WEB FOCUS – SONICTERRAIN

Sonic Terrain

As the site states –

“Sonic Terrain is dedicated to explore the reality of sound, encouraging to not just hearing it, but to listening to it (and recording it) for reflection, relaxation, art, science, etc, valuing sound as a fundamental element that is practiced and studied by an incredibly wide array of professions: laypeople, sound designers, multi-media artists, philosophers, musicians, scientists, researchers, ecology conservationists, educators and many more. That’s why Sonic Terrain aims to offer a place for those disciplines to be cross-pollinated in order to expose everyone to aspects of sound, recording and reality they may not have considered yet.”

A huge resource for all things sound and here are a couple of tasters:

AFRICAN AND ASIAN SEASON – SYRPHE

1 Comment

These are the final posts for the season on Feminatronic centred around African and Asian Electronic Artists, which began with the discovery of the Syrphe website and label.

The Syrphe site is a treasure trove of wonderful electronic and experimental music and soundscapes from mainly Africa and Asia. I thought that I would take some time through May to discover for myself and bring you some of the creative electronic music gems female artists are producing. It has led me on a trail of discovery, which I hope to continue to bring you in the future.

In the meantime, I hope that you have enjoyed listening as much as I have.

Liz-helman

Studio guest on Friday 20th MArch will be Liz Helman: tune into NTS from 8am to 10am.

Liz Helman is a London-based artist and independent curator working across different media, including photography, video and sound. Manipulating her own recorded and found sound, she constructs atmospheric sound pieces, and in all her time-based media works, she explores the psychological and emotional attachment to place and dwelling. Journeying between recollection and reality, she challenges format driven orthodoxies, fragmenting and layering image and sound to consider the experience of dislocation and displacement.

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.”
