women in microsound

[A Listener <a_listener23@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know if you'd call her "micro" but Laetitia Sonami does some very nice
electronic works. . . but she reads text over it. It tends to take away from
it a bit, but its all Max and MSP controlled by a "lady's glove" a MIDI
interface she designed that gets info through hand motions. She preformed at
my college (Bard college), and the performance was like a dance, but very
nice sounds. Now she does more improve works with a sax player and live
sampling. . .
Can't think of any CD's though. . .

BTW do you all know about "Electric Sound" by Joel Chadabe, its (a book!)
great resource and points to even better ones. . .

And with all this androgyny talk going on I just thought I'd mention that
the girl in blectom from blectom doesn't think of herself as a man or woman.

Have a nice ____ .
