POSTER

LOOKING BACK TO NOW – VIV CORRINGHAM

Like many people I get side tracked when I am looking for things on the net for Feminatronic. Often there are a wealth of articles, reviews and interviews from previous years. That is the problem with the net – here today, gone tomorrow.
I thought that I would give some of these ‘lost to the ether’ pieces a re run with the idea that this could be combined with a what the artist is doing now.

Here is the first looking back to the now with Viv Corringham. The link is to the news page on the website –

AFRICAN AND ASIAN SEASON – SYRPHE

These are the final posts for the season on Feminatronic centred around African and Asian Electronic Artists, which began with the discovery of the Syrphe website and label.

The Syrphe site is a treasure trove of wonderful electronic and experimental music and soundscapes from mainly Africa and Asia. I thought that I would take some time through May to discover for myself and bring you some of the creative electronic music gems female artists are producing. It has led me on a trail of discovery, which I hope to continue to bring you in the future.

In the meantime, I hope that you have enjoyed listening as much as I have.

I posted this on Twitter a little late so I am reposting here.

SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT – CARO C

This is a new idea I am trying here, to spotlight the SoundCloud pages of artists, many but not all, only have their SoundCloud pages as their web presence, especially new or under the radar artists and so this is another means to give a bit of a boost  and shine a light on their music.

This week the artist is  Caro C

SUNDAY MIX – THE MOON

 

The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.
Her forehead is of amplest blond;
Her cheek like beryl stone;
Her eye unto the summer dew
The likest I have known.
Her lips of amber never part;
But what must be the smile
Upon her friend she could bestow
Were such her silver will!
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest star!
For certainly her way might pass
Beside your twinkling door.
Her bonnet is the firmament,
The universe her shoe,
The stars the trinkets at her belt,
Her dimities of blue.

Emily Dickinson

 

The stars that round the Queen of Night

Like maids attend her
Hide as in veils of mist their light
When she, in full-orbed glory bright.
O’er all the earth shines from her height,

A silver splendour.

Sappho

A tiny moon as white and small as a single jasmine flower
Leans all alone above my window, on night’s wintry bower,
Liquid as lime-tree blossom, soft as brilliant water or rain
She shines, the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain.

A White Blossom

 

 

The stars around the fair moon fade
Against the night,
When gazing full she fills the glade
And spreads the seas with silvery light.
