Here is the list of names I received of women in idm/ambient/etc. I was most interested in women recording solo instrumental rather than vocals with a band. My impression was that there aren't any like Aphex Twin or Autechre, who just use machines to produce music. Now I know I'm not the only one. (I already knew that but it's nice to actually have the names!) Here's the list with as much information as I have. Please forgive any inaccuracies, I'm merely repeating what I received: Lisa Carbon (on Rephlex) Mira Calix (on Warp) Jan Hanford (on AD) Andrea Parker (on Mo Wax) Riz Mazlen (aka Small fish with spine and Neotropic) Sara Campbell (on the pc music label) Kelli Hand Marusha Chelsea Grin Nicolette SIL (from Finland on Sahko) Happy Rhodes (singer but did idm tracks on Aural Gratification compilations) Steps-Dis-Charge (featured on the Instinct compilation, Ambient Systems II) K Hand Saskia Sledgers (DJAX-UP-BEATS) Half of GTO/Tricky Disco (sadly deceased) Cosie Fan Tutti (from Chris & Cosey) Kymm Seranno (on Ersatz Audio) I got a few names of women singers in bands that have idm and ambient elements in their music. I think they are important but their contribution is different: the female singer of Loop Guru Bjork Sarah Peacock (Seefeel) Beth Gibbons (Portishead) Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins) Kate Bush (one of the earliest users of the Fairlight) ...and there are many others, I'm sure Thanks for all the information, everyone.

Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance by I was under the impression that Lisa Carbon and Atom Heart are the same person (a male one). C. -- cspot@hyperreal.com (Chris.Hilker)

It was my impression Lisa Carbon is another name for Atom Heart, and not an actual person. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

No way man... and other man. Um, I have this theory that Lisa Carbon is indeed her own person. Beautiful dark skin and all. She lives in South America (Chile? I can't remeber dammit) and does reeeeeeally nice jazz-flavored salsa and meringue electronica. I'm not sure who exactly the `trio' or the `friends' consist of on her earlier (Pod) releases other than the obvious Uwe Schmidt, but the three on "Polyester" are Lisa, Uwe, and Pete. Hell, all three are even pictured on the front sleeve of this album. koolman. .`-). @@ -' christopher miller o.' evil@digital.net ' p.s. E-mail me directly for the Uwe Schmidt Grocery List.

Great list! thanks :) While we are on the topic, can anyone suggest any other trance/ambient chanteuse divas of note that I should look for? Vocalists that is? tia
