Something Joyous for a Friday afternoon.

WEB FOCUS – SEQUENCES ELECTRONIC MUSIC

SEQ ELECTR

As the Sequences Team says –

Sequences is devoted to many aspects of electronic sounds, but don’t think our world is on the pop side, meaning Techno, Hip Hop, or dance kind of stuff. No! we are fans whose love of electronics takes us into another world were the musicians take the boundaries of these special sounds to new heights. We are talking cosmic, experimental, synth rock, space rock, ambient and more which never get the airplay or media attention it deserves.

Sequences has been established since 1992, although our editorial team have had a wealth of experience in the field of electronics for the past 45 years, from the early years of Stockhausen’s avant garde noises through to the pioneering days of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. Although today there are many clones who take their music from these artists, there are still are some creative musicians about who are not given the credit they deserve. Our aim is to give them more exposure in a music scene dominated by pretty faces and big bucks.

This is the Podcast that spurred me to create Feminatronic, so without Sequences this site may never have existed.

So it is the start of a new year for Feminatronic and I was thinking what should I cover next as a subject and whilst mooching around looking for interesting items to highlight I thought, OK let’s look at the craft of Field Recordings and subsequent music created from Field Recordings. I am no expert in this area but I will try to cover as much of the work of female artists in this field ( no pun intended). Yes……a Season on Field Recordings, starting with….. Alastair R. Nobles’ article about the development of the concept of sound as music,which is my starting point for this season.

Leon Theremin – The Man and the Music Machine

 

Electronic music pioneer Robert Moog built theremins long before he built synthesizers. In the 1960’s, he produced such models as the wedge-shaped Vanguard theremin and the shoebox shaped Moog Melodia theremin. Today, Moog Music Inc. produces the popular Etherwave and Etherwave Plus theremins and kits as well as the new MIDI-enabled Theremini theremin. Other popular models today include PAiA’s Theremax and Burns’ line of B3 theremins.
