Nancy Garcia- Lovers Alarm Clock
Nancy Garcia’s interdisciplinary practice incorporates choreography, music/sound, video, performance, image making, and new media. Often slinging the viewer to the edges of performative events, Garcia draws attention to the exultant body, considering it as a site as well as a vehicle for sound and movement. For her first solo exhibition in Miami, Garcia shows a new body of work incorporating photography, a new video entitled Power Trio, and a concept audio compilation, Lover’s Alarm Clock, for which she asked artist friends to “create a sound you want your lover/s to wake up to.” Each track will be downloadable and sharable as a smartphone ringtone at www.loversalarmclock.com, and be available for listening in the gallery.

maryann amacher and the third ear stopped listening Oct 2009
The subtitle of her first Tzadik Records album Sound Characters (Making the Third Ear) references these "ear tones".
"When played at the right sound level, which is quite high and exciting, the tones in this music will cause your ears to act as neurophonic instruments that emit sounds that will seem to be issuing directly from your head ... (my audiences) discover they are producing a tonal dimension of the music which interacts melodically, rhythmically, and spatially with the tones in the room. Tones 'dance' in the immediate space of their body, around them like a sonic wrap, cascade inside ears, and out to space in front of their eyes ... Do not be alarmed! Your ears are not behaving strange or being damaged! ... these virtual tones are a natural and very real physical aspect of auditory perception, similar to the fusing of two images resulting in a third three dimensional image in binocular perception ... I want to release this music which is produced by the listener ..."

SONUS- The Space Between- by Katherine Norman
great sound gallery click here
quote...'Maybe a visual image has to work harder to get inside, underneath the surface. But sound has this knack of filling heads with riffs that hang around and won’t be silenced. For me, that’s how it is with these, and many other, works that speak through sound. And I keep saying ‘for me’ because who knows what these works will be for you. Every pair of listening ears is different (and I’m glad to hear it).
Lately I’ve found it helpful to think of music as autobiography of a kind, especially electroacoustic music and sound art that explores recorded materials, and ‘real world’ sounds. Recently I’ve begun to try and explain my listening through words, and connecting to my own real world stories. Maybe it’s not so far from the space of personal memory, to the space of inner listening. So there are short written reflections on my listening here. There are also programme notes and biographies, and places to find more information about the composers and their work. All these destinations can be avoided if you want, and maybe even should be.'
Kathrine also, writes great stuff on sound/language and noise, her book Sounding Art, Eight Literary Excursions through Electronic Music (Ashgate, 2004) is a gem ...click here for moreElden Tsabary also has a big collection of good sound works from the 60x60 Canada 2008-2009 collection on SONUS click here
this is not Kathrine or Elden... its a binary tree I found somewhere...

Oh Ada... ADA LOVELACE DAY- furtherfield & all the inspiring women
FABULOSO furtherfields Ada Lovelace day contributions click here
quote... "Ada Lovelace Day was conceived of and promoted by Suw Charman-Anderson as a way of "bringing women in technology to the fore". It succeded in motivating nearly 2000 people to publish a blog post about a woman in technology whom they admired.
In support of Ada Lovelace Day we invited women working in media arts to join the NetBehaviour.org email list for a week, in March '09. They were invited to post information about their own work alongside the work of other women who had inspired them in their own practice. Some names came up a number of times but with different stories and for very different reasons. NetBehaviour provided a context for sharing and discussing influences and tracing connections: artistic, practical, theoretical, technical, historical, personal. For readability the list displayed here does not include all of the discussion but this can be traced back through the NetBehaviour archives.
Some contributors were anxious about the many excellent people who may have been missed out. We know this is not a definitive survey or list but it is an excellent resource and just one possible starting point for anyone wanting to know more about women working in media art.

inappropriate covers
I like em...."STEPHANIE SYJUCO is a visual artist who’s recent work uses the tactics of bootlegging, reappropriation, and fictional fabrications to address issues of cultural biography, labor, and economic globalization. Working primarily in sculpture and installation, her objects mistranslate and misappropriate iconic symbols, creating frictions between high ideals and everyday materials. This has included re-creating several 1950s Modernist furniture pieces by French designer Charlotte Perriand but using cast-off material and rubbish in Beijing, China; starting a global collaborative project with crochet crafters to counterfeit high-end consumer goods; photographing models of Stonehenge made from cheap Asian imported food products; and searching for fragments of the Berlin Wall in her immediate surroundings in an attempt to revisit the historical moment of “the end of History.” "

Ada Lovelace Day- for women who inspire...as key players within the voice and sound technology
Image by clvrmnky via Flickr
Who was Ada??
Finally, who was Ada?
Ada Lovelace was one of the world’s first computer programmers, and one of the first people to see computers as more than just a machine for doing sums. She wrote programmes for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, a general-purpose computing machine, despite the fact that it was never built.
Its Ada Lovelace day, the day and week to register the names of women who have inspired you

Heres my contribution....
MY NAME: Majena Mafe
URL: http://www.sounded-language.blogspot.com/
http://www.that-unsound.blogspot.com.au
MY WORK: Focuses on the perverse affect of sound in/as language, and its implications for digital ways of saying
INSPIRED BY:
Gertrude Stein-
For being a ground breaker, ground shaker and self described genius
For her introduction of the loop in language that eventually filtered through into digital sound
That the idea repetition is never repetition
The idea that if objects are things, so too are the word we use for them
That meaning does not lie linearly
She highlighted the non-definitive
Her play with ear-play
For her insistent sane use of disruption
Honesty that written language is mock realism
For highlighting the aurally charged nature of language and its connection to meaning
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=H__e3ZXoYMEC&dq=Gertrude+STEIN&printsec=frontcover&source=an&hl=en&ei=8RHISZvVB4yMkAWwle3DDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result#PPP5,M1
Meredith Monk-
For sticking with her own throat sounds
http://www.meredithmonk.org/
Cathy Berberian-
For interpreting contemporary music, Armenian folk songs, Monteverdi, The Beatles, and her own compositions in a very throated way.
Especially for best known work is her "Stripsody" (1966), in which she exploits her vocal technique using comic book sounds.
http://that-unsound.blogspot.com/2008/09/cathy-berberian-trills-me.html
Cathy Brietz-
For her elaborate video instillations
For her shots taken at media
http://www.whitecube.com/artists/breitz/texts/78/
http://www.kunstraum.net/content-en/artists/index/b/candice-breitz/view?set_language=en
Pipilotti Rist-
For being 'not the girl who misses much'
For her insistence on the perverse pleasure principle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipilotti_Rist
http://www.pipilottirist.net/begin/open.html
Maja Ratkje-
For her use of the voice as un-mediated instrumented sound
http://www.ratkje.com/main.php
Joan la Barbara-
For her use of multiple voices
For her use of multiple voices
For her use of multiple voices
http://www.joanlabarbara.com/bio.html
Vicki Bennett and People Like Us-
For the mischief
For her re-examining the throw away sounding out from the 40s and 50s
For the interpolation and density of sound image mashups
http://www.peoplelikeus.org/index.html
Janet Cardiff-
For being a composer/performer intrigued by change, the subtle and rthe thick in sound, fascinated with voices and definitely enamored by technology.
For using her voice as raw material, which she transmutes into machine noises, choral works or pulverizes “into granules of electro acoustic babble and glitch, generating animated dialogues between innate human expressiveness and the overt artifice of digital processing” as the Wire Magazine put it.

Ursula Endlicher and her turbulance
Artwork by Herrera
Upgrade! Boston: Ursula Endlicher
March 17, 2009; 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Massachusetts College of Art and Design

Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Ursula Endlicher's work resides on the intersection of Internet, performance and multi-media installation. Since 1994 the Internet has an impact on her practice where she bridges the Web and physical reality. Her focus lies in analyzing the social, political and structural components of the Web while translating its hidden architectures and languages - such as HTML - into choreography for performances, into layouts for visualizations, installations or objects, or into notation for music.
Endlicher's recent projects include Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited (2006-09), a ten-part Live/Web performance series that utilizes Web Code as choreography. This series as well as the project html_butoh, a web-based participatory performance commissioned by Turbulence.org in 2006, are built on the html-movement-library, a database for small video clips enacting the html language through movement. She created Website
Impersonations: The Amazons (.at versus .com), an interactive multi-media installation with real-time web-feed navigable via the "mouse-chair" for which she received a production grant by the Austrian Cultural Forum NY in 2006. A presentation of her web works including Famous For One Spam was commissioned by the Whitney Museum's artport in 2004. Web Performer 1.0 was among the first net art works included into Rhizome's ArtBase in 1999. She produced her very first piece for the Internet - Left/Right - for The Thing Vienna BBS in 1994.
