Pink Noises: Women on Electronic Music and Sound by Tara Rodgers

Get it from my Google Drive HERE

Pink Noises brings together twenty-four interviews with women in electronic music and sound cultures, including club and radio DJs, remixers, composers, improvisers, instrument builders, and installation and performance artists. The collection is an extension of Pinknoises.com, the critically-acclaimed website founded by musician and scholar Tara Rodgers in 2000 to promote women in electronic music and make information about music production more accessible to women and girls. That site featured interviews that Rodgers conducted with women artists, exploring their personal histories, their creative methods, and the roles of gender in their work. This book offers new and lengthier interviews, a critical introduction, and resources for further research and technological engagement.

Contemporary electronic music practices are illuminated through the stories of women artists of different generations and cultural backgrounds. They include the creators of ambient soundscapes, “performance novels,” sound sculptures, and custom software, as well as the developer of the Deep Listening philosophy and the founders of the Liquid Sound Lounge radio show and the monthly Basement Bhangra parties in New York. These and many other artists open up about topics such as their conflicted relationships to formal music training and mainstream media representations of women in electronic music. They discuss using sound to work creatively with structures of time and space, and voice and language; challenge distinctions of nature and culture; question norms of technological practice; and balance their needs for productive solitude with collaboration and community. Whether designing and building modular synthesizers with analog circuits or performing with a wearable apparatus that translates muscle movements into electronic sound, these artists expand notions of who and what counts in matters of invention, production, and noisemaking. Pink Noises is a powerful testimony to the presence and vitality of women in electronic music cultures, and to the relevance of sound to feminist concerns.

Interviewees: Maria Chavez, Beth Coleman (M. Singe), Antye Greie (AGF), Jeannie Hopper, Bevin Kelley (Blevin Blectum), Christina Kubisch, Le Tigre, Annea Lockwood, Giulia Loli (DJ Mutamassik), Rekha Malhotra (DJ Rekha), Riz Maslen (Neotropic), Kaffe Matthews, Susan Morabito, Ikue Mori, Pauline Oliveros, Pamela Z, Chantal Passamonte (Mira Calix), Maggi Payne, Eliane Radigue, Jessica Rylan, Carla Scaletti, Laetitia Sonami, Bev Stanton (Arthur Loves Plastic), Keiko Uenishi (o.blaat)

ok so on top of me being a diet film major at school i'm also on the executive staff of my school's college radio station and that combined with omgcp means it's headcanon time!

you're listening to 91.7 WSMU-FM. don't turn that dial!

lardo started doing radio to keep up the promise to do something technical to her parents after becoming an art major. she chose radio tech ops and programming because it was a chill and easy gig that didn't take too much time out of her day. she ended up being pretty decent at her job and later became known for her cable management skills.

jack first met lardo when he was dating camilla and eventually got involved with the station as a graveyard shift dj to hang out with camilla more as friends (#studentathletethings). lardo often took on the late-night shifts for tech ops, which is just making sure the station doesn't go down in the middle of the night, and noticed that Jack wouldn't use the automated software and do everything manually from spinning tracks to doing his talk breaks live. eventually they became friends over "the old days of radio" and jack referred lardo to becoming the smh team manager.

holster acted as a consultant to the promotions and PR team for one of his finals and observed a morning shift as part of the project. the "bro, we should start a podcast" part of his brain was promptly activated and convinced ransom to do a morning show with him. they mostly talk about college sports and get very heated over college hockey and how much cornell has fallen as a hockey team.

shitty grew up listening to wsmu and used radio as another way to be rebellious against his family. he appreciates the community service and outreach the station does and is ranked the best voice on the station. he hosts a show about local music in samwell and the greater boston area.

bitty joined the promo team after smh found out about his blog and convinced him to join radio after they all realized they did radio together. eventually he became the webmaster of the station's website because he was the only one other than shitty that knew how to use wordpress. his ego grew after he forced hosts to write blog posts during their shifts for the station website and be active on twitter.

chowder used to dj local events in high school and was a pretty decent dj and producer back in the day. when he found out the rest of the team was pretty much doing radio he convinced a radio show about live dj sets boiler room-style.

(side note: farmer finds out about chowder's secret life as a dj through a girl on the volleyball team who's friends with a wsmu sportscaster who knows holster.)

dex found himself working in tech ops after a freak accident involving the station's backup recording software went down. he ended up staying because it's the only non-hockey or non-school thing he had.

nursey was approached to be on the station's student spotlight show for his poetry and found out that the whole team was working on the station. he then romanticized the image of analog radio in his mind and what being a late-night DJ was like. he immediately switched to a mid-day jazz shift the next semester.

i swear i have more but i still have fics i need to write before posting more LMAO

CLUB OWNER

The owner of ‘HELL BUNKER’ wears the name ‘Garnet’. A simple man, born as Falco Ritter in Cologne, Germany.

Coming from a middle class worker family, he migrated over to the NUSA to fulfill himself a dream of becoming an artist and of owning a place of his own to show his passion to the world: Techno(ise). Garnet’s lifeblood is not only his bunker and mixing music as a DJ himself, but also his event Chrome Chamber Rave and the radio station ‘HELL BUNKER.FM’ that provides the newest tech hits as well as an online and print techno(ise) magazine named “160+ BPM” that he releases every month. Garnet is an artist and self-starter through and through! Falco has earned quite a high cred and respect in the Night City raver business as his location with mainly CCR is unique compared to other techno(ise) clubs in the city. His vision was not only to bring European, especially German, techno(ise)¹ back to the NUSA, but also to combine it with other artforms and the desire of primal energy that lies deeply rooted within us. He used to be dj-ing at Totentanz years ago which gave him a lot of inspiration for creating HELL BUNKER afterwards. Today, being a quite known underground Techno(ise) DJ within the scene and his bunker, Garnet is still down to earth as a musician and business owner who loves to collaborate with other artists to create art that moves you cerebral and visceral altogether. He also does not shy away from acting as a bouncer for his own club. So if you may have asked yourself why he’s decorating himself with Gorilla arms: It’s for throwing out those who don’t behave appropriately. Falco doesn’t make any excuses.

SET LIST

Garnet's common set list for Chrome Chamber Rave, a fictional hard technoise event in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. He still deejays at CCR. His setlist is of course all hard techno(ise) yet he concentrates to mix it with more emotions and a touch of industrial, even some lyrics and tends to venture further than that. Each song is unique to itself and can be a true experience if you are willing to let yourself soaked in and let it touch your soul.

“Technoise may not be able to save the world, but it will save your soul.”

— Falco ‘Garnet’ Ritter

—

Cover artwork by me. Steal and you will be doomed. I‘ve chosen tracks only by one artist named ‘Roman Gehrecke’. This artist is the closest to what I imagine Garnet would produce as well. So I decided to borrow the music for Falco. Of course all the music belongs to Roman Gehrecke! There's one song at the end of it I see as the one that is always played at last so the audience knows ok after that it's done. This song is also not by the artist mentioned above but has a well known melody majority knows.

Recommendation: ‚Gefallene Engel‘, ‚Anderswelt‘, ‚Stimmen der Tiefe‘ and ‚Schutt und Asche‘ – best listened to via headphones and making time for it should you want to try to get soaked into.

———

¹ "Technoise and its various derivations dominate much of the German scene. If you're hip, you already know about Technoise. If not, listen up. Technoise is quite popular with the discerning young punk; it was popularized by Germany's own NetWerk actually, you've got your Overlay style from London, Jazznetic from Rotterdam and Echo from Frankfurt. In addition, there are people producing Frock (Fractal Rock) all over the place. The good thing is, Technoise is quite easy to produce. You only need a small computer, some software and you're ready to buzz. Those of you with a message might miss the political attitude, but you're missing the point. Technoise is strictly for partying, tripping and dancing. People meet and dance up to the runner's point. Maybe that's a political statement in itself, oder?" — Eurosource Plus – The New Eurotheater Sourcebook for Cyberpunk

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job #37: “Brothers Cinco” | April 6, 2009 - 12:30AM | S04E09

Tim and Eric’s “Chalet 2000”. Their “Ronny Horror Picture Show”. Their “Went With the Wind” (syndicated half-hour version only). Uh, their, uh actually SCTV has a few and I don’t wanna pick one. Anyway, I got some ’rrhea and spent about 40 minutes shidding before getting around to this write-up so hopefully losing all of my precious brown fluids doesn't give me brain fog. I hope I don’t have to do any more big brown squirts. 

This is a fairly special one. This is the first (and only?) episode to be just one single story. The Anniversary episode from season one and the Tairy Greene Machine episode from season five are the next closest ones I can think of, but they still contain sketches that you could enjoy without the context of the wraparound. This more-or-less feels like a pilot for Tim and Eric Bedtime Stories. It’s also a cinematic widescreen episode, but it’s only available in 4:3, letterboxed. 

The episode is about the titular Cinco brothers, played by Tim & Eric. These are the men behind Cinco, the company what makes all the funny stuff we’ve seen throughout the series. They’ve made quite a splash in the business world. Even Tom Leykis respects them. Tom Leykis is the radio DJ in the episode. He’s sorta famous for being a shock jock. He’s more-or-less a liberal but he also likes being a rude sexist. He is my hero. Anyway: the story is pretty simple: Cinco Bro Eric (I forget their fictional first names, so I’m just gonna call them Tim & Eric) is accused of murdering his own wife. Tim has big plans to use their new Cinco E-Trial software that proclaims to offer a legally binding trial through the magic of CD-ROM. 

The trial, of course, yields a guilty verdict, because Eric IS guilty. A bunch of cops bust through the Cinco Bros’ door and arrest him on the spot. In prison, Tim confesses to Eric that he set him up to fail. He overheard him plotting with his wife. Their plan? Eric tells his wife that he’s going to kill her, and while his brother is stricken with grief Eric will steal the company from him. His wife is completely nonplussed by this and agrees that it “sounds great, babe”, evilly laughing along with her husband.

This is such an aggressively stupid joke that I love it. Like, the idea of Eric killing his wife and her just going along with it is funny, and it’s at least a little satirical. The episode is meant to be, at least in part, a satire of movies about powerful/toxic men where women are disposable. Here they are so disposable, they just allow their husbands to kill them just to be supportive of their fella. But also; the non-specificness of how Eric will steal the company. They could've written it in a way that the plan at least makes sense and retain the satire, but they don't. Tim and Eric is truly comedy jazz, as it's about the jokes they don't play.

There is a sequence in this where the Cinco Boys are out partying at various stripper/drug-doing clubs, and Eric starts getting despondent, and as he spirals he just starts babbling about how he killed his wife. He and Tim happen to have a prostitute with them, and they unceremoniously murder her and then brashly yuck it up in a diner about how much of her blood is still on them. The diner scene is wonderful, their acting is weird and sorta good. They strike an impressive balance between being believable and absolutely not believable. It’s an uncanniness that most people can’t hang with. I think this is an essential component to being a Tim and Eric liker. 

Anyway, the party scene preceding the diner scene seems like it’s a first draft for the Billion Dollar Movie sequence, which is much funnier. I guess you can’t do a dick piercing on the Cartoon Network.

Keep an eye out for some Tim & Eric cameos in avatar form. When Eric picks his virtual jury, you’ll spot some regular faces. A nice nod to the fans (me!). Also, because this is the paragraph where I just say random things about the episode that don’t have to do with the story: the house Tim and Eric are in (with the car-themed loveseat) is a regular location used by David DeCoteau, one of the most prolific schlock makers out there. He went from making X-rated movies in the 80s (BOTH kinds, hubba hubba!) to sleazy “USA Up All Night” fare to now, where he trades off making not-even-softcore movies where beautiful young men wrestle around shirtless and children’s movies where the plot is an animal can talk and it’s voiced by Eric Roberts, who sounds like he’s recording his lines on his iPhone. Some friends and I spotted this room in A Talking Cat?!? And we struggled to remember where we saw it first. It was this! 

Anyway, I love this episode and think it’s great, even though Tim is doing a SICKENING anti-semitic character with a big prosthetic nose. HBO I implore you, pull this episode NOW. Jews are under attack now more than ever.  

MAIL BAG 

In reference to shake like me: WHEN DO THE SIMPSONS COME ON???

They're on right now. They're probably on the freakin' M*A*S*H Channel

touching tribute to the obviously racist episode shake like me

I swear to god, I meant to expound on the idea that in 2009 television writers (in mostly/all-white writers rooms) thought racism was officially solved because America got directed by Obama (who I guess died earlier today) for a couple seasons and went on rehashing actual racist jokes thinking they could now be passed off as absurdism. I'm not saying this as a defense, I just remember being a white dude and basically believing that same thing. It's the same reasons jokes about limousines were also suddenly okay.

Watching all these shitty Season 4 episodes really makes me appreciate stuff like Gravy Robbers again.

I genuinely think season four is at least as good as season two OKAY?? FUCK to you, pal

I usually put the EPHEMERA CORNER above the mail bag, but sometimes it accidentally causes stuff to get deleted, so I am putting it here:

Conclusion

It also supports a variety of audio formats and can also stream video.

It also has some benefits like it is open-source and allows for more transparency, accessibility, and collaboration in the development process, integrated with popular media players and third-party services, and easy to customise.

However, it's worth noting that AzuraCast is a self-hosted platform, which means that users will need to have a server to run it on, and will be responsible for maintaining the server and troubleshooting any issues that arise. It also has a high learning curve for new users.

In summary, AzuraCast provides a more user-friendly, full-featured, and all-in-one platform for internet radio stations, and is a solid choice for those who are looking for a user-friendly, flexible, and feature-rich platform for internet radio stations but it's important to weigh the cons and the specific needs before making a decision.

Alright, @iwilltrytobereasonable. Here's a list of some stuff that I've seen in my days in radio.

A syndicated right wing radio show sent over their tracks digitally. For a solid week they did not send the right files, and we replayed the SAME last segment over and over and over again. I told the engineers, who shrugged and said "the problem's on their end". I shrugged because I hated that show.

A radio station down the hall would go off the air at 6 PM every night because of a software glitch; as soon as ABC news started I had to bolt down the hall and hit the space bar to manually start the next block of music.

A station was hit by a bolt of lightning, the transmitter fried. It spent SIX MONTHS on the low-power backup. You couldn't get the station if you were inside a building.

You'd think that each station would have an engineer to keep them on the air, but in practice each cluster of stations in an area had one, seeing as how they were in one area. But, uh. Sometimes it wasn't even that. Sometimes you had one engineer commuting between 2-3 clusters as needed.

A remote transmitter (needed for when you were on location) had a tendency to overheat; during one concert I had to hold it against a sack of ice the entire time to keep it cool.

A hard rock station unexpectedly got two tickets to a concert last minute, and the DJ decided that the contest would be "ENTERTAIN US." You had to come to the parking lot in front of the station and do... something. We had a guy do 120 down the street in front of us doing a wheelie on a motorcycle, the same thing but also flashing us, two college girls doing a short skit ending with them making out (and for what it's worth the skit WAS actually funny), and several things that would get someone arrested if I mentioned it.

A complete hard drive crash took one station offline. We had "crash disks" - mix-tapes with station bumpers - pre-made in the event of an emergency. We ended up cycling through the three crash disks for eight hours until a backup was located and set up, and when we finally got it online we realized that it hadn't actually been backing up for months.

A country station had a series of concerts at a local amusement park. Not only did we hardly have anyone interested in tickets every single day, we ended up BEGGING people in the park to stick around for the concert and waiving the ticket cost.

More nepotism than I can shake a stick at.

I was hired for one job because a board op just... didn't show up. And I did. So I was hired.

And there's more, but... that's just what comes to mind immediately.

The old sitcom NewsRadio is not a comedy. It is a documentary.

“What do you mean the tower is gone? Are you sure you’re in the right place? I actually used more colorful words than that,” Brett Elmore recounted to NBC News. “He said there’s wires all over the ground and the tower is gone.”

From Studio to Radio: A Musician’s Journey

Breaking into the music industry is no small feat. For many artists, the journey begins in a modest studio, fueled by dreams of reaching a global audience. But turning a passion for music into a sustainable career takes more than just talent—it demands strategy, hard work, and the ability to adapt. Among the many milestones on this path, getting your music on the radio is a significant achievement that can catapult your career to new heights. In this guide, we’ll explore key steps to take your music from the studio to radio airwaves while leveraging digital platforms like Spotify and YouTube for maximum impact.

The Role of Digital Streaming Platforms Before aiming for radio airplay, understanding the landscape of digital streaming is essential. Spotify, one of the largest streaming platforms in the world, is a vital tool for independent artists. But how much do you earn Spotify as an artist?

With consistent releases and engaging marketing, Spotify can become a dependable income stream and a stepping stone to larger opportunities like radio play.

Using the best software for making music beginner can significantly impact your sound quality. Programs like Ableton Live, GarageBand, or FL Studio provide powerful tools for crafting professional tracks even if you're just starting.

Investing time in mastering these tools will not only elevate your music but also prepare you for the high standards of radio submissions.

Steps to Get Your Music on the Radio Radio airplay has long been considered a mark of success for artists. Here’s how to navigate this crucial step:

Research Radio Stations Start by identifying stations that match your music genre. College radios, local stations, and online platforms are more accessible for new artists. Curating a list of targets ensures your submission reaches the right audience.

Prepare a Professional Press Kit Your press kit should include a high-quality recording of your song, a well-written artist bio, and a professional photo. Some stations may also request a short interview or details about your live performances.

Leverage Connections Networking with DJs, producers, and other artists in the industry can make a significant difference. Many stations prioritize submissions from trusted sources.

Follow Submission Guidelines Every station has specific submission requirements. Ignoring these could result in your track being overlooked. Be sure to follow instructions carefully and include a compelling pitch to make your music stand out.

Learning how to get your music on the radio may seem daunting, but persistence pays off. Even one successful play can introduce your work to thousands of potential fans.

The Importance of Songwriting and Lyrics Lyrics play a vital role in connecting with your audience. Whether you're crafting emotional ballads or upbeat anthems, the words you choose leave a lasting impression. If you're ever stuck for inspiration, knowing where to search lyrics of a song can help spark ideas. Platforms like Genius or Musixmatch let you explore themes, metaphors, and storytelling techniques used by iconic songwriters. Combining strong lyrics with innovative melodies ensures your music resonates with listeners, making it more likely to catch the attention of radio curators.

Expanding Your Reach with YouTube In addition to radio and streaming platforms, YouTube is a powerful tool for sharing your music and building your brand. With over 2 billion monthly active users, the platform offers unparalleled opportunities for exposure. But how much do you earn on YouTube as a musician? Earnings depend on ad revenue, sponsorships, and viewer engagement. Posting music videos, behind-the-scenes content, and live performances can attract a diverse audience while generating income. Furthermore, YouTube analytics provide valuable insights into your audience demographics, helping you refine your promotional strategies.

Creating a Holistic Promotion Plan Success in the music industry requires more than talent; it demands strategic planning and consistent effort. Here are additional tips to help you reach new heights:

Collaborate with Other Artists Working with fellow musicians introduces your music to their audience, expanding your reach.

Utilize Social Media Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter are invaluable for engaging with fans and promoting new releases.

Perform Live Live performances allow you to connect directly with listeners. They also provide content for your social media and YouTube channels.

Gather Feedback Share your tracks with trusted friends or mentors to receive constructive criticism. This helps refine your work before submitting it to larger platforms.

Stay Persistent The path to success is rarely linear. Stay committed to your craft and remain open to learning and adapting.

Conclusion The journey from the studio to the radio requires determination, preparation, and the effective use of resources. Platforms like Spotify and YouTube offer valuable opportunities for growth, while tools for music production and lyric exploration enhance your creativity. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can position yourself for success and ensure your music reaches its full potential. Whether you’re submitting tracks to radio stations or building your online presence, remember that every effort counts in shaping your career.

Artist DJ Drops: Elevating Your Brand and Sound

In the dynamic world of music and entertainment, a unique identity is essential for standing out. For DJs and producers, artist DJ drops are a powerful tool to amplify their brand, enhance their sets, and create a lasting impression. These audio snippets serve as personalized audio tags that showcase the artist's name or signature catchphrase, blending seamlessly with the music to leave a memorable mark.

What Are Artist DJ Drops?

Artist DJ drops are short audio clips that DJs and producers use during their sets to identify themselves. They can be a spoken voice-over, sound effect, or combination of both, often customized to reflect the artist's persona or music style. A well-crafted DJ drop not only highlights the artist’s name but also reinforces their brand identity and engages the audience.

Why Are Artist DJ Drops Important?

Brand Recognition: DJ drops ensure that your name or brand resonates with your audience. By using a unique and professional drop, listeners can quickly identify the artist behind the music.

Professional Appeal: A polished DJ drop adds a professional touch to your sets or mixes, signaling to listeners and event organizers that you take your craft seriously.

Audience Engagement: Drops can energize a crowd, create anticipation, or signal transitions during a set, making the performance more dynamic and memorable.

Copyright Protection: Including a DJ drop in your mixes discourages unauthorized use of your content, as your identity is embedded within the track.

How to Create Effective Artist DJ Drops

Professional Voiceovers: Work with professional voice-over artists or use your own voice to record drops. Ensure the tone and style align with your musical genre and brand image.

Custom Sound Effects: Incorporate sound effects that complement your music style. Whether it's electronic beeps, bass drops, or ambient sounds, choose effects that enhance the drop’s impact.

High-Quality Production: Use professional-grade audio production software or collaborate with audio engineers to create clean and crisp drops that stand out without overpowering the music.

Keep It Short and Catchy: A DJ drop should be brief and to the point, typically lasting 2–5 seconds. A concise message ensures it doesn’t disrupt the flow of your set.

Where to Use Artist DJ Drops

Live Performances: To identify yourself and elevate the energy in the crowd.

Radio Shows: As a recurring tag to promote your brand.

Mixtapes: To personalize your mixes and maintain brand consistency.

Online Content: To enhance your presence on platforms like SoundCloud, Mixcloud, or YouTube.

Conclusion

Artist DJ drops are more than just sound bites—they’re essential branding tools that elevate your presence in the competitive music scene. With creativity and high-quality production, you can create memorable drops that resonate with audiences, showcase your style, and solidify your identity as a professional DJ.

This is another streaming project I'm enthused about right now. It takes place in Second Life. And it's all about music.

Basically, I've spent thousands on my DJ hobby, especially with regards to hardware and software. I used to do four sets a week, sometimes involving frantic teleporting because they were back-to-back. Now... just one.

It's time, in my eyes, to take the DJing back.

I have music I want to present to people that doesn't slot neatly in the usual genres of pop, rock, house... and the best way to present it, in my opinion, is to have my own venue.

It's taken some time, but I found assets I was able to bodge a decently sized small venue out of. There's a teleporter on the ground that takes you there, and eventually there will be landmarks.

Currently I'm looking at spinning two hours at a time, two evenings and one afternoon (New Zealand time). So anyone else will have to just cope with chasing me around the clock (thanks to two sets of daylight savings.)

While the evening sets are likely to be pop/rock or EDM with additional spices, the afternoon one will be the fun one. That's my listening party. Currently I'm looking at the first hour being podcasts, audiobooks, or vintage radio serials; this is followed by an hour devoted to some of the albums in my collection that I haven't really listened to. They might be difficult, or easy. You never know. I never do.

I still have to sort out a schedule of performances, and promote the damn venue, basically gin up interest first. Some performances might appear on Mixcloud.

But that's in the future. Gordon Dinosaur Radio isn't on air yet.

CNM & Optical Collusion (A/V)

The structures are sorted by algorithms and bidirectional information. Disharmonic and rustling layers cause unrest and discomfort. Phase-shifting fluctuations, feedback effect loops and repititive rhythms reinforce the contradictory effect. Chunked vocal fragments are used as an equal musical element. Experiments that often become cinematic.
