SHORT DIGEST – SPOTLIGHT ON THE THEREMIN

November 11, 2014 Feminatronic

Part of the Feminatronic Season on the Theremin

SPOTLIGHT ON THE THEREMIN

Excellent article from the BBC News site

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.

INTRODUCING – ELIANE RADIGUE

September 7, 2014 Feminatronic

This months’ Introducing spotlight is cast on Eliane Radigue, another pioneer of electronic music. Her music is deep and resonant and demands you sit and really listen but the rewards are many…

Artist Biography by Joslyn Layne (AllMusic)

Electronic composer Eliane Radigue has created lovely, meditative works based on Tibetan Buddhism using tape and an Arp synthesizer. After studying electro-acoustic music under Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer in the late ’50s, the Parisian learned to play the piano and harp and delved into classical music. She spent one year (1967-68) as Pierre Henry’s assistant, one (1970-71) at New York University, then spent some time in residency at universities including California Institute of the Arts in the early ’70s. By this time, Radigue was making her music with tape and an Arp synthesizer. After converting to Tibetan Buddhism in 1975, she took a four-year hiatus from music. The French composer’s works have since included compositions for ballet and commissioned works on the life of Milarepa, an influential Tibetan poet and saint.

FEMINATRONIC MUSICBOX #5

August 24, 2014 Feminatronic

I thought it might be an idea to highlight a collection of tracks available to listen, download and buy, by female electronic artists. Music Box is just like a box of chocolates – varied and sometimes not to everyone’s taste but overall, demonstrating the eclectic nature of music creation. Dive in and sonically eat more than one…
