I was thinking about the Sounding Out post and about the Fluxus movement and here is a wonderful modern piece utilising the body as an instrument.
If you visit the Infinite Greyscale site here, you can read further about the release.
There is a great review at A Closer Listen and worth a revisit (as I did today).
There is a good overview of the album here at Time Released Sound
If you go to Bandcamp there are many other releases including the first release Sleptis
I have posted previous reviews of the music of Strie but reading this review has led me to some great sonic discoveries which I will highlight .
Thanks to Headphone Commute for this review.
Iden Reinhart first appeared on the scene back in 2010, with her Sléptis debut on Soundscaping Records. I finally got a chance to properly cover Reinhart’s second release as Strië on Time Released Sounds back in 2012, and Õhtul was featured on Headphone Commute’s Best of 2012 list, Music For The Frosty Night When I Miss Your Warm Light. The third proper album from this somewhat mysterious artist is released courtesy of Serein records, and this time I must take a moment to allow the curtain of shadowy background remain, while I focus strictly on the music within.
The sound is immediately dear to my ears, with its lo-fi aesthetics, cinematic soundscapes, and noir-fi atmospheres. If the esoterically named hauntology style was indeed a real genre, Strië’s approach at production, composition, and sonic environment shall gain her a worldwide recognition among the purveyors of these moods. Shuffling textures, ringing telephones, somber pads, and, from what…

Every Monday I look forward to the Sounding Out posts as they are very thought provoking and interesting. Todays is no exception and kind of fits with the Experimental season here at Feminatronic. By the way, I am writing this listening to Yoko Onos’ ‘Cough Piece’ which has an aura about it through headphones. Courtesy to Sounding Out for the article.
This is the second post in Sounding Out!’s 4th annual July forum on listening in observation of World Listening Day on July 18th, 2015. World Listening Day is a time to think about the impacts we have on our auditory environments and, in turn, their effects on us. For Sounding Out! World Listening Day necessitates discussions of the politics of listening and listening, and, as Carlo Patrão shares today, an examination of sounds that disturb, annoy, and threaten our mental health and well being. –Editor-in-Chief JS
An important factor in coming to dislike certain sounds is the extent to which they are considered meaningful. The noise of the roaring sea, for example, is not far from white radio noise (…) We still seek meaning in nature and therefore the roaring of the sea is a blissful sound. Torben Sangild, The Aesthetics of Noise
When hearing bodily sounds, we often react with discomfort, irritation…

Courtesy to Dalston Sound for this review. Worth clicking through to Crammed Discs to hear clips from the album. Wonderfully atmospheric.
I have recently discovered Laura Zattras Website and it is a mine of information about the Electronic Experimentalists of Italy, of which Teresa Rampazzi is one.
Hi all,
just a quick note to remind you that, finally, the website dedicated to Italian electroacoustic music pioneer Teresa Rampazzi, has a new address: http://www.teresarampazzi.it/.
I apologize to everyone who has been trying lately to access the old website and couldn’t.

Courtesy to A Closer Listen – This review fits in well with the Experimental focus on Feminatronic and includes Miya Masaoka.Here are a couple examples of her creativity –
MIYA MASAOKA: LED KIMONO PROJECT 5 MINUTES from Miya Masaoka on Vimeo.
Steve Elkins’ thoughtful, fascinating film about experimental music and musicians has been making the festival rounds for the past few years, and is finally available to screen on demand. It’s exactly what our site is about, and is highly recommended to all of our readers.
One need not be familiar with our site, or even with experimental music, to be familiar with one of the names: last year, John Luther Adams won both a Pulitzer Prize and a Grammy for Becoming Ocean. In a coup of sorts, this film captures the composer as he’s becoming inspired to create that very work. It’s a perfect starting point for the film, because Adams’ music, although intensely creative, is still accessible to mainstream audiences. Meanwhile, Misa Masaoka interacts with the natural world while Jon Rose and Bob Ostertag explore the porous line between music and politics. Their subject matter could not be…

I posted the previous series which included the Primary colours and look forward to future episodes on the secondary colours. Love the way the sound reflects the colour complexity.
Courtesy to Sounds Like Noise for this interesting series and posts.
A short sample of Green.
To hear the full track go to the Soundproof website.
The second series of The Colour of Sound has commenced on Radio National’s Soundproof program. The first episode in the series is Green.
Green charts the story of the German scientist and philosopher David Gottlob Diez as he deliberates on the connection between sound, the planets, and colour. Diez connected green with Venus, its aurora shrouding the planet in a veil of celestial static.
Tune in to the rest of the ROY-G-BIV colour and sound spectrum over the next few weeks.
