TARA RODGERS (Analog Tara), originally from upstate New York, is based in Montreal. She performed jazz piano in NYC in the mid-1990s and has made electronic music and sound art for about 10 years. Recent projects include a quiet album of piano and field recordings; a live techno set; and sound installations based on butterfly migrations, human population shifts, and urban landscapes. Her music received the 2007 New Genre Prize from the International Alliance of Women in Music, and a 2006 Frog Peak Experimental Music Award. She also writes about feminist theory, sound, and audio technologies. Tara taught at the Museum School in Boston in 2004-05, and was a Canada-U.S. Fulbright scholar in 2006-07.
PINK NOISES was a webzine and will soon be a book. The webzine, Pinknoises.com, was founded by Analog Tara in 2000 and designed by Karen Choy. It was created to counteract the lack of coverage of women in electronic music magazines and history books, and to make technical information on music production more accessible to women and girls. As Mixer magazine put it: "Pinknoises doesn't just talk girl power, they enable it." The book, under contract with Duke University Press, is an anthology of 24 interviews with women of various generations and cultural backgrounds who are DJs, electronic music producers, and sound installation artists.
