27 - Kate Simko - Underplayed

Sound Perspective - A podcast by Sound Perspective

Categories:

Kate Simko is a composer in London who's worked across a wide variety of docos and fiction films as well as having had a long career as an EDM DJ. Her most recent work is on the documentary Underplayed, which explores the issue of the lack of female-identifying DJs and the history of women in electronic music. We chatted about the influence of her upbringing in the Chicago music scene, her career as a DJ, finding a sound palette that sat between the music styles of Underplayed's participants, and why there are so few women composers.
