Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes -

During the past 8 years of Feminatronic I have been on a bit of a personal sonic journey around the world with the focus on human beings who just happen to identify as female and create electronic sounds /noise /music via a huge plethora of electronic means. I'm on a semi sabbatical but here are just some of the sounds I've missed these past couple of months - no order, rank or preference. This playlist hopes to demonstrate some of the eclecticism that I have listened to this past couple of months but as usual it is just the tip of the iceberg.

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next....follow up on "sounds like"....see who's following, many artists follow other artists.....

Artists as I listened to them..
Flavia Goa, Louise Mackenzie, Cathy van Eck, Lesley Romano, Georgina Canifru, Zvrra, CMD, Force Inc, / Mille Plateaux - Simona Zamboli, H-M O, Dominique Vaccaro, Haco, Patricia Galassi, Loo(p)cy, Nur, Madalyn Merkey, May Rooseveldt, Microhm, Heidrun Schramm, Piaka Roela, Alexandra Spence, Hitori and El Hardwick.

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes -
To make sure that I'm giving space for as many artists as possible and to try and discover new ones, I'm trying to make playlists of artists alphabetically throughout the year on all platforms.
Here is the letter S but it's only the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure that I will have to make another.
As with all the playlists there are no preferences. They are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next.... follow up on "sounds like".... see who's following, many artists follow other artists......

Study for Voice and Tape

Simona Zambolis first album on Mille Plateaux "Ethernity" is a piece of haunting music - vibrating, pulsing and cutting through the concrete and the chaos at the same time, when you listen close enough. The album is a journey through trans-reality, not only as a melancholic drama, but also as a travel to alien worlds, hence as a necessity of an electronic intervention. "Ethernithy" is radical fictioning in a non-expressive, non-melancholic and ultrablack sense. Profound music demands blackness, not silence. When we speak of communication or mediation, the reference is always that of the mystical tradition of the via negativa; mediation and communication always imply the dissolution of sender and receiver, leaving not only the message that is the gulf or abyss, but a perception out there, which senses should be able to recognize and even love.

For A While

Vocalisations and field recordings from sonic sculpture workshop and performance, Tentacular Resonances. 

Tentacular Resonances is an ongoing body of research which draws upon the writing of Donna Haraway, Don Idhe, Salomé Voegelin and Jane Bennett to explore the material relationship between resonance and form.
​
Tentacular Resonances uses technology, poetics and ritual to explore the physical effects of sound on the body, drawing from scientific research that suggests sound can alter living material at the molecular level.

Experimental Podcast inspired by the sound installation of Cathy van Eck at Klangmoorschopfe Festival in Gais, Switzerland, September 2–12, 2021.

ABOUT
Cathy van Eck (1979 Belgium/Netherlands) is a composer, sound artist, and researcher in the arts. She focuses on composing relationships between everyday objects, human performers, and sound. Her artistic work includes performances with live-electronics and installations with sound objects which she often designs herself. She is interested in setting her gestures into relationships with sounds, mainly by electronic means. The result could be called “performative sound art”, since it combines elements from performance art, electronic music, and visual arts. Her work transcends genres and is presented at occasions as diverse as experimental or electronic music concerts, open air festivals, sound art gallery venues, digital art events, or performance art festivals.

Because of the amazing response we received for AWAKEN Season 2, we wanted to extend the conversations about the five afflictive mind states we discuss in the series: Pride, Attachment, Envy, Anger, and Ignorance. 

In this episode, hosted by AWAKEN executive producer Tania Ketenjian, we have interwoven conversations from the Rubin’s BRAINWAVE®program series with neuroscientist Tracy Dennis-Tiwary’s understanding of the challenging emotions explored in the podcast. Guests include Bibi Bahrami, Dr. Philip Corlett, Janeane Garofalo, Jean Grae, Dr. Hedy Kober, Richard “Mac” McKinney, Dr. Kevin Ochsner, Khenpo Pema, Dr. Adriana Renero, and Joshua Seftel.

AWAKEN Season 2 Episode 9: Brainwave

Brainwave - Season 2 Ep9

Text: Sean Street
Field recording: Charo Calvo
Voice: Bavo Buys
Mix and idea: Charo Calvo
Language: English
Length: 15:30


The field recording captures a 15:30 minute time lapse of daily life at a junction of three small streets in El Albaicín, Granada. There is no editing, the capture is in real time from start to finish. The featured location is a corner on top of a hill of a popular neighborhood in Granada, three streets rise from the front and descend at the back of the terrace where I was situated. Because of my elevated position on that balcony, I could not see everything going on in the streets, but clearly hear invisible people and events mingling in all directions. Intrigued by that sonic chaos, I sent the recording to the English poet, sound recordist and radio man Sean Street with the request that he would write a few words inspired by whatever he happened to hear.  His wonderful response was that of a poet embedded in a place he had never been and, probably never will be. A young man recorded his words without ever having listened to the field recording. I simply blended them with the sounds - words and sonic images interacting - joyfully taking advantage of the wavy dynamics of the original soundscape. 
As Sean Street writes, "we can only be where we are, and beyond that, everything else is imagination and memory".

The Original by Monochrome

halo reference + also Killing Joke:

Man watching video
The clock keeps on ticking
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter

The, requiem

When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will it start bothering you?

The, requiem

Only a hint of religion
Uncensors to its false depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is a reflection

The, requiem

REQUIEM TORSO

These tracks are out-takes from my first alum Seven Lies. Those familiar with my music will know that I love a coda. A coda is a passage at the end of a piece of music that brings it to a conclusion. I often use a coda as a way of framing the piece in a slightly different context than it would otherwise end. Like a musical aftertaste. When I was working on Seven Lies I made codas for several tracks but I was never completely happy with these two so they didn't make it on to the album.

As I work on my second album I have been looking back at the process I went through for my first alum and remembered these outtakes. They're not so bad after all. Perhaps they are worth airing to the world. I hope you enjoy them, or at least find them an interesting insight into the workings behind the music.
