Blinkered artwork edition 1 by Doodlebug and flower by Louise Bradley

And we’re kickstarting 2012 with a free electronic music download that I hope to be available next month.

More than a dozen most competent electronic music artists have been beavering away on tracks from my latest creative music album Til You’re No Longer Blinkered.

These artists who have kindly agreed to mess with my elements, hail from my various musical nests over the years: Newcastle upon Tyne, Berlin and Manchester with a couple of connections that have only grown thanks to the ever-expanding online clan of independent electronic music in the US.

The compilation will be available as a free download on Bandcamp and I will be more than happy to despatch full resolution waveform packages to those that prefer and demand it.

I will be mastering this collection of creative music alongside the more competent Liam Maloney of live drum & bass quartet The Broken Door

And in other news, a wonderful new live recording of the bountifully creative lady Bunty:

New page on board: Women in.. What we are doing

by admin on December 7, 2011 · 0 comments

Just wanted to flag up a new page I have compiled. Compiling a list of resources I have come across along my sonic journeys and/or am part of.

Entitled Women in.. it is intended as a bit of a spotlight on what we lasses are doing in the fields of electronic music and studio recording. Though discussion and debate is of course helpful, I have felt compelled to provide this counterpoint to regular articles and debates about how few females are active in these fields..

So do refer to it, enjoy, explore and please do add to it if you can..

Compression, EQ and the female vocal

November 12, 2011

Tweet
Just recently I have come across a couple of interviews about or with well-known female musicians who are challenging the standard treatment of their voice recordings in popular music engineering and production. Bjork’s technical enabler Damian Taylor explained how Bjork in her latest album insisted on very little compression and EQ on her [...]

initial impressions from immersion in Bjork’s Biophilia

October 16, 2011

Tweet
As a harbourer of an electronic music blog, I couldn’t forego commenting upon Bjork’s latest journey into sound (and everything).

After a headphone immersion session with Biophilia, i am bemused and beguiled. The magic and steadfastness of the Manchester International Festival show this summer abides in the recording.
I feel it’s her most experimental [...]

yodeling remix finalist Voixtronik 2011

September 12, 2011

Tweet
A random one, even for me, I know.
I was intrigued to come across the call for electronic remixes of Austrian yodeling on my female:pressure members’ postings. A fun post-op recuperation project to get me back on the horse after decadent album Gracieland dream studio production I thought. And it was fun remixing yodel samples [...]

Caveat: This one is for the audio nerds.

As i have developed as an audio engineer and producer of more creative music, I have become more sensitive to in your face productions that tire the ear and brain with sonic bombardment. And I have come out in support of Turn me Up – a not [...]

Making money with your music in the UK

July 9, 2011

Tweet
OK I may not be talking millions here. But small amounts of revenue can be accrued by the most lightly active and independent musicians. If you perform gigs at live music venues, release and sell your own music or get play on the more random or niche radio shows out there, we can get some [...]

I was discussing this question recently and thought it may be interesting to share and throw out some of the ideas I felt were clear and evident.
