Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes -
Why are there so many creative Scandinavian artists?
"Some say it’s because of a school system that actively encourages learning the craft of musicianship from a young age; others reckon it's because winters are so long and dark,"(Guardian -Scandiravia! Who are the new Nordic pop stars? 12/11/15)
Whatever the reasons, there are many women creating wonderful soundscapes. Here are a few ....but there are many more to discover, which we will in future playlists.
Artists are Bjork, Jenny Hval, Heidi Mortenson, Pascal Pinon, Rosa Latva, Jana Winderen, Birgitte Alsted, DJ Flugvel og Gleimskip.

“katie gately was introduced to me through our mutual friend robin carolan . i was immediately blown away by her universe : has a refined engineers point of view expressing melancholy with some organic physical sonic fine textures . she picked her song and it didnt surprise me she went for family . i feel out of all the remixes she really took it most somewhere else while keeping true to the core of the song . which is that fascinating contradiction of the best remixes .... ” – björk

family (remix by katie gately)

Drifting away from a state of stability, blurring acceleration, moving out of sight, but not out of mind. Invisible but audible, the consequences reveal themselves through the silence of species we have never heard. Jana Winderen’s new work Pasvikdalen is based on recordings made both above and under water close to the border between Norway and Russia. The work is a commission of Dark Ecology/Sonic Acts. The live premiere of Pasvikdalen took place on 27 February 2015 at the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Amsterdam, as part of the Sonic Acts festival 2015. Jana Winderen talked about her work at the Sonic Acts symposium on 27 February, her talk was entitled ‘Listening without getting Answers’.
