the printed circuit record is brilliant fun.

indeed! plus claire is completely gorgeous too, which doesn't change my enjoyment of the music, but i just thought i'd mention.

We've finally learned our lesson from all those "Sleater-Kinney are hot" threads.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 25 November 2002 00:28 (twenty-three years ago)

no-one's mentioned pauline oliveros yet? i don't like her "deep listening stuff so much but the early electronic stuff is some of my all time favourite flash gordon retrofuturist forbidden planet type stuff - alien bog is absolutely beautiful. and delia derbyshire - fantastic!

who's kelly hand?

kelli (i spelled it wrong before) hand is a detroit techno producer, records as k. hand, you might know "ready for the darkness" or "global warning", runs acacia records.

Aki Tsuyuko, both on her own & collaborating w/ Nobukazu Takemura.

of course there are many women who do this. OF COURSE.

I do, Kevin Blechdom does, Peope Like Us does, there's plenty.

and of course when and if the world becomes a more enlightened place, there will be more women who do so. dude.

no one's opinion means anything!!!

Blevin Blectum

― blevin blectum, Wednesday, 18 December 2002 00:40 (twenty-three years ago)

after Blevin's righteous blast, to drop just another name seems almost a minor matter
but then again i think this is one very fine musician who hasn't been mentioned on this thread -- Ikue Mori

― t\'\'t (t''t), Wednesday, 18 December 2002 10:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Anna, you suck.

Um?

Cobra Killer, who I notice T. Moore is digging in the latest Wire, gd for him, their first alb on DHR IS The Slits goes Techno!

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Monday, 6 January 2003 19:49 (twenty-three years ago)

good call Blevin but most of the women mentioned on this thread i've only ever heard of on this thread (i know i should get out more) so you can see why i asked the question - maybe its just the fact that these women dont seem to be getting their deserved props, assuming they do deserve them (for the quality of the music, not just cos they're women trying to make it and be recognised as good producers and musicians rather than JUST performers, singers and songwriters)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 6 January 2003 21:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Does the priveleging of the solitary author (using Squarepusher as an example) lend itself to a phallocentric concept of Artists? Maybe not just focused on men, but the emphasis also has a distinctly American flavor of celebrating the individual, as opposed to collaboration.

― Leee (Leee), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 08:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Gillian Gilbert?

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 10:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Antye Greie-Fuchs (aka AGF aka one half of Laub)

I highly recommend many of the names already mentioned too.

― Jeff W, Tuesday, 7 January 2003 11:08 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

BARBARA MORGENSTERN! (Maybe the Blechtums). (And the Mum lassies). And Lali Puna. I'll get back to exactly why Barbara Morgernstern.

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 29 March 2003 21:14 (twenty-three years ago)

i have just realised that as well as kevin, blevin is frickin genius!

― bob snoooozem, Saturday, 29 March 2003 21:27 (twenty-three years ago)

printed circuit is a chick? wow

and yes i second Oliveros, K Hand, and both Blechdom and Blectum...did anyone mention Andrea Parker?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Saturday, 29 March 2003 21:38 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

Kaffe Matthews!

― f*lippo, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Randy Twigg (not her real name) is a DJ / Producer here in Toronto. She makes very good electro / tech / house. Good turntable mixes too.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

what do you recommend of Kaffe's work f*lippo? i have heard one where she miked up a suit she was wearing.

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Er, Wendy Carlos?

― jeffery (jeffery), Thursday, 26 August 2004 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Dani Siciliano

― jeffery (jeffery), Thursday, 26 August 2004 05:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you, jeffrey, all throught this thread I've been thinking "Matthew Herbert's wfe, what the fuck was her name again?"

Blevin actually posted! I know nothing about her really, but that was funny.

New name: Migu (Yuko Araki, Cornelius' tour drummer)

What about Yoshimi P-We?

i think all of these DJ as well, but they all produce original stuff separately from their DJ personas too (and quite well i might add)

Mrs Wood (Jane Rolink)
DJ Rap (Charissa Saverio)
Sandra Collins

but I'm pretty sure whoever mentioned Meat Katie above was wrong about Mark Pember being a female, unless his run of successful tracks has finally afforded him with the cash flow to get that operation after all

― rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Demarnia Lloyd (from NZ - in Cloudboy)
Monotektoni (from Berlin)

― Guymauve (Guymauve), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Malka Spigel - too talented and accomplished not to have been noted yet. shame on us.

Nicole Elmer (Neutral, Squab Teen). i like to call her "Jackie Dangers."

Jessica Rylan builds the synthesizers and FX units she uses to make her horrible noises. wouldn't call her a "producer," but she's one of a kind.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

gaz, i have this one:
K.Matthews/A.Neumann/Sachiko M - In case of fire take the stairs (IMJ, 2002).
Live jam electroacoustics.

― f*lippo, Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

God bless you, Echooinggrove: I was friends with Nicole Elmer in high school and have been wondering for years where she ended up!

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

how funny! well, definitely check out Neutral's Font Translation Errors and In Neutral. she done alright for herself. excellent stuff. i haven't heard the more recent Caller I.D., but i'm sure it's good.

Squab Teen's Dance America is like a goofier Squarepusher with a penchant for Technique-era Casio presets and a dose of Blevin & Kevin. so much better than that sounds or has any right to be. can provide via slsk if you're having trouble.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

M.I.A.
Ada

(both great German (micro)house producers)

― Omar (Omar), Thursday, 26 August 2004 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, Echo. Now I just need to find a working email to go with them.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 20:08 (twenty-one years ago)

oops. my link above seems not to work when directly linked, you'll have to copy and paste it.

in any case: women in electronic music 1950-1970, many of whom have already been ably spotted above... one of my dreams someday is compiling and releasing a 2 CD set overview with these composers, but it's beyond my means at the moment. the point is: women have been with electronic music since the very, very beginning.

johanna beyer
clara rockmore
bebe barron
pauline oliveros
daphne oram
delia derbyshire
cathy berberian
ruth white
alice shields
wendy carlos
eliane radigue
daria semegen
joan labarbara
annea lockwood
ruth anderson
maggi payne
maryanne amacher
laurie spiegel

two notes: bebe barron's 'heavenly menagerie', 1950, probably the first piece of electronic music composed in the united states.

daphne oram's 'still point' from 1950 is the first ensemble performance piece to involve real-time transformation of sounds using electronics. not stockhausen, as he claimed for 'mixtur' 14 years later.

― Salvador Saca (Mr. Xolotl), Friday, 27 August 2004 06:05 (twenty-one years ago)

beate bartel from liaisons dangereuses. she also did the live sound for malaria! there's also quantazelle from chicago - actually, i think there's quite a lot of women maing electronic music in north america / canada.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Friday, 27 August 2004 07:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Magda releases things on M-nus (Hawtin's label) and is a fantastic DJ also.

― jack, Friday, 27 August 2004 08:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't recall this thread.

milton- the ones below are the ones that I haven't heard. could you recommend a piece by each of 'em?

(I love the rating - 792,510 (out of a possible 1,000,000) - take that PFM)

Lockwood:
http://www.lovely.com/bios/lockwood.html
I recommend 'Sound Map of the Hudson River', 'Glass World' and the 45 minute version of "World Rhythms" on 'Sinopah' -- which, when played on a system with a subwoofer in a dark room, can change your life

Ruth Anderson:
early cut-up TV channel-surf piece 'S.U.M.', 'points', 'I Come Out Of Your Sleep'

Daria Semegen:
'Electronic Music For Dance' released on Mimaroglu's Finnadar, plus various compilation tracks

Clara Rockmore:
http://www.maxiespages.com/Articles/Theremin_music/Clara_Rockmore_CD
I love this album.

Bebe Barron's own compositions drastically unavailable. There is no major single retrospective. How? In the meantime, Forbidden Planet soundtrack, great interview with her in the 3rd issue of the suddenly promising E|I magazine

Alice Shields was Ussachevsky's assistant, then collaborator, it's her voice on many of his pieces. my favorite's on CRI's classic Pioneers of Electronic Music.

Ruth White composed two truly brilliant records in 1969: 'Flowers of Evil' and 'Seven Trumps From The Tarot'. Vinyl rips finally turned up online earlier this year -- I hope someone like Locust can release these again. 'Flowers' is an all time favorite and 'Tarot' is completely unhinged.

Maggi Payne, I recommend Crystal

― (Jon L), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Clara Rockmore can be seen in the documentary Theremin!: An Electronic Odyssey.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks you lots -- I've heard that alice shields piece too.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

...Has anyone mention her yet?
The sweet Anne Laplantine.

Rhythm King & Her Friends

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Saturday, 28 August 2004 02:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Barbara Brown (AKA Misstress Barbara)

― nader (nader), Saturday, 28 August 2004 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

Miss Kittin. And if anyone gives me the line about "collaborating" with people like the Hacker (which she did on some tracks), you will get an earful about DJ Rap and "her" production (what a joke). Miss Kittin has great ideas, a cool voice, and knows enough to work with people who can help her bring her ideas to life. Hell, even Depeche Mode work with producers who help them sequence everything and put it together. ;)

I might also mention the Angel (gad, I forgot her real name, she's out of NYC and also did the soundtrack music for the Boiler Room, I believe).

(scurries back behind the bassbin)

I didn't know Neotropic was a woman! I love her stuff.
