These women are pioneers of Electronic Music

here is another pioneer. delia derbyshire.

the delian mode

Here is Caterina Barbieri

SO inspiring.

Deep Listening is so important for me : listening to some deep listening music, I really got to listen to the environment sound for their aesthetic qualities.

This, in my opinion, is one of the most important and enlightening posts/topics in this forum!
There is far to much valuable information and wisdom in this world that never get noticed as it should, because we are still living in a world where the most storys are told by men...about men.

Some really interesting personalities and story are told about in this article.
Especially the story of Pauline Oliveros. Her presentation linked in th article ->


....really shows what a magnificent symbioses of scientific and spiritual thinking inhabits this mind.

Her concept of differing between hearing and listening brings up something that couldn't be more dramatically up to date and important than in our times....thinking about all the talking and hearing that goes on in the real and virtual world but the given fact that the majority of the world population isnt really (no matter if they dont want or can) listening to each other anymore even tho there is a amount of communication that has never been there before. 
This is a lesson told by her which is more than worth also thinking about it in a non musical context.

Listening to her talking about reverberation and the concept of deep listening which they developed in their group with the same name and reading about the things she had done in the, really makes you think what a buchla synth would sound like if he hadnt met Pauline Oliveros...

And @careck about achieving some deeplistening experiences...
I think whats the problem about the feeling to „not having enough time“ is that this feeling is driven by our use and conditioning in interacting with modern media. The amount of time we have to listen to music for example is still the same, but the amount and accesabillty expanded drastically over the last decades. The amount of musical data flying around the globe all summed up would leave you with a time span of music no human beeing would ever be abled to even listen to 10% or less of it.
This is easily overwhelming for one human mind, so we started to streamline (cant believe how fitting the english termination is in this context) our „use“ of music and „listening“ to or „hearing“ it. The majority of music these days is consumed over online streaming platforms. The algorithm decides what you will be hearing next if you dont use any features to shape the order like you wish. And still when a playlist or something like this finishes the algorithm will pick something for you. Its so easy to get used to it and sometimes you even discover something cool you didnt know before. But you also pay with the loss of connection to the art itself by not picking it your self sometimes.
What i really want to say is that I can feel you careck.... and for me a really deep listening experience can just be achieved if I just „take the time“ to have it. Listening to a full album for example, may sound to simple, but looking at the habits ,of consuming music ,of myself and others around me, you also may be wondering when you did this the last time

I think Emilie Gillet from Mutable Instruments is also a Pioneer of comtemporary modular and eurorack

and a very nice person is she. don’t forget all the ground breaking Palm pilot stuff..  the iphone dream WELL before apple did it.

and speaking of George Antheil .. what about the very troubled Hedy Lamarr who invented radio frequency hopping with him.. WW2 could have gone a very different way without her! i mean wow.... just WOW.. what a lady, what a story.

i will say Carsten admin that of the 3 you first mentioned Eliane is my favourite..  it’s a great subject to bring up..  if we were by an open fire drinking rum and all chatting together rather than typing it would run into the small hours for sure...

Then there is the danish composer Else Marie Padde, who in her own time was more or less neglected by everyone, but shortly before her death a few years ago she finally got the recognition she deserves. 

She was mostly working with tape and old school studio electronics.

One of her main compositions 7 cirkeler (1958) (Seven cirkles) can be seen here: 
But try to google her name you will find interesting stuff.

In her late seventies she was rediscovered by some young danish electronic musicians, and the started a cooperation with her, remaing / remixing / recomposing her work.

I was fortunate enough to be part of a group of people arranging concerts in a place in Copenhagen called Lab where we mostly had "odd music",we made a couple of arrangements with this remarkable woman. Even when she was in her early 80s she was completely open to working with young people and trying to understand their music.

She was also working for the danish resistance during WWII, and arrested by the germans when she was very young, this gave her serious problems with PTSD later in her life.
