Pinknoises.com is an independent web site about women who are DJs, electronic musicians + sound artists. It aims to counteract the lack of coverage of women artists in electronic music magazines and history books, to make technical information on music production more widely accessible to women + girls, and to provide space for interrogating issues of gender, music + technology.
Pinknoises launched in 2000 and was nominated Best Music Web Site at the 2003 Webby Awards. The press calls it:
"Everything you ever wanted to know about electronic music and the women making it." - Nylon
"A wonderfully diverse international mix of interviews, essays, reviews, and links." - Billboard
"A thoughtful, well-written website." - XLR8R
"Well designed with pithy essays on music culture." - UK Guardian
"An electrifying read." - Flavorpill
"Exploring largely uncharted territory on distinct fronts." - Artbyte
"Plenty of intelligent articles, equipment reviews, interviews... Go girls!" - The Wire
"Pinknoises doesn't just talk girl power, they enable it." - Mixer
Pinknoises is published by musician + writer Analog Tara. Thanks to Karen Choy for original logo + design.
*Pink noises are variations of white noise (unstructured sound containing every frequency within the range of human hearing), which are filtered to give apparent emphasis to bass frequencies, resulting in sound waves with equal amounts of energy at every octave. More bass, more equality: we like that.
