Weekly Theme – Nothing but the Stars

June 27, 2016 Feminatronic

Playlist #65 is a journey around the Cosmos.
This playlist focusses on the Stars and Cosmos. It gives a chance to spotlight mostly but not exclusively, Ambient Space, Drift and Drone music where women have been generally under represented, although I am discovering there are more out there than I realised. This is music to immerse yourself in and take time to listen for the nuances and changes.

Artists are – Iotronica, Suzanne Doucet, Zalys, Lomita, Joanne Gabriel, Isabel Porto Nogueira, Patrizia Mattioli, and Katlyn Aurelia Smith,

This is Electroacoustic in its’ purest form and beauty

“Commissioned and recorded by violinist Airi Yoshioka. Available for purchase on Albany Records: www.albanyrecords.com/mm5/merchant.m…_Code=TROY1305

Kyrielle is an invocation to the Virgin Mary. The title is from a medieval French poetic form based on the Kyrie (“God have mercy on us”). Since it has the French “elle” (“she”) embedded in it, the word Kyrielle can also evoke a female deity, not just the Christian Mary, but all compassionate female spirits such as the Chinese Kwan-Yin, the Japanese Kannon, and the Tibetan Tara.

I created the tape part on a Macintosh G4 computer, using C-Sound and ProTools.”

June 20, 2016 Feminatronic

This week the theme is Electroacoustic music, spurred on by a series of articles in New Music Box. Firstly, The Opportunity of Electroacoustic Musicology

and secondly, Alice Shields’ thoughts on Electroacoustic music today –

-Structural and Playback Issues in Current Electroacoustic Music | NewMusicBox:

Playlist#27 highlights Electroacoustic artists. This is just the tip of the Iceberg as the range of music creation covers everything from Tape, Minimalism, Music Concrete, Sound Art and Installation to name a few but all are using electronic sound production and applying them to compositional practice.
Artists on this playlist are –
Caroline Park, Marina Vesic, Miki Yui, Delphine Dora and Bruno Duplant, SonicBright, Marlene Radice, Olivia Block and Julia Teles.

Review Reblog – Kasper T. Toeplitz & Anna Zaradny ~ Stacja Nigdy w Życiu — a closer listen

June 20, 2016 Feminatronic

How to best translate the live experience to the vinyl experience? Play it loud. Having been (pleasantly) deafened by Anna Zaradny at the Unsound Festival a few years back, I was heartened to hear two new LPs from the artist this season: the current collaboration with Kasper T. Toeplitz on Aussenraum and a solo set on Musica Genera / Bocian Records. […]

I can always count on A Closer Listen to expand my musical journey in new directions and this fits with the theme this week of Electroacoustic music.
