Do female Norders exist? |
 |
|
Hey there,
I'm well aware that music production in general is a very male dominated field. Having said that, there are some females that do compose/produce music.
I have never noticed any female names from members here and was just wondering if there is even a single female member here that enjoys Nording.
It won't make any difference really, but I'm just curious, are there any females here? I suspect that the answer is no, but ask anyway.  _________________

Sure there are women here, but for some reason 99% of the lot are hiding behind middle-aged male chauvinist online personalities.  _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Oh, is this a chauvinstic question?
I suppose it's just as well there aren't any women here to read it.  _________________

My wife is in a band called Pram. You can find more about them;
HERE
and

and

and,

My wife's main/ favorite toy (apart from me of course ) is her Nord Modular
Problem is, having two glorious little 'oscillators' makes it difficult to allow time to program them anymore

I think forums like this are also quite 'gay' places (I was offered a blow-job a couple of years back for eg!!!!!!!!! I didn't know what to say- so I said nothing )
Yes- I think it's a very male dominated place (my wife wouldn't go anywhere near a forum like this- she prefers Spiked.org ). You have to be a bit odd to hang out on forums like this. Maybe that's why she likes me?  |

I realize that shock can make decisions like this difficult. But being the sex god that I am, I have this to deal with constantly, and find "No!" or "No thank you." both obvious and appropriate answers.  _________________ The question is not whether they can talk or reason, but whether they can suffer. -- Jeremy Bentham |

Marije performs with a Micro that gets controled by SuperCollider which is in turn controled by custom electronics, some of which are intergrated into a overall.
She doesn't hide behind a male persona (as far as I know) but for a while she did pretend to be a (much) older female lecuturer. _________________ Kassen |

No, I think it works differently. Living with musicians is very hard because they keep playing half-finished pieces over and over again. I think their partners are very thankfull for the fora because when the musicians are on the fora they'll be quiet for a while.

Well, I think it's good to know that we males are not completely alone when it comes to Nording. I suppose the law of averages suggests that there should be at least, some interested females... I can however understand their reluctance to join totally male dominated forums though!
Mind you, if I was a female Norder, I'd probably love the attention... because I've always loved being 'different', not because I'd be a sl*g!! ... but we'll never know!

Hmmm... Having never being offered such services, I'd prefer to think that I frequent a male dominated forum if you don't mind.
p.s. love the picture Wout!  _________________

Well... That single male knob, pointing to the sky with that little ball on top... More isn't needed to turn a man on, while a female... needs a lot of fine tuning... I think the woman who send this to you wanted to tell the same story...
I never saw the back side of this duo synth, but I'm sure the upper half has no outputs

I think it's very open to interpertation.
I mean; is that top front-pannel realy that different from the G2 engine? Could be that it needs at least as much tuning but that it's not immediately obvious how. ... _________________ Kassen |

The top one obviously has heaps of "undocumented features"
Or maybe it's all in the documentation?
Or possibly the only way of truly appreciating the complexity of the top unit is to be under the influence of some mind altering drug. Like, ummm,...... estrogen?  _________________ If we thought and said hateful, discouraging, demeaning things to our friends,.....
