  • “A Rare Diamond”, “A Voice Blessed”, “A Singer Destined for Great Things” “A Voice of Great Emotional Resonance”
    Described by the US and British press as “A rare diamond”, “A voice blessed”, “A singer destined for great things” “A voice of great emotional resonance” ”Brave and original.” - The Guardian “Shines with authentic light” – American Songwriter “A voice that is both majestic and heartwarming“- Huffington Post “A star” - Billboard Magazine Athena keeps touching peoples’ hearts with her powerfully emotive voice. Athena Andreadis is one of those people who live and breathe and think and talk about music and she writes with the same sort of direct focus. During a one hour Channel 5 / Sky Arts documentary made about her in the UK, legendary songwriter Chris Difford (Squeeze) described Athena as someone who, “writes and sings from the heart. She doesn't need to be packaged by anyone – she is simply and beautifully her." She has the same sort of clear artistic vision that marks out Billie Eilish or Adele or John Legend and it’s matched with a fresh, limitless ambition. Born in London to Greek parents, Athena’s mother would sing her to sleep. Despite all the music around the house, the young Athena was encouraged to study business, so she headed to Bath University but continued performing. After securing a First Class Degree in Business, Athena enrolled at Trinity College, London, where she graduated from with two post-graduate degrees in Classical and Jazz Voice. Her consistent performing throughout her school years inevitably lead to Athena recording her debut album, Breathe With Me, which drew many excellent reviews, indeed The Guardian commenting that she was “Brave and original.

  • Music, Electronic Media and Culture About the Volume
    Music, Electronic Media and Culture About the volume: There has never been greater public exposure to the musical products of electronic technology than there is today. Pubs, clubs, restaurants, banks and shops offer new environments for the experience of musical sound, in addition to the conventional concert hall. There are now many different ways to make music, and, thanks to the loudspeaker, many different ways of listening. This new world of musical sound and the questions it poses are explored in the nine essays that comprise this volume. At the heart of the collection is the myriad of confusing and exciting possibilities that are raised by sound that we hear but whose source we cannot see – the acousmatic. Part One of the book challenges the received wisdom of generations of writing on the acousmatic, providing new perspectives including an ecological view of human perception. The essays in Part Two explore the ways in which the history and plurality of culture has itself become the object of musical creativity in the form of sampling or plundering. In Part Three the potential fields of sound perception offered by the imagination are probed and given a ‘textual’ voice in Katharine Norman’s concluding essay to the volume. This uses the text itself as a medium for expressing the multi-layered reflections that a listener may have to ‘the work’ of music. About the editor: Simon Emmerson is Reader in Music at City University, London. A composer and writer, he was first prize winner at the Bourges Electroacoustic Awards in 1985 for his work Time Past IV.
