International Symposium Sound and Music in Documentary Film 23-24 February 2017 The University of Huddersfield, Queensgate, Huddersfield, UK Early film was dominated by ‘actualities’, short silent films that delighted viewers with their simple representation of everyday things and events. They are the first examples of what was to become the documentary. As the medium evolved, […]

Not solely electronic. Much is Classical music and / electroacoustic but increasingly there are electronic elements in the compositions and a great introduction to Australian composers. Really recommend listening to the beautifully presented playlists.
Always eloquent and interesting….

Really recommend Katie Gately – Intelligent electro pop with an experimental edge.
Color is a glorious explosion of dance beats, percussive samples, and vocal layers, close to overload, threatening to topple like a Jenga tower. And yet, by her meticulous control and sheer force of will, Katie Gately holds it all together. One of the decade’s most creative artists, she’s managed to translate her avant-garde visions, formerly on display in quarter-hour works, to something even the masses may appreciate.
Let’s face it: pop music is in need of an overhaul, and experimental music can be wonderful, but all too often goes unheard. One thing that holds pop music back is the desire for a hit; one thing that holds experimental music back is the desire not to cross over. Gately exists somewhere in the middle, simply making the music she likes. A lifelong collector of sounds, her former work as a sound editor led her to the reorganization and presentation of sonic…

“This is where electronic and acoustic music find the perfect balance – which is precisely what Statea represents.” – Headphone Commute
Yes. Here’s the review…
So I guess the Infiné label wasn’t just teasing us when it promised its fans a full-length album, following the announcement of the EP01 release it has put out earlier this year (April, 2016)…

Just the tip of the iceberg.
A few of the women I have linked with in Electronic Music.
Feminatronic is following 822 on SoundCloud alone and it’s growing everyday.
Pioneering Canadian Women In Electronic Music
“Recent lists of pioneering women in electronic music have bolstered the fact that women were right there making significant work during the nascence of electronic music, from the late ’50s to ’70s, on a quest for sounds and sequences never heard before. Yet most of the women who helped pioneer electronic music in Canada don’t pop up in those lists….”

This article aims to rectify this.
Sometimes a reviewer hits the nail on the head and this review just seems to put into words the overall feeling of this release.
Artist: Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

this album starts like a young baby bird that is kindly being pushed out of its homely nest . It opens its tiny little wings and realizes that is had captured the miraculous ability to fly in the great sky. It is so happy that the bird starts to sing with wide wakened eyes along with a euphoric feeling of success. Within its little feathered body it realizes that the whole world is at its tiny feet!
Then the album moves on with its audio appreciative wings all over an intriguing scene of the wetlands. This is the place in which frogs & toads gather and fishes stick their heads out of the water to see and hear what this wonderful music is all about. It’s Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s music and she brings it all out to give the soggy landscape a…

In October 2013, Jodie released an album of sound snippets, most of them recorded for her Soundcloud sound blog project of 2013. The idea was to create a blog through sound only, each of the sounds put up were recorded quickly and spontaneously as snapshots of the day. They featured a mix of home recorded samples and found sounds, owls, vocal improvisations, makeshift percussion, electronic instruments, computer generated sounds, harmonies, and a ton of reverb. The album ‘Klepsydra’ features the majority of these sounds and also a few new recordings.

If you need some fresh air & some nature in your life with melodic atmospheres, but do not really feel like going out and exploring such real life things, or perhaps are living in the middle of a dense city; this pretty easy going release (found through Feminatronics) might be something for you.
12′ introduces the beautiful ear-sights of a soft field recording with friendly night crickets, and a little fine fresh breeze among the leaves. These are the first sounds of a really nice evening, one without any urban disturbance; making it an instant home pleaser for the homely people who are equipped with a nice audio set.
The work will continue with 4′ which consists of a pleasantly played warm melody seemingly made out of glass, (not broken but smooth)…
