Wow this episode is powerful stuff! We need more female*, trans and non-binary music producers, and Ivy is creating a beautiful safe space for people of marginalised genders to nurture and develop their skills with her collective, Éclat Crew Berlin. Ivy Rossiter, also known as Yvois, is an Aotearoa (New Zealand)-born, Berlin-based producer of warm, wonky beats and singer moody aural treats. Armed with a collection of dusty guitar pedals, warbling tape machines and a smattering of found sounds, she creates chill electronica and low key grooves in her treetop home studio. She is also the founder of Éclat Crew Berlin – a collective of female*, trans & non-binary electronic music producers. Éclat is French for an explosion of brilliance - and this project sure is! Ivy tells us all about Éclat, its purpose to provide a safe space for creating music, and how she secured funding for this amazing community venture. In this episode Ivy told us about the grieving process she went through when she let go of her past acoustic project, but how much joy her new path of electronic music has brought her.We also talk about the deeply rooted belief that many women have when it comes to music technology and the importance of creating a safe space for marginalised communities to create. This episode is packed full of golden nuggets of wisdom and connection, Ivy is incredible, so be sure to follow her journey:BandCamp: http://yvois.bandcamp.comSoundCloud: www.soundcloud.com/iam_yvoisInstagram: www.instagram.com/iam_yvoisÉclat: www.eclatcrew.com The documentary that Ivy mentioned: https://sisterswithtransistors.com/"Why Aren't There More Female Music Producers"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ipb81z46kIAnd the Technology and the Gendering of Music Education book we talk about: https://tinyurl.com/3uk9zmy9Thank you so much for listening to this week's episode of Art-Work.
