VentilThose who only know Peter Kutin from last year’s excellent sound collage Burmese Days may be surprised at the sound of the new label founded by Kutin and Peter Kindlinger.  Only one of the first two releases is field recording related, and even the untreated Decomposition morphs into an electronic work by the time it has ended.  But only a few years ago, both were part of the quartet dirac, whose drone-like, single-track album Phon is still one of our favorites.  In Kutin / Kindlinger / Kubisch, the participants’  names are no longer obscured.  The label’s other preliminary project, Ventil, hides the names of drummer Katharina Ernst and visual artist Conny Zenk, but we suspect it would have been confusing to call the quartet Kutin / Kindlinger / Ernst / Zenk.

SUNDAY MIX – SOMETHING DIFFERENT

So, I had a think about the Sunday Mixes…and I think to allow them to breathe and get some space, I am going to post one a month, starting with this month and this is a little different as I am highlighting a Poetry website and SoundCloud page from a Modern Pianist –

I have reblogged Lindy Karpestras’ poetry below but via her SoundCloud page I have discovered the ambient artist  Madeleine Cocolas

AFRICAN AND ASIAN SEASON – SYRPHE

syrphe

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.

SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT – CARO C

This is a new idea I am trying here, to spotlight the SoundCloud pages of artists, many but not all, only have their SoundCloud pages as their web presence, especially new or under the radar artists and so this is another means to give a bit of a boost  and shine a light on their music.

This week the artist is  Caro C
