Electronic music doesn’t talk to me in a real loud voice, but this piece from OpenCulture.com rings a few bells.
It’s intriguing because it
mentions the not too surprising fact that women were involved in the earliest
incarnations of electronic music, back in the 1950s and even earlier.
Didja ever hear of Daphne
Oram, Laurie Spiegel, Éliane Radigue or Pauline Oliveros?
I think it’s a good bet I
can say “Of course you didn’t.”
OpenCulture explains that
these women “represent a small
sampling of too-often-overlooked electronic composers, musicians, engineers,
and theorists whose work deserves wider appreciation, not because it’s made by
women, but because it’s innovative, technically brilliant, and beautiful music
made by people who happen to be women.”

Amen,
sister.
I’m
sticking with Odetta and Joan Baez (her early work), but this was a tantalizing
interlude.
