Fem snd

Author: redactie redactie

The Melkweg MAX was transformed on Saturday night from a conference space into party space with the electronic sounds of FEM SND. This event was organised by Cornelia Sollfrank, Laurence Rassel and Maya Consuelo Sternel and featured a range of invited artists including: Riz Maslen aka Neotopic; Mieko Shimizo aka Apache 61'; the Godmothers, part II; Gudrun Gut; Donna maya; Saphine; Ubergeek.
The artists in FEM SND were exclusively women and covered a range of electronic musical forms. This included both live and DJ/VJ performances and ranged through experimental processes as well as strong drum 'n bass dance based mixes. This event certainly had wide appeal as there were a diverse range of people in the audience. It was also great to see so many people relaxing after a busy day at the panels and papers at n5m4. The will also be an informal meeting on Sunday at 1pm where the artists and organisers will converge to discuss political and economic issues related to electronic music.
