None of you mentioned Hecate?! She's IDM, too! Ophecks: chek out the , and download those mp3's. |

I don't want to be controversial or anything. And I am not trying to offend anyone but I get the feeling here we're scraping the bottom of the barrel. I mean seriously there are very few girls out there and in my view the ones that have been mentioned are ok but hardly legendary (in terms of techno/electronica/IDM) and a lot of them are singer songwriters. I've heard Hecate, its ok I mean she's fairly accomplished but I mean she ain't gonna rock the electronic music world is she. The plain and simple fact that I think is staring us in the face, is that women ain't interested in making IDM or whatever you want to call it. As I said at the beginning of this post, no offence is intended in any way this is just my analysis. |

most female artists blow, le tigre, bikini kill, mira calix, portishead and fire party are the only good ones I know of, most of the ones everyone listed is like mainstream shit. alanis morisette emotional? what the fuck. seems like theyre arent many underground female artists much. i mean theyre bands that have a few females in them but im talking about singing. gybe and their side projects, most have females and thats all good stuff but theyre not many underground female singers that are actually good. now obviously I havent heard anything but its definate that there are more males just interested in making music. |

To be quite honest with u....when I listen to music I dont give a sh*t whether its made by a guy or a gal...just so long as it kicks arse. Yes, a few decent female artists have been mentioned here....and agreed most are mainstream bollocks...however, there are some girlz giving it a shot and trying to make serious music (and not pissing around thinking about gender issues when we make it!)....so lets see some support guys ;o) |

Ok, I dont want to get flamed here... but Im just telling it how I see it... here at Berklee... there arny many girls. its like a 7:1 ratio of guys to girls. why? I dont know... Of all the girls ive met... id say only one (ONE!) was truely talented musically. She played piano, and was a master at it. Could improvise like crazy. Now, I havnt met every girl here, and Ive meet girls that I havnt heard perform/compose... so Im not giving a definitive statement. I have heard many singers... and yes, they are good... but for me, just singing doesnt cut it for me. You gotta be able to write music too. And alot of the singers here are just wannabe divas who only care about singing, and looking beautiful. Ive been misinterperted before as being sexist... and im trying NOT to sound that way. There are definatly very talented women at berklee... no doubt about it. Only I havnt met many at all. Im only 3rd semester, so I have lots of time to meet good girls. And also that said, there are a lot of guys here that suck too. :) But, here is how I kind of see it... KIND OF. Im not saying it for all women... its a generalization... but ok... guys seem to be alot more dedicated to things. Obsessive maybe? for example... how many guys do you know that would live with 2 shirts, 1 pair of jeans for several years, so that all of thier money could go to musical things? (ie equipment, instruments etc) now how many girls do you know who would make such sacrafices? Im not saying there are girls who wouldnt... but from my experiances, I dont ever recall meeting a girl willing to be so dedicated (obsessed) with music. They love music, but they have many other priotities that would come first. *and yes, it is hard for women to make it in the music industry. |

Zeus, Yeah I tend to agree. The amount of hardcore (decent) electronic musicians who are girls (and just aren't divas) I could barely count on one hand, I think its a shame. However I just guess they're not disposed that way. Still it'd be cool if some girl just cropped up on the scene who started to create some mind blowing music like Aphex, Drexciya, BOC or any of the other classics. In fact thinking about it, it would probably be wise for said artist to try and be aloof as possible just in case people get into the music 'cause of the genda and not because its good. And then after all the hype, said artist could reveal their genda, that'd be cool but I guess unlikely to happen that way. |

there are some glaring oversights there, such as low, and my favorite artist (arguably), bjork. i was just picking some cd's i have that i think Ophecks would particularly like. i think i play a decent amount of feminine music on my radio show, so i do listen. but like Zozu i tend not to even keep gender in mine when listening (outside of the obvious "this is a (fe)male voice" and just let it stand on its own two feet. |

There have been many women who have been obsessed with some art form or other to make the sacrifices that you mention, Zeus. Not necessarily as prevalent in the music industry - but certainly in the artworld and other creative industries....anyone would think that guys are the ONLY ones with troubled souls in this world who feel the need for obsessive self-expression ;o) |

|

of course. But I was generalizing, as I said. if you were to calculate the averages... i think the # of guys to girls in this situation would be ALOT. |

I agree. Women have deomonstrated their capacity for creativity in many, many kitchens around the world. |

I see that Jonesy has a lot of respect for women. Perhaps he should remember there are quite a few of us who post on this Messageboard ;o) |

many kitchens around the world. Unfortunately the majority of cooks is male too... Haven`t you ever seen Iron Chief!?!? One of the Duo park avenue music, is a female classical trained pianist... pretty good electronica try it... |
||||||||

Shit, I forgot, its men who do the real cooking in restaurants. Women just do the easy stuff at home. |

How about Nic Endo solo works? The new stuff tore my fucking ears off. Like I said before, makes SatansTornade sound mellow. |

||||||||
|

Shouldn't you have chosen "Misogynist" as your user name instead, Jonesy? |

Ah I like your little pink hippo. He's very sweet. :-) |

Yeah...it would be nice to see women out there on the electronic scene, kinda refreshing. i have to say good on you danbrusca for admitting you like those mainstream girlie aritists....oh and Jonesy, are you a robot? |

Thanx Morton...i'm glad you like my nickname ;-) Why the unborn baby face...very cute. Oh Jonesy.....'whats the matter are there too many cats in here to catch your tongue' :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah.. i thought it was cute too.. just sweet :D and it reminded me of the Massive attack video Teardrop.. (which is a nice song IMO, although not thát very special) which strongly reminds me of a girl i once met (in Sweden), 'cause i saw the video the first time when i was with her.. now every time i hear it, it brings back the memories.. so in that way it is special to me, it's not the song itself that is so very beautiful.. (like it though) it also represents my childishness i think :) :P :) "Well Morton you should've taken an first stage embryo in that case" yeahyeah alrightalright |
