about

“We tested the model that sexist discrimination, measured by the Schedule of Sexist Events (SSE), would account for additional variance in women’s physical and psychiatric symptoms, above and beyond that accounted for by generic stressors.... [Sexist] discrimination accounted for more of the variance than did generic stressors in premenstrual, depressive, obsessive-compulsive, somatic, and total psychiatric and physical symptoms. These findings suggest that sexist discrimination plays a significant role in women’s most prevalent symptoms.” Landrine et al., (1995), Physical and Psychiatric Correlates of Gender Discrimination.

Thembi Soddell is a sound artist and electroacoustic composer from Victoria, Australia. Her volatile sound worlds morph, shift, rupture, and dis-rupture into filmic atmospheres with a distinctly disquieting edge. Her sound palate sources field recordings, objects, instruments, and electronics to be suggestive but ambiguous, while her compositions often explore dynamic extremes and thresholds of perception. She has a BA in Media Arts (2002) and Honours in Sound Art (2005) from RMIT University, where she is now a PhD candidate. Her research focuses on the articulation of psychological experiences of illness and distress in sound practice. She has released two solo CDs and two CDs in collaboration with cellist Anthea Caddy, with whom she has twice toured Europe. Thembi recently guest curated a program for the National Gallery of Victoria’s Melbourne Now-Now Hear This exhibition and assisted in running Australian experimental music label Cajid Media.
