Musica Dispersa, Women in Experimental Music

Música Dispersa is a one-person-run experimental music platform, label and radioshow, founded in 2012 and based between Madrid and London, that seeks to disseminate left-field music and art from all over the world from a DIY and self-funded perspective. In early 2019 the project’s mission became focused on making visible the work of female, trans and non-binary artists, in an endeavour to create more balance in a landscape which is still predominantly male-dominated. After organizing a festival with an all female/non-binary and local/national lineup last March in Zapadores, Madrid, Música Dispersa took the initiative to take the same lineup to other cities to aid the artists’ projection in Europe and include local artists to create new opportunities for transborder collaboration.

The artists involved are:
Amas  (Barcelona) 
A.Y  (London)
Beatrix Weapons  (Murcia)  
DJ Ivana Ray Singh  (Barcelona) 
DJ Kristie  (Madrid)
Gaël Segalen 
Jana Jan  (Bilbao)
Lametafisica  (Italy)
Leonie Roessler  (The Hague)
Maia Koenig  (Buenos Aires)
Narcoleptica (Madrid)  
Oliotronix  (Estonia)
Rayuli + Slvj  (Madrid) 
xname  (London)

20/9 Specka,Madrid from 00h to 6h
22/9 Les Nautes,Paris from 20h to 2h

The endeavor requires the costing of flights from various points in Spain to each of the European capitals and inner-city transportation, plus sleeping arrangements and meals for the artists. Taking into account friend’s and local organizers couches, the estimated cost of the tour is 4.500 euros. The estimated revenue from shows will be 2.500 euros (averaging from 80-100 people per show). We’re looking to raise 2.000 euros so that the artists may recover their travel costs and not have to pay-to-play. In the event that more money is raised it will be distributed evenly amongst the artists in payment and the organizer for their work. By donating to our campaign you’re supporting the dissemination of weird/left-field/experimental music in general and the work of female/trans/non-binary artists in particular, creating a safe-space for non-normative free expression and with DIY independent ethos. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to electrifying your world!
