Electronic Music

[Rob MacKillop]

This web page is indeed inspirational. It provides a short history of the female pioneers of electronic music. Worth a listen. Link: http://championupnorth.com/music/features/7-visionary-women-who-paved-the-way-for-electronic-music



My fav is Eliane Radigue:

I'm up.
This is so exciting. What fantastic women and such an informative web page.
I first heard Eliane Radique last year. I have a good triple album of her stuff "Trilogie De Lamort" a triptych on life and death. generally just one note stuff with a subtle but just about recognizable hint of another note throughout. Each piece about an hour long. I am still learning how to listen to it but the sound is just so beautiful; Tibetan and meditative. Very relaxing last thing at night with a glass, or two of Red. A huge distance by miles from the dreadful Celtic Ambience that is stuffed onto many a double and triple CD.
There is an excellent portrait of her here

A beautiful lady and a joy to listen to her talking about her work and process. Oh and her cat in her studio!
I listen to electronic ambient a lot these days plus of course Irish traditional but not exclusively.
Thanks for finding this Rob; you're a good man. Can I forget about the 50 squid now?
Off to the park with Broch now.

Good one, Tom. I'll watch that video later. Agree about the awful Celtic Ambience crap!
