i've been listening to a lot of male artists who do experimental/soundscape/noise techno-type music - ranging from the earlier artists such as pierre schaeffer, edgar varese, to the more recent sounds of autechre, keith fullerton whitman, hafler trio, etc. but i have heard very few females in this general 'area' of music, possible being nic endo, hanin elias and somewhat neotropic. anyone else that you guys/gals know of? |

Women just seem to prefer to listen. Very few women seem to have the metal to really go for it in electronic music. I think the only exception I've come across recently is Hecate and I think she is pretty bloody good. |

Dont forget to check out Andrea Parker, she has an unique style |

hmm unfortunately i don't believe all women are in this category. i for one, specifically search for weird and 'trying' music because it gives me something to think about rather than to dance to |
||||||||

then there's also mira calix and andrea parker |

Out of my 450 CDs, very few are by females. Alanis Morrisette's ''Jagged Little Pill'', a Supremes greatest hits set... Everything else is male dominated bands with a female lead singer. I have some Garbage and all the Cardigans CDs, and the Cranberry's ''To the Faithful Departed''... not much. Definitely no estrogen-injected electronic music, that's for sure. |

you shoulda followed my recommendations on a previous topic about this one |

I did check out some tracks, and I have some grrly music here and there, I just don't exactly have them on my CD racks... ... [/guilt] |

I just bought Haha Sound by Broadcast, I think it's going to grow on me immensly. I'm not into the whole girl lead singer thing but this is unlike anything I've ever heard. Blechtum from Blechdom (sp?) are two chicks too, although they are awful. |

Anybody like Solex? Nice cutty uppy jiggly quirky stuff*. And she's a woman. So they say. Called Elizabeth. Which sounds like a nice name. And Esselink which sounds like a ferry company. *see my intense reviewing skills in action |

lali puna dammit... LOL. i constantly post about this wonderful lady, but no one really seems to know/care... meh. just my two cents ;) |

Yo, Kieth Fullerton Whitman is the SHIT! I have playthroughs, Dartmouth Street Underpass, and 21:30 for Acoutic Guitar great stuff... he really is one of my favs |

DeLtoiD > is lali puna hard to find? can you recommend one track or three? : ) |

i think one of the most recent tracks that gave me physical shivers up and down my spine was the 'timesteps' one off the clockwork orange album by wendy carlos - fyi, autechre also played this track in their recent breezeblock mix. |

anyone wanting some female electronica, (or at least, with female singing) try alphawezen,.. I've incluided some random tracks form the album, she doesn't sing in all of them, just about half, if you like what you hear, go into your local record store and order a copy of Alphawezen - L'Apres-Midi D'un Microphone small independant IDM artists need your support |

Mira Calix's Skimskitta LP is really good. |

jenf, I appreciate your sentiments but the fact is that women just aren't in electronic music period. The amount of women who just do electronic music and decent electronic music at that, you could literally count on one hand. This topic has been done before anyways and I often say its a shame there aren't more women doing electronic music but the fact is they just simply aren't motivated enough. I guess at the end of the day there just isn't the drive and motivation in them for it. That said my sister is pretty talented and has done plenty of wicked tracks and has a very good ear for strong melody and soul and loves to experiment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh that's the fact, is it? first off, there are plenty of women in music. so we know that there's no lack in "drive" or "motivation" there -- so it must be the specific type of music. my opinion as that women see technology, not music, as a boy's club. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
finally someone mentions nicole elmer, i think she does some kick ass stuff |
||||||||
|
|

mira calix is hot. |

Generally girls like dancey pop so they can wiggle their behinds. Which is fine by me, but more XX chromosome people would be welcome at glitch/breakcore gigs me reckons. I'm going to get shit for that probably, but it's true in the same way that the only reason men could watch Sex and the City for is references (and hopefully visuals) regarding tits and twats. |

omg.. am i seeing what i AM SEEING here? SOME men generalizing on the fact that women aren't into electronic music? what is this? non-secular pre-modern sentiment locked into sexist misogynistic asswipe? come on promo. think before you speak for once! no offence, but your fingers walked before your brain made any decent comment. yes, there ARE women who appreciate much electronic music - much more than you probably do as we speak. there ARE women who can produce way better shit than most of you egocentric males, as we speak. there ARE men who dislike experimental electronic, as we speak. maybe you should reconsider the looping tracks on your playlist and realize that there are females out there.. you just have to find them .. or even care for fuck's sake.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i was going to say something but i felt it was painfully obvious that they were making gross and totally unfounded generalizations.. just because this lot doesn't know many female electronic and experimental artists doesn't mean they aren't out there, especially on the unsigned and indie level. i mean how presumptuous can you get, saying it's not something women are generally capable of. pretty disappointing to see that on this board but what can you expect, 99% of the regulars are male. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i initially started this thread i was asking if anyone knew any other female artists in the experimental/soundscape/noise/ambient type electronic-technological production scale of things - not 'hey why are chicks not into doing this stuff?' so when i get 'idjit' (so idiotic that they are idjit) responses to a question i never asked, and those answers are even more assinine, i feel like im walking into the world of pre-industrialized monkeymen who haven't really advanced past the 'making babies and hunting for food' stage of their brain. sorry for the insults to some of you guys, i know some of you are decent but for the other minority, you've really left a sour note. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i should add, the lot of you guys who make music, is far from experimental and close to pop-oriented, mainstream tunes, so really.. who are YOU to judge a female's abilities? especially one you have never searched for or heard of? |
||||||||
|
|

women dont write music... women make dinner. jk btw... its a Family Guy reference :-D |
||||||||

|
|
jenf: people are stupid... it just happens that there are more men on here... so you see that they are the ones being stupid... ...but in reality... if we had an equal number of girls here, I think there be just as many stupid girls. So, please dont generalize! :-P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but you are misinterpreting my comments and taking my words out of context. i NEVER said that all women were smart, and i NEVER said that all the men on here were stupid.. read carefully please, before you comment on my errors. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never said that you said it. I just brought it into the conversation. So please, read carefully before you comment on my error of being erred in understanding you. So do not ere, for error, ere, and error ror |

insinuation is all it takes my dear zeus. |

indeed, and that is what you were doing in the post that I first reply to! :-P |

do you guys know ? Riz Maslen is her name and she does electronic music. Also there is Cosey Fanni Tutti of Chris and Cosey. Cosey Fanni Tutti was a member of Throbbing Gristle, a band which split to form Coil, Psychic TV and C&C. . There are others out there I can't think of any more names though. |

"It's important to stress that the male domination of the music scene can never be attacked by the quantity of women, but only with the quality of their work." Nic Endo (who considers herself a feminist by the way). She is absolutely spot on, in my opinion. Discuss. |

i thought lali puna was the name of the band, not the vocalist? they are great though. not too sure about their new album at the minute though... |

the last time i was in a conversation here about this was a few weeks ago... these threads always spark a little of controversy... not to intending to start shit, but it is pretty clear that expermental electronic is a typically male crowd... that's not to say that there's not plenty of female fans/talents... but it's not just a coincidence that probably 90% of the people here (if not more) are male... and probably a similar percentage of all the people who i personally know, who enjoy this kind of music are male... the way i see it, the more females, the better... i'm sure in a few years time, when the overground has further overexposed itself, we will see more females involved... as for wicked females... along with those mentioned, i'd add Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida... |
