THEREMIN ECLECTICISM – Part 1
PIONEERS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC – CLARA ROCKMORE
Having a focus on the Theremin on all platforms this week so I am reposting some old and new posts this weekend starting with this –
Rockmore was without peer as a performer in the early decades of the instrument’s use. While many listeners have heard the theremin played poorly or used mostly as a spooky special-effects device, Rockmore used it to perform classical works. Under her control, the theremin sounded like a blend of the cello, violin and human voice.

TODAYS DISCOVERY / SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT – FETTER
Jessica Tucker (1989, USA), aka FETTER, is an Amsterdam-based multimedia artist, musician, and producer. With her intimate and layered vocal/electronic music, together with her surreal and playfully strange animation videos and poetry, Tucker’s work expresses a kind of optimistic melancholy. In her recent installation work she deals with themes such as narcissism, insecurity, and the concept of ‘maintaining potential.’ In the past Tucker has also explored through sound, video, installation, and performance, topics such as the paradoxical simultaneity of presence and absence in distanced forms of self-expression, the vulnerability and power of the voice, and the human tendency to conceptualize ‘self’ in terms of abstract spatial relations.
REVIEW REBLOG – FETTER – FETTER (The Ego Album)
Wanted for some time to post something about Fetter aka Jessica Tucker and now I can thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks. Try to visit her site as it has much of her creative sound, video and installation work on it.
Artist: FETTER
title: FETTER (The Ego Album)
keywords: electronic, experimental, floating, singer-songwriter, tripping, melodic, amsterdam
Jessica Tucker produced, composed, played and sang for you to create a very ear pleasing lovely album under her moniker named ‘Fetter’. It starts very pretty with a melody and all-round sound full of love, warmth and it really works as a lovely welcome. You automatically feel at home and slipped off your shoes at the front door even without someone asking for it.
Settled in a comfortable comfort ‘Fetter’ continues to impress with a well balanced dreamy mixture of trip rhythm and her vocal mixed through each-other to form a clone of Jessica Tuckers to create the perfect glow to tuck yourself away in.
From here it’s time to do something in return, and it’s kind of our task to provide Fetter with what she is singing about in her next song. ‘Feed my…

REVIEW REBLOG – Green Shadow – green shadow sings the songs of green shadow
Elizabeth Veldon is an artist that Feminatronic has followed from the early days of the site but for some reason this review passed me by. Now is the time to make amends.
Artist: Green Shadow
title: green shadow sings the songs of green shadow
keywords: experimental, avant-garde,electronic, noise, United Kingdom
Green Shadow sings the ‘all noise is silence’ song, which covers exactly what the title suggests, minus perhaps the singing. Or perhaps it is indeed sung, but just through unconventional ways. In any way the ‘all noise is silence song’ does deliver enough noise to become silent again. It’s a fascinating theory, and if you (like me) had strolled through the popular harsh noise wall memes on a certain social platform, you might even have seen visual proof of an extreme version of this conceptual thought and experiment.
Someone took a HNW track, placed it in an audio editor and enlarged the volume up, and up until only visual silence was left. This is a good example of a victorious miracle that is of a ‘try it yourself at home’ kind…
But…

I have previously highlighted Susan Matthews’ music, namely Shadow Wraiths and because it is hauntingly lovely I am reposting it together with the newest release.
REVIEW REBLOG – Susan Matthews – SirenWire69
Finally reblogging this review and making Sarah Matthews , Todays Discovery.
Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for the review.

The first track ‘Hegemony’ comes in like a thrilling piece in which a possessed typewriter types by itself to create a panicky disturbing horror story. This kind of audio story is quite unique; the story telling, the chapters and the thrilling end certainly speaks to the imagination; turning the sounds in a short exciting movie that goes in the ears to create a unforgettable disturbing scene in the visual parts of the brain.
Botanical Rite no.1′ brings the sound of a piano that drops like a muffled memory; slowly and politely in a soft Lo-fi layer of pleasant dust. The sounds of a pleasant noise switches it’s place and confirms that both sound entities are pretty much the sane, even though them being different.
With ‘Bruised Letter’ we can hear a bruised letter being spoken out…
