REBLOG – Premiere: Tamara Filyavich ~ return fire
Courtesy to A Closer Listen for the reblog. Recommend a listen to this piece especially in relation to the subject matter. Proof noise can have meaning.
A CLOSER LISTEN is honored to present the online premiere of Tamara Filyavich’s return fire.
Tamara Filyavich presents return fire, a soundscape of analogue synthesizer, radio transmission and digital manipulation channeling the events of the Ukrainian revolution of 2013-2014. Filyavich has lived in Montreal for the past 20 years, after she and her family left the town on Yalta in the occupied Ukraine. return fire is a reflection on childhood memories filtered through contemporary political struggles for social justice and free expression on the streets. This piece also includes variations on the Ukrainian choral piece “Plyve Kacha,” an old Ukrainian folk song which was given new meaning after being played on Kiev’s central square during the funeral for slain opposition fighters in 2014.
She works as Arts and Culture Coordinator at CKUT radio 90.3 fm, Montreal’s community radio station, where she also co-hosts Radio is Dead?, a show…

REVIEW REBLOG – Mila Severtseva – Resistance
Here is Todays Discovery of glitchy beat based electronics, care of Yeah I Know it Sucks.
artist: Mila Severtseva
title: Resistance
keywords: glitch, experimental, electronic, avantgarde, beats,
label: Wrieuw Recordings http://wrieuwrecordings.bandcamp.com/
Mila is a mixed media based in Saint Petersburg in Russia. I first came across her work via this great website called Far From Moscow which is well worth checking out. Anyway, at that point she was writing music as diu pii and it was excellent bare bones almost tribal sketches of electronica goodness. I got in touch to ask if she wanted to do a split release on floppy disk, which fortunately for me, she did. One thing Mila does very well is often very chaotic and colourful works of art, I find these very appealing, she did the awesome artwork for our release and has since done the same for releases with Liminal Noise Tapes and Effluvia Recordings.
Anyway, I am very pleased to present her EP “resistance” released under her own…

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…

^ 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……
