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.
