The first annual Sounding Board sound exhibit was held at The Companion Gallery in Austin, Texas on December 3 – 6, 2015, as part of the 60th anniversary meeting of the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM). In the promotional literature for the show, the curator, Leonardo Cardoso (Texas A&M), described its objective: to give students, ethnographers, ethnomusicologists, and any “sound-minded” people an opportunity to share research and contemplate fieldwork from different perspectives. Cardoso hoped that SEMSoundingBoard would “stimulate dialogue between ethnomusicology and other fields, especially sound studies, sound art, ecomusicology, anthropology, and media studies.” He also sought to facilitate interaction between the local community in Austin and SEM scholars who traveled to attend the conference.
I spoke with Cardoso about this…

REBLOG – Women of electronic music: Delia Derbyshire
Here is the next in the occasional reblogs from ATTACK / DECAY and fits in with the Delia Derbyshire Day update. Ah Kismet!
I’ve written about this topic before, and it is one that I will keep returning to. Over the past year, as part of my explorations of the Bristol music scene, I have been to a lot of gigs and club nights. One thing that is impossible to ignore is the under-representation of women, particularly when it comes to audiences for and producers of electronic music. While it isn’t always the case, I have been to nights and stood amongst crowds that have been ninety per cent male. This trend is also reflected in wider narratives about electronic music and its origins, in which the contributions of women are often forgotten or marginalised.
This is not going unnoticed in Bristol. I’ve previously mentioned Saffron Records, who are doing much to promote the work of young female musicians in the city. Similarly, The World is Listening, a Bristol-based podcast, celebrates…

Woof Woof!
^ KN (your interviewer) at the dog park
KN: Hello and welcome dear readers, as you can see I’m at a Dog Park. I came here with my dogs not just to play, but to actually meet one of the people who run this place (the director is Trevor who happens to be a dog) …
I say people, but it’s probably better to say her real name; Furchick! She is a music and sound maker of the experimental order, making sounds in particular ways with a ton of creativity and a bucket full of ‘don’t give a fucks’. Well I’m not so sure about Furchick not giving fucks, but that’s why we have arranged this interview… To get to know a bit of the real Furchick, or simply just have a nice conversation going on.. If that’s possible between all the dogs running and barking that is……

REBLOG – Midori Takada - Through The Looking Glass
Some of you will know how I’ve championed this album in the past and so I’m glad to be able to reblog this here : ))
Courtesy to Obscure Music Daily.
Through The Looking Glass is an album by Midori Takada that was released in 1983 on the label RCA. This album is ambient.
This album has some of my favorite ambient tracks on it. Beautiful serene melodies, slow warm drones, birds, windchimes, spastic xylophone(?) loops, and so on. The album utilizes lots of traditional and non-electronic instruments which gives it an awesome sound. Lots of wood winds and various minimalist percussions creating beautiful ambiances perfect for laying in a field on some alien planet watching the clouds. Half of the tracks are more serene and some are more tribal, especially with the final track “Catastrophe Σ” which is tribal ambient (a subgenre that focuses on rhythmic drumming instead of melodies) . My favorite tracks are the first, Mr. Henri Rousseau’s Dream, and the third, Trompe-L’oeil; the more serene / calm / melody driven ones.

REVIEW REBLOG – SPACE GIRLS – say you’ll be jodido
Something challenging and expect the unexpected from Agnes Pe and Raisa Maudit.
Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for this review.
Artist: SPACE GIRLS
title: say you’ll be jodido
keywords: 40latino, devotional, kemetic, devotional, music, distorted ,fanatic, fancy, fancy pop fantasy music, humalien, jodido, pop, pornotube ,Madrid
Catchy, courageous, happy, outrageous and mentally intriguing, with a big hand pulling out rabbits from the mad hatters hat full of ideas; this is some fine crazy shit! It’s as if pop had taken a deep dive into a bathtub full of liquid speed, neatly absorbed through the poppy diva skin and now became fruitfully alive in all its finest insanity.
And you know what? It’s a perfect case of a production that puts the ‘super’ back in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
There is singing, there is dancing and it’s adrenaline rush and worth the nervous breakdown of pure entertainment! Raw and spectacular! After this you’ll be glad to change your name into Jodido; so better start practicing, and tune in:
