REVIEW REBLOG – Interview with Dalot

August 10, 2015 Feminatronic

Here are a couple of pieces courtesy of Headphone Commute shining a spotlight on the electroacoustic artist Dalot.

Dalot Hi Maria, what have you been up to lately?
I am still settling down to my new place/neighborhood since my move from NY to London during the summer.

How did you initially get signed to n5MD?
In 2009, I contacted n5MD to ask them if they would be interested in selling some copies of my EP via their mailorder website. They coincidentally liked it and they signed me.

What does your name Dalot mean and where does it come from?
Dalot is the french word for culvert. Back in the golden days of Myspace, I decided to open an account and I needed a username. Next to me there was a French Dictionary. I opened one of its pages by chance and Dalot was the first word I saw. I liked the look and sound of it and I kept it. Recently, I discovered that there are two areas that…

I posted the piece of music created by Elizabeth Veldon to commemorate the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on the 6th August.

I heard this field recording and it felt appropriate to post it here to remember the 70th Anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki

REVIEW REBLOG – 5 music makers you should know about

Yeah I Know It Sucks

^ hail the ugliest artwork in the world! Yeah I know it sucks did it again! hooray!

Hello dear reader,

Glad you are here.. I have something to tell you that you probably have no ears for, but that’s why I type it here for your eyes. The listening part comes a little bit later, but trust me.. it’s a thing named ‘save the best for last..’ anyway what I wanted to say…

I had this idea of making a coloring book. I know it isn’t a brand new idea as there are many (perhaps even too much..) coloring books out there. I guess the secret reason that there are so many coloring books being made, is that printing picture books in full color is probably a expensive procedure.

But under the smart disguise of ‘coloring books’ they basically bring color books out only with the big difference that (mostly)…

REVIEW REBLOG – Furchick – NoizeMachin!!#12

August 8, 2015 Feminatronic

Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for this review.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Furchick
title: NoizeMaschin!!#12
keywords: balls, noise, ambient, machine, video, performance
words by: Bert Ball

Furchick is on tour, playing at various venues and obviously having a good time. If you are a fan or just want to know what she is been up to, you are free to join her posse over at her official Facebook page. A while ago she posted that after a performance a man came up to her suggesting to bring a laptop next time in order to make something that would resemble ‘music’, this isn’t a quote (as I couldn’t find the actual post back, but it was something along this line..)

I don’t understand this complaint as people who perform live music with the use of a laptop are also bombarded with morons who claim that they are playing a game of cards, or just check their emails. (maybe they do, and…

REVIEW REPOST – Sara Goodman – Airplanes No Longer Exist

August 6, 2015 Feminatronic

This is getting to be a habit but Yeah I Know it Sucks has done it again with this find. This is the first of my discoveries today and is another example of the huge variety of experimentalism that is out there.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Sara Goodman
title: Airplanes No Longer Exist
keywords: dub, electronic, experimental, glitch, musique concrete, noise, poetry,
label: Poverty Electronicshttp://povertyelectronics.bandcamp.com

Sara Goodman’s ‘airplanes no longer exist’ release on Poverty Electronics is one that is of a kind experimental kind. My ears are drawn in directly by ‘ She Spanks Silver Peacocks’ which sounds to low-bit loving ears like a soft brew of recognizable data loss. The sound is one of a rhythmic, yet muffled kind; as if a microscopic microphone with the ability to record had been placed in a pocket of a coat and the artist added her hand and moving fingers to get this specific sounding audio work to sound like it sounds.

‘The Sideways Market Collapsed ‘skips the low-bit aspect and goes for a soundtrack that has musical aspects, yet it is fully dressed as a experimental of sound in which a listener can apply their…
