Dark Sound - Feminine Voices in Sonic Shadow

Dark Sound is a concept bound to music that embodies 'dark' themes such as melancholy, death, desire, violence, loss and longing. This text interrogates the attraction to dark sound and its historical association with femininity through case studies such as Moor Mother, Anna Calvi, Chelsea Wolfe, concluding with the intensely political repertoire of Greek-American composer and singer Diamanda Galas.
