REVIEW REBLOG – FETTER – FETTER (The Ego Album)

September 15, 2015 Feminatronic

Wanted for some time to post something about Fetter aka Jessica Tucker and now I can thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks. Try to visit her site as it has much of her creative sound, video and installation work on it.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: FETTER
title: FETTER (The Ego Album)
keywords: electronic, experimental, floating, singer-songwriter, tripping, melodic, amsterdam

Jessica Tucker produced, composed, played and sang for you to create a very ear pleasing lovely album under her moniker named ‘Fetter’. It starts very pretty with a melody and all-round sound full of love, warmth and it really works as a lovely welcome. You automatically feel at home and slipped off your shoes at the front door even without someone asking for it.

Settled in a comfortable comfort ‘Fetter’ continues to impress with a well balanced dreamy mixture of trip rhythm and her vocal mixed through each-other to form a clone of Jessica Tuckers to create the perfect glow to tuck yourself away in.

From here it’s time to do something in return, and it’s kind of our task to provide Fetter with what she is singing about in her next song. ‘Feed my…

WEB FOCUS – SIX PILLARS

September 12, 2015 Feminatronic

I have been following Six Pillars for a while as it covers all the arts from Iran and further afield. It was the doorway into discovering the importance of electronic music in Iran and subsequently, elsewhere in the World. Looks like a great Sonic event happening in December. Please support if you can.

Six Pillars

Six Pillars began as an audio-research adventure into arts and culture from Iran and its diaspora in 2005, and the website began in 2007. This weekly experimental radio show has since expanded over the years into performance events, residencies, art exhibitions, installations and an avant garde sound ensemble. Six Pillars’ focus has now progressed into West Asian, South Asian and North African arts and culture. it has taken its producers and collaborators to West Asia, Columbia and more. It has taken its listeners into anonymous bedrooms in Tehran and major art events and galleries around the world.

Nominated for a Radio Academy Award in 2014, Six Pillars has an adaptive format and a pedagogical approach to programming, resulting in guest producers from a far afield as Malaysia, Iran and Egypt.

Current broadcasts: Wednesdays 9-9.30pm, repeat Fridays 3.30-4pm.

REVIEW REBLOG – Madl Qurina – Don’t Make a Sound

September 10, 2015 Feminatronic

This is lovely in its strangeness with a darker underside. Found Madl on Soundcloud if you are interested. Thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks for tracking this down and the review.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Madl Qurina
title: Don’t Make a Sound
keywords: electronic, confusing, cute, electronic, experimental, Vancouver

If you go for this release you might experience the music gracefully swimming in like a full grown swan from the local mystery park. You might hear its Soft and calmness, you might be aware of it slightly being confused as it follows the pleasant stream right into the pleasure receptors that are also known as ‘ears’. You might hear lo-fi waves that go from watery flow into another, bringing elegance and pleasantness wherever they go in a dreamy music way. You might hear this all, but you have to be quiet so not to destroy or miss out on the hidden elements within this atmosphere.

You might experience this as the place in which you might meet angelic sleepy melodies, greeting you like fairy tales in which a secretive voice kindly whispers a flattering…

REVIEW REBLOG – Green Shadow – green shadow sings the songs of green shadow

September 8, 2015 Feminatronic

Elizabeth Veldon is an artist that Feminatronic has followed from the early days of the site but for some reason this review passed me by. Now is the time to make amends.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Green Shadow
title: green shadow sings the songs of green shadow
keywords: experimental, avant-garde,electronic, noise, United Kingdom

Green Shadow sings the ‘all noise is silence’ song, which covers exactly what the title suggests, minus perhaps the singing. Or perhaps it is indeed sung, but just through unconventional ways. In any way the ‘all noise is silence song’ does deliver enough noise to become silent again. It’s a fascinating theory, and if you (like me) had strolled through the popular harsh noise wall memes on a certain social platform, you might even have seen visual proof of an extreme version of this conceptual thought and experiment.

Someone took a HNW track, placed it in an audio editor and enlarged the volume up, and up until only visual silence was left. This is a good example of a victorious miracle that is of a ‘try it yourself at home’ kind…

REVIEW REBLOG – Susan Matthews – SirenWire69

September 7, 2015 Feminatronic

Finally reblogging this review and making Sarah Matthews , Todays Discovery.
Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for the review.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Susan Matthews
title: SirenWire69
keywords: ambient, classical, experimental, other, avant-garde, industrial, United Kingdom

The first track ‘Hegemony’ comes in like a thrilling piece in which a possessed typewriter types by itself to create a panicky disturbing horror story. This kind of audio story is quite unique; the story telling, the chapters and the thrilling end certainly speaks to the imagination; turning the sounds in a short exciting movie that goes in the ears to create a unforgettable disturbing scene in the visual parts of the brain.

Botanical Rite no.1′ brings the sound of a piano that drops like a muffled memory; slowly and politely in a soft Lo-fi layer of pleasant dust. The sounds of a pleasant noise switches it’s place and confirms that both sound entities are pretty much the sane, even though them being different.

With ‘Bruised Letter’ we can hear a bruised letter being spoken out…
