TODAYS’ DISCOVERY – SYRPHE WEBSITE AND LITTER
The Syrphe site is a treasure trove of wonderful electronic and experimental music and soundscapes from mainly Africa and Asia and was spotlighted by @reaktorplayer on Twitter. I thought that I would take some time this month and through May, to discover for myself and bring you some gems of female artists that are producing creative electronic music from these areas of the world, beginning with Litter aka Elyse Tabet an audio-visual artist based in Beirut, Lebanon. As Syrphe says – “In her first album, omnipresent is the image of a machine running out of power while passing through a stream of hazy, often almost melodic sonic landscapes.”
