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!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lockwood:http://www.lovely.com/bios/lockwood.htmlI 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_CDI 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

The problem with making a big deal of the fact that such-and-such a music artist is female is that you get people looking at that as if it's the most important thing about their work. The Nobel prize just went to Elfriede Jelinek, and some have said 'Oh, the Nobel committee wanted to give it to a woman this year, because there've been so few women recognised in the history of the prize'. Well, if I'd just been given the Nobel Prize, the last thing I would want to hear is that it was because of my gender.
I had a disagreement with Suzy last week about this. Suzy is putting together a new British art prize for women video artists. And my line is 'Look, women artists win major prizes with their video art (Gillian Wearing, Pippilotti Rist, etc etc). Why do we need a women only prize, as if it's Wimbledon and we need a separate Women's Tournament because the women just can't beat the men?'

Who knew that 3 years after this post:
Making electronic music is often a lonely and anti-social process, no other band members, much less interaction with your audience. It's not just that it puts off a lot of women, but is does seem to attract a particular kind of boy (yes, boy, not man)
-- Anna (Fieldingann...), November 22nd, 2002 5:55 PM. (Anna)
Anna would be playing in an electronic band!
How prescient. And great that things have worked out that way.
