The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, one of the sound effects units of the BBC, was created in 1958 to produce effects and new music for radio, and was closed in March 1998. Daphne Oram was a true pioneer of electronic music and this great gallery of photographs gives some great insight into the work being done at BBC.

Wanted to take a moment to thank those of our readers who lent their signatures to the petition to help Laetitia (Ars Sonor, iky iky) keep from being deported to Russia — something that would be a veritable death sentence, and surely is an institutionalized hate crime. For those of you haven’t had the chance to sign yet, that link will take you to the petition. The fight is not over, so I’m intending to write more reviews of Laetitia’s work…

In-depth interview and recommend Mary Ocher’s music – never an outsider.
What a gorgeous sound this release has. Slightly off kilter, in a good way, ambient with depth. Doe Eye is the ambient/electronic project of recording engineer & producer Maryam Qudus. All physical proceeds will be donated to the ACLU & Planned Parenthood.

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes
Today is International Women’s Day (March 8th 2017) and I put together this playlist of electronic music creators to celebrate as part of a week of Feminatronic overload on all platforms : )

“Anne-F Jacques creates microscopic worlds of whirring machines, steampunk flea circuses of motorized sonics birthed from her collection of mechanical discs and wheels (‘rotating surfaces’), meticulously calibrated and often adjusted with weights or blocks to interfere with their natural balance…”
A lovely overview / Introduction to the work of Anne – F Jacques –
Here are the last couple of Friday Focusses, which I forgot to post here –

Although it is International Women’s Day on Wednesday 8th, March, I’m posting up as much as I can this week on all platforms, to celebrate the achievements of electronic music creators.
Here are a few articles to start, that may be of interest –

The Voice of Moving Meditation – An Interview with Meredith Monk
This is a little different to my usual Discoveries as it does contain songs but it just caught my ear this morning and it is composed, arranged, produced and played by Mene Savasta, an artist from Buenos Aires.
“It is an intimate and experimental album where songs and freer compositions merge in an integral way. My voice and keyboards are orchestrated with soundscapes I recorded over recent years. At Campo Cercano, Mene Savasta sang, played synths and programmed sequences. The remaining orchestration are fragments of the aural enviroment, recorded at different times and places with a portable recorder.”
Campo cercano (Near-field) was released as a website that offers an interactive visual experience – http://www.campocercano.com/
How could I have not reblogged this? Thought I had, so apologies to all.
We believe we’ve found the perfect album for Mother’s Day! With Mutogibito, Dalot (Maria Papadomanolaki) returns to her roots, while celebrating the newness of motherhood. She’s made an album which her young daughter Athena will likely enjoy now and brag about later.
The endearing cover art (by Violetta Testacalda) is reminiscent of nesting dolls, with a mothering twist. Those dolls don’t cradle each other like these images do. The album sways with comfort, like a child in her mother’s arms; bells and mobiles abound; and in the end, a lullaby rocks the child to sleep.
While the gentle opening track (“s2s”) sounds like recent Dalot, the album’s key tracks “Tear” and “Lift” hearken back to an earlier time. In these pieces (and to a lesser extent, “Arrival”), one can hear hints of early shoegaze and post-rock. Yes, Dalot dares to use these vintage terms and bears them with pride. With…
