An Album a Day #2

This is not totally different for me but last month I accepted the challenge, like many others, to listen to and write short notes on an album a day during February 2016. I thought I would post up these here as part of my Todays Discovery theme.

Not in any order of preference here are the next 5 –

JOANNA BROUK

Proving melodic instrumental electronic music is not ear candy –

ELIZABETH VELDON

Experimental avant garde electronic noise. What a great combination

WRTCH

Dark experimental voice noise…

KAREN GWYER

Mesmeric wormhole sucks you in…

APRIL LARSON

Like drifting on the Marie Celeste, in a good way…

REVIEW REBLOG – Listen: ACRE TARN – ‘Dawn Faces’

Here is Todays Discovery – Acre Tarn and recommend listening to her Soundcloud page.

Notes On Sounds's avatarNOTES, ON SOUNDS....

Hailing from The Lake District, Anna-Louisa Ehterington began impressing with her dreampop tunes last year with ‘Flex’ and ‘Lanterns.’ As ACRE TARN she’s been leading anyone who’ll follow down a rabbit hole that leads to a synth wonderland that’s hypnotic but propulsive enough to still get you dancing.

Her latest track ‘Dawn Faces’ doesn’t deviate too much from that already winning formula, instead pairing beautiful melodies and flittering synths together like we’ve become accustomed to. Still, it’s definitely not a sign of ACRE TARN slowing down, as ‘Dawn Faces’ might be her most engaging single yet; that’s in part due to the ethereal chanting Etherington adds and the weighty drums that keep the featherweight instrumentation grounded. Perhaps if Robyn spent a year listening to only the Cocteau Twins you’d get something that sounds like this. But Etherington beat her to it.

Listen to ‘Dawn Faces’ below.

REBLOG – Premiere: Tamara Filyavich ~ return fire

A CLOSER LISTEN is honored to present the online premiere of Tamara Filyavich’s return fire.

Tamara Filyavich presents return fire, a soundscape of analogue synthesizer, radio transmission and digital manipulation channeling the events of the Ukrainian revolution of 2013-2014. Filyavich has lived in Montreal for the past 20 years, after she and her family left the town on Yalta in the occupied Ukraine.  return fire is a reflection on childhood memories filtered through contemporary political struggles for social justice and free expression on the streets. This piece also includes variations on the Ukrainian choral piece “Plyve Kacha,” an  old Ukrainian folk song which was given new meaning after being played on Kiev’s central square during the funeral for slain opposition fighters in 2014.

She works as Arts and Culture Coordinator at CKUT radio 90.3 fm, Montreal’s community radio station, where she also co-hosts Radio is Dead?, a show…

The first annual Sounding Board sound exhibit was held at The Companion Gallery in Austin, Texas on December 3 – 6, 2015, as part of the 60th anniversary meeting of the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM). In the promotional literature for the show, the curator, Leonardo Cardoso (Texas A&M), described its objective: to give students, ethnographers, ethnomusicologists, and any “sound-minded” people an opportunity to share research and contemplate fieldwork from different perspectives. Cardoso hoped that SEMSoundingBoard would “stimulate dialogue between ethnomusicology and other fields, especially sound studies, sound art, ecomusicology, anthropology, and media studies.” He also sought to facilitate interaction between the local community in Austin and SEM scholars who traveled to attend the conference.

Off for a lie down…

 

Here is this years Christmas playlist and in typical Feminatronic fashion it’s not your usual Christmas list but sonically sounds like Christmas to me ( not sure what that says about me but hey ho : D).
Artists on this list are –
A Robin, Matana Roberts, Saira Raza , Sara Bigdeli Shamloo,Granit, Yullippe, Christina Vantzou, Sophie Cooper, Anda Volley and The Bug ft Liz Harris.

I might not be around much this holiday, so I just wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone who has liked, followed and commented on Feminatronic this past year, whatever platform you use.

I would also like to thank the Websites and Reviewers who have graciously let me plunder their writing expertise to bring News, Reviews, Interviews and New Discoveries.


You’re not supporting me personally, as such but the many creative women out there making music, sounds and noises using a multitude of electronic methods.

Finally, have a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year and hope you will stick with me for another year of discovery in 2016.

Best Wishes

TODAYS DISCOVERY – Sara Bigdeli Shamloo

Sara Bigdeli

I know very little about Sara Bigdeli  Shamloo and I can’t recall how I came across her music but I’m glad I did. What I do know is that she is a  Iranian vocalist / songwriter / composer and much of her work is in the theatre (correct me if I’m wrong). She is also a member of 2 bands – 9T Antiope and Migrain,  the latter I have been listening to recently.
