A very short post to let you know that FACT made a mini-documentary on my live approach while I was at Mutek in Montreal on 3 June, you can see the interview and live footage below and read the article here 🙂
via FACT mini-doc on my live approach — colleen
Interesting short piece about the tech and processes used by Colleen in live concerts, that combines the old with the new to create new sounds and textures.
If there is one thing the eleven year history of Serein tells us, it is that the Welsh label does not put out a release unless it is something special – just consider records like Pine by Olan Mill, Retold by Nest or Charcoal by Brambles. That makes their first new material published this year a tantalizing […]

Feminatronic #70 is a playlist of “minimalist” tracks but that does not mean they that have little going on sonically,(sound , noise or voice), you just have to listen for the nuances and there is a lot more going on under the surface. Possibly, you might like to listen with headphones to get the full effect.
Artists on this playlist are –
Hyaena Fierling, Patrizia Mattioli, Miniature Zebra, Queef, Ola Saad, Crys Cole, Rachel Lancaster and Christine Webster.
Artist of the Week is Jo Thomas
“Jo Thomas is an award winning London based composer who choses to work through sculpting electronic sound into an aural tapestry of technological,biological and emotional states. Her work is based around human fallibility, she chooses to represent the human in sound with a discourse of delicate and detailed sonic failure using a sophisticated combination of micro sound, micro tonal and glitch material.
She creates organic complex and beautiful music’s which are written specifically for spaces and different formats of music release.Her works exist in the extreme of large scale and miniature, striving to work with momentary engagement and long listening continuums.”
Looking through the myriad of reviews that I have to catch up on I came across Miss Cutter via YIKIS. The review of Four – Dimensional Dance Floor intrigued me by the title and you can read the review here .I know very little about this artist except she is from Buenos Aires and a brief comment that poorly translates as – I am not an artist, I am only weeping.
I like to listen to other releases if I can and came across her lo fi Baroque album which is Todays Discovery, which retains the original source music but with added other worldliness.
Out of the blue, I was asked if I would talk about Feminatronic and a few thoughts on some very important issues. It ended up quite a long read (it could have been longer). It’s presented in the inimitable style of YIKIS but it’s turned out better than I hoped and it spreads the word : )
Thank you YIKIS for asking me to do this. Also, for supporting and highlighting some diverse and eclectic female artists on your site who I may never have come across and may never have been able to spotlight.
Perhaps you have heard of Feminatronic, a website that is worth to be bookmarked as your eyes and ears will be receiving an almost unstoppable stream of interesting artists, music, articles and documentaries. To make it even more special; they all happen to be female. It’s in fact a celebration to them who make electronic music of all sorts, and for a music consumer it is also a celebration as the diversity and quality will always set you to discover one new thing after another.
^ these childhood friends are discovering things
Some people might think but why only females? It’s a good and reasonable question perhaps as why not a mixed crowd of electronic music and sound artists of all kinds? I believe it has to do with that unfortunately there is tons of electronic artists out there, but it seems to be a very male dominated world…

via Various Artists ~ Tiny Portraits — a closer listen
As A Closer Listen says…”Kate Carr is getting very good at this facet of presentation, blazing a trail for others to follow. By embracing the visual when continuing to embrace the digital and physical, she provides multiple doors through which the listener might enter.” Recommend listening to the other Tiny Portraits they really give a sense of place to a distant listener.
