This is not like a regular MySpace profile. It's solely for the promotion of women artists creating art music. This means that it should be treated like a database of women composers (i.e. there are no profiles listed among the friends that are not women creating art music). The point is for people to come here and browse the friends in order to discover women artists. I wish to bring women who are creating art music to the forefront and to show that there are a number of talented and highly creative women working in this medium. The term “art music†is a broad one, but my definition of it includes contemporary classical, experimental, electro-acoustic, avant-garde jazz and noise genres. The reason I’m concentrating on this genre of music is firstly because I create art music myself, and secondly because this music has very few outlets for people to get their work heard. And so women creating art music are at an even greater disadvantage than our more popular counterparts. So look through the friends found here and you will discover new and exciting music and artists.
As this is a promotional site, I will not be accepting friends' requests from anyone who isn't a woman creating music in the genres outlined above (contemporary classical, experimental, electro-acoustic, avant-garde jazz or noise or a mixture thereof). If you are not a woman creating art music but are wishing to show support to our cause, you can leave a link to this MySpace profile to bring attention to all the creative women who reside here. Hell, my own husband isn't allowed to join so that should tell you I'm serious about this.
