  Sarah Belle Reid  is a latest youtube discovery while searching reviews about the Make Noise Strega synthesiser. I watched a really good review by her and then started to browse her channel to find reviews for many other interesting audio topics.  She is also a good performer-composer who plays trumpet, modular synthesizer and an ever-growing collection of handcrafted electronic instruments. Her unique musical voice explores the intersections between contemporary classical, experimental and interactive electronics, noise music, and improvisation.  Here is a no input mixing board small performance in her channel:  Sarah Belle Reid  Search there for more...

Taught by Max Mathews (one of the fathers of electronic music) she became a pioneer herself, especially in the Buchla synthesiser modular format. She worked extensively with quadraphonic sound and she has been nominated 4 times for a Grammy Award.   Buchla Concerts 1975

I love to discover women in electronic music, especially experimental music.  They used to be generally very underrated and not very well known, however recently many people rediscover these beautiful works of music art by many of them. This is Else Marie Pade a Danish composer, the first person in Denmark, and among the first people in the world, to compose concrete and electronic music. She worked with Pierre Schaeffer and Karlheinz Stockhausen, as well as Pierre Boulez. Here is a small presentation of her in the Wire:  Else Marie Pade and one of my favourite pieces of her: Faust (1962)
