Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes -
International Womens Day 2018 pt2 ..... 
This afternoon I'm continuing to just try and demonstarate just how much electronic music of all genres is being created by artists who just happen to identify as female.
As always, this is in no way an exhaustive list. I'm always just skimming the surface of creativity and as ever it's just a starting point...it really is the tip of the iceberg of some of the music I've listened to this past few weeks and brace yourselves, there are two other lists like this one for IWD2018.
I just wanted to see for myself how many artists are out there creating a huge range of sounds and I've deliberately not put them in any order to underline how eclectic they are -
Artists on the list in no particular order or preference....
Laurel Halo, Flora Holderbaum, Madeleine Cocolas, Asterisk Untitled, Lea Bertucci, Gazelle Twin, Vanessa Rossetto, Puce Mary, Orphan Fairytale, Nadia Khan,Nomadamonada,Kobto, Mirna Castro, Rumblin_Cynth_Rampo, aardor, TAHNZZ, brthlns glnds, France Jobin, piksel, Paper Dollhouse, iPodrido, Bana Haffar, La Cosa Preziosa, Isabel Porto Nogueira, Belly Full of Stars, Wilted Woman, Alma Laprida, Renata Roman, Elyssia Crampton, Dalot and Sound Awakener, Patrizia Mattioli, Aurora Halal, A'Bear, Zalys, Sky High Diamonds, Lucia Luna, Lizzie Kindred, Akane Hosaka, Cyberian Noise, Swan Meat, Alina Herandez, Katrina, Anna Xambo, Marta SmiLga, salama,Tiffany Lunn, Plum, Viv Corringham, Natasha Barrett,  Helena Krobarth

SoundCloud Weekly 001

Sound art Playlist

This playlist showcases the work of 10 artists from the WoNoMute network. This playlist celebrates 10 years of the music event Festival en Tiempo Real (https://tiemporealyladob.wordpress.com/), and is a collaboration with her director Ana Maria Romano. The sound creations are framed within experimental, glitch, electroacoustic and contemporary, pieces where there is an encounter with the technology (from an open sense). This playlist has been curated by Anna Xambó and Karolina Jawad from Ana Maria Romano's initiative, in conversation with all the playlist contributors.

Stereo mixes of some of the 'waves' of sound that wash through the We Are Not Alone  installation space. It's tricky to make a representative mix down of ambisonics, wave field synthesis and ultrasonic sound beam into a normal stereo track. These sounds serve just as a simple illustration of the basic materials.

a sort of imitation of colin stetson saxophone playing, actually just another try to sequence a res-4 feedback patch going into mmf-6. sequenced from er-101 with cv going into the er-102 for volume, filter symmetry and resonance. pressure points and planar helped to get a lively feeling although it is quite a simple repetative sequence.

The release represents a complete rethink about what it means to compile and commission music in the streaming era – and the tracks and seductively dark atmospheres conjured as a result are exploring all kinds of new sonic territory, too. In short, the cream of leftfield electronic talent have been given a brief: to take the phrase “in Death's dream kingdom”, or the whole of T.S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men from which it comes, as inspiration.

The resulting 25 tracks will be released, day by day, together with further artist information, to build into the full work. Not an album in the traditional sense, certainly more than just a playlist, it brings together a seriously diverse array of talents into a coherent whole with a vivid aesthetic reverberating through it. It occupies a similar space to the great home listening electronica acts of the 90s – Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, the Artificial Intelligence axis – but there are no throwbacks here: this is radical in sound and thought. Dark music for dark times.

"Eliot's blend of doom and pastoral imagery chimes very strongly with the world I am currently working within for my next album, so I was already quite well tuned into the feeling of the poem. I wanted it to feel like being chased through the woods by madmen with pitchforks and burning torches." ~ Gazelle Twin

Sombre orbits [Naviarhaiku 252]

returning | reeds was created for the return walk along the Humber Bridge as part of the Height of the Reeds event during the City of Culture year in Hull, 2017 - a ticketed event that had to be extended twice and saw 10,000 people participate over the course of 2 months.
This piece uses only the unprocessed recordings of located sound collected over 6 months on and around the bridge in preparation for the project.
 
The Height of the Reeds was a collaborative ten part, triggered headphone installation on the bridge, commissioned by Hull CoC 2017 and Opera North. (also now available as an album). Someway into the process I was asked to compose an additional work for the return walk. My connection to place is based on durational listening and recording, often using unconventional microphones and devices. For this piece I have tried to convey some elements of this connection to a series of locations that I have known since they were built and their surroundings.
recordings include various elements of the bridge structure and internal spaces, reed beds and ponds along the banks of the river humber, and traffic along the bridge. many of the recordings used JrF c-series contact microphones, JrF d-series hydrophones and DPA omni microphones.
this release also includes two bonus tracks not included in either ‘returning | reeds’ or ‘Height of the Reeds’. unedited / unprocessed recordings of the main bridge cables and one of the metal ladders into the anchor space on the north bank.

Two Extracts From Returning Reeds

artist residency / art festival in Pollau, Austria - July 2009
Natalia and myself were amongst several artists invited to take part.
Natalia set up an installation of objects activated by piezo elements and speakers in a small, open space below a house in the back streets of the town.
I was invited to record the installation and join in with some of the explorative performances.
Natalia Borrisova lives and works in Germany, though in recent years has turned away from an active arts practice.
these archival recordings have not be edited.

This extract is in binaural and for headphone listening. Full duration 19'00 (2019).

Extract from 'Urban Melt in Park Palais Meran' (4'55-8'48). In binaural for headphone listening.

All source materials for this piece are from a single recording made in a public park in Graz. The recording was made with an EigenMike. I then decomposed the spatial soundfield to be able to extract individual sound sources and track their positions in space. This material then fed back into the composition.

Hope to soon be able to offer the full length track on CD / download.

Urban Melt in Park Palais Meran, 2019 (extract starting 4'55, in binaural)

This is the binaural (headphones) version of 'Optical Tubes'. 'Optical Tubes' is movement 2 from the work 'Hidden Values', composed originally in 7th order 3D higher order ambisonics for the Espace de Projection, IRCAM, France.
