I put together my April favourites on Bandcamp via BuyMusicClub. There were some great releases this month I think. Parra for Cuva has finally set up a Bandcamp account with his new Mimose album as well as the new Catching Flies album is also out now, plus a bunch of other great releases. Hope you enjoy! ✨
How do folks feel about Bandcamp listening parties? Got a new electronic EP coming Friday and was curious about doing one over the next while, but never done it before
Always discovering the seemingly hidden contribution by women in early electronic music.
Delia Derbyshire
Wendy Carlos
Cosey Fanni Tutti
Kate Bush
Laurie Anderson
You know the names (and more) but constantly realizing the impact.
For example, Bush is regarded as the first to release a song using Fairlight audio sampling with Babooshka. All of these details stack up
Currently keeping me aural company while I work (I woke up, couldn't go back to sleep and decided to dive back into the blasted article), Noveller's Fantastic Planet (2015)
Friends, followers and musically curious onlookers, I could really use some listens today! I'm an independent #musician who makes weird, #psychedelic#ElectronicMusic for listening to from the couch. If you're new to my oeuvre, this is the best place to start:
Video from my last live set at Iklectik online now: https://youtu.be/1EfWWZHavuI?si=2QSbyFI_MK6x02xE
I included various new devices and builds in the performance, some of which worked better than others.
worm gear long-loop percussion
new modular synth sound sources (slight bugs)
magnetic tape record (minor failure)
multiple webcams for projection and documentation
strobe light kick drum trigger via rotator cuff (mostly ineffective)
Enjoyed the performance though, great atmosphere in a packed room - nice you can see folks dancing in the video. A great send off to Iklectik's Waterloo space (this was the penultimate event there).
