Streamable from today – a documentary celebrating pioneering women in electronic music. Narrated by Laurie Anderson and featuring Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel, you know this is going to be an education for anyone ensared by the art of production and the philosophy of experimentation.
With the clubbing scene dead for over a year, reimagining the creative potential for our deserted nightlife spaces seems fitting right now. Corsica Studios, originally a hub of underground music and nightlife, has had time to withdraw and reflect, conceiving a new platform to support, entertain and enrich through art. So Schemata is born. It’s a plan. A blueprint. A vow to remember the void. The time we had nothing. The time we created something from that nothing.
Vortex, Schemata’s first show, reveals the desolate venue. We experience the dislocated and uninhabited space of the club, with its ghostly ambience that is both familiar, yet distorted and unsettling.
Curating works from artists specialising in abstract world views and alternate realities, Vortex aims to coalesce the realms of digital art, film, performance and sound to create a memorial to nightlife and inspire optimism to move beyond.

Demdike Stare // Drum Machines (DDS)
19-03-2021
The latest offering from Demdike Stare, featuring an assortment of pieces with a modded Roland TR-606 at it’s core.
The cassette contains an hours worth of new material featuring the usual fuzzy drum loops, distorted synth lines, and chopped up samples, in a classic DDS style that pairs nicely with a big rig in a dim warehouse.
