In Winter 2018, _REMIX will launch their latest night, Synth Remix. Using DJ sets and live performances to celebrate the pioneering women of electronic music including Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram and Laurie Spiegel, Synth Remix will launch in London before touring throughout the U.K. 

_REMIX have partnered with Resonance EXTRA for live broadcast of our London performance, and with Roland for loan of a range of synthesisers. 

Performance will be from electronic musician Jo Thomas (winner of the Golden Nica at the Prix Ars Electronica) with a headline audio-visual set from contemporary artist Olivia Louvel ('brooding electronic pop' [The Wire], 'at the creative frontiers where music and art intersect' [The Quietus]).

Synth Remix is funded through Sound and Music's Composer-Curator scheme with support from Arts Council England and the PRS for Music Foundation. 

Synth Remix Mixtape 001 is the first in a series of mixtapes showcasing the music featured in Synth Remix.

Synth Remix Mixtape 001

*** NEW 2021 SERIES OUT NOW: https://soundcloud.com/soundandmusic/sets/the-sound-and-music-podcast ***


Can an instrument be a sculpture, and vice-versa?

How can composers' archives be a source of inspiration?

And when does an artistic practice become a 'career'?

In this episode we listen in on two events from this year's Composer-Curator scheme: the SONA collective's 'Unpeeled' series in Sheffield, where Vicky Clarke performed loop-based manipulations through unique self-built instruments; and 'Synth Remix' in London, which drew on the rich legacies of female electronic music visionaries.

We talk with the participants about music, gender, technology and community, and hear excerpts from their live sets: from Vicky Clarke's playful, beat-based work and Jo Thomas' explosive textures, to the avant-song of Olivia Louvel.
