A MONTH OF ‘A’

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –

It’s 2023 and I’m taking stock this year and seeing how far I’ve come on my sonic journey, especially as it’s my 10th Anniversary year.
To make sure that I’m giving space for as many artists as possible and to try and discover new one’s, Feminatronic will be focussing on Artists alphabetically throughout the year on all platforms.
Here is an updated playlist for the letter A(pt1)…

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next….follow up on “sounds like”….see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….

Artists on playlist # 144 are Emeraldia Ayakashi, Arrebato, aag, Savannah Agger, {arsonist}, Antenes, Aardor, alodi, Damara Tawodi Arrowood, anomie, akioka, Astilbe, Auriea, Audri Acuna, Awwz, Aylu, Michele Abondano, Meryll Ampe, Laurie Anderson, AMET, Aschka, Clara de Asis, Julia Hanadi aLabed, Lydia Ang, AJA, Alica, ASTRID’sSOUNDSTATION, Laura Agnusdei, Katrine Amsler, Band Ane, Todas las Anteriores, Alisu, Eunice Artur and Ana -Maria Avram.

Just let some of the tracks play onto the next….follow up on “sounds like”….see who’s following, many artists follow other artists……

PLAYLIST #197 – VOICE/LONGLISTEN

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –
Sometimes tracks are just too long for the usual playlist I put together, so I decided to put together bite sized playlists for longer tracks.
Bite sized in number of artists but not scrimping on the length and quality of the listening : )
Experiments in sound, where artists have created, in essence, music, pieces, sound and noise that try to go beyond the usual and traditional.
Sound uttered with resonance……sometimes with added processing.
Take some time and immerse in the sound waves.

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next…. follow up on “sounds like”…. see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….

Artists are Lily Greenham, Catherine Street, Ingrid Plum, Pamela Z, Viv Corringham and Joan LaBarbara.

AUGUST 2022 LISTENING

During this long hot summer, like many, I have been preoccupied with other seemingly more pressing things than my website. Indeed, I am still trying to work out what to do with this site and also how to continue with Feminatronic.

That aside I have had a month of listening to music at night-time when it’s been cooler and often watching the sun set.

Here is Augusts listening, mostly (but not all) introspective, meditative and go well with the setting of the sun –
