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 sound installations based on butterfly migrations, human population shifts, and urban landscapes; a quiet album of piano and field recordings; and a live techno set. She received the 2007 New Genre Prize from the International Alliance of Women in Music, and a 2006 Frog Peak Experimental Music Award. Her work has been exhibited at venues including Eyebeam and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. Recordings have been released on the Le Tigre Remix 12" and other compilations.

Tara also writes on feminist theory and the history of sound and audio technologies. She founded the critically-acclaimed website Pinknoises.com in 2000, and a related collection of interviews with women who make electronic music and sound art is forthcoming from Duke University Press in 2010.
