THE CLASSICAL THEREMIN CHANNEL
Mirjam Tally

“Sound is central in Tally’s creations. Her music is a flow of playful contrasts where a sense of humour and poetic use of sound are blended to mix. Beside writing works for contemporary music scene, she is active as a film composer. Her earlier works are mainly for chamber ensembles and electronics. In recent years, importance of orchestral music has increased in her oeuvre. Sometimes she uses elements of jazz, folk and pop, Nordic or exotic instruments (Estonian kannel, didgeridoo, tanpura, accordion and others) and treats sound material with a modernist open mind.
She has graduated from the Estonian Academy of Music as a student of Lepo Sumera in 2000. Since 2006, Tally lives on the island of Gotland, Sweden. In 2009-2010, she was Composer in Residence at Swedish Radio P2 channel. Since 2012, her orchestra works are published by Gehrmans Musikförlag.” www.mirjamtally.com

SPOTLIGHT ON THE THEREMIN
Excellent article from the BBC News site
Leon Theremin – The Man and the Music Machine
Electronic music pioneer Robert Moog built theremins long before he built synthesizers. In the 1960’s, he produced such models as the wedge-shaped Vanguard theremin and the shoebox shaped Moog Melodia theremin. Today, Moog Music Inc. produces the popular Etherwave and Etherwave Plus theremins and kits as well as the new MIDI-enabled Theremini theremin. Other popular models today include PAiA’s Theremax and Burns’ line of B3 theremins.
Never Trust Cock Rock
Never Trust Cock Rock is a magazine and blog about women in electronic music, that merges articles from and about woman in the electronic music scene from the net. Founded in 2012 and situated in Leipzig the blog collects articles, links, pictures and music absolutely subjective. We are heading for a self-reflective music scene in Leipzig and other places, where dance crews, organizers and DJ’s understand activism not in terms of visible and invisible male majority and identity only.
So cut the prick in your head and enjoy reading.
