A number of us here in Chicago are very conscious of the "boys club" phenomenon. In 1998 and '99 I helped and performed with several women sound artists and composers in a festival called "Mixing." Unfortunately the web site is no longer accessible. A lot artists performed in it; Pauline Oliveros among them. Of those who were using real-time sampling and looping effects, there was Sarah Peebles from Toronto, Yuko Nexus6 from Japan, Christine Baczewska from New York, Danielle Malkoff from Chicago, and Andrea Polli (co-organizer of the festival). Sarah, Andrea and Yuko all use MAX on Macintoshs, Christine used a couple JamMans, and I'm not sure what devices Danielle uses (she's a member of the wonderful group Ribbon Effect). Sarah Peebles: http://www.interlog.com/~speeb/ Andrea Polli: http://homepage.interaccess.com/~apolli/ Yuko Nexus6: http://www02.so-net.ne.jp/~nexus6/index.html Ribbon Effect has a new CD out on Roomtone Records, available on-line at http://www.insound.com or http://www.othermusic.com. Let me know if you'd like Christine Baczewska's contact info. Kaffe Matthews has also made a name for herself in the field of electronic music performance, using violin and real-time sampling on a system called Lisa, which was invented at STEIM in Amsterdam. Her record label is called Annette Works: http://www.stalk.net/annetteworks/ Best regards, Eric sound thinking: http://pages.ripco.net/~eleon upcoming performances: http://pages.ripco.net/~eleon/whatsnew.html
