, Vol. 22, Issue 2 (Alternative Histories of Electroacoustic Music) August 2017, pp. 238-249.
Teresa Rampazzi is numbered amongst those composers previously “either ignored or thought to be marginal […]. Some media representations of the female electronic musician raise concerns for feminist scholars of electronic music history. Following the work of Tara Rodgers, Sally MacArthur and others, [Frances Morgan considers] some new media representations of electronic music’s female ‘pioneers’, situate them in relation to both feminist musicology and media studies, and propose readings from digital humanities that might be used to examine and critique them”.
