“Psyche" The California-born but New Zealand-raised Reb Fountain is one of the most beguiling, affecting and captivating musicians out there. And people are catching on. She's won the esteemed Taite Music Prize, she was shortlisted for the Silver Scroll award for her track "Don't You Know Who I Am" and she was nominated for five New Zealand Music Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Solo Artist. She's played sold-out shows across New Zealand, she opened for Crowded House on their To The Island Tour and she played a spellbinding set at the Splore music festival. Spellbinding is a great way to describe Reb Fountain's music. Or at least it's a good place to start because one word does not do the trick. Her songs are dark blasts of gothy noir infused with punk, folk and indie rock. And her new album Iris is as captivating as it gets—lush, jagged, and cinematic, Iris is stirring, hypnotic and unreasonably beautiful. In this conversation, Reb talks to Alex about how she ended up in New Zealand, what it was like working with the Finn family and why she's happy to be an honorary Californian. www.rebfountain.com.nz www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com STEREO EMBERS THE PODCAST Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

One early electronic instrument often mentioned may be the Theremin, invented by Professor Léon Theremin circa 1919–1920.[6] Other early electronic instruments include the Audion Piano invented in 1915 by Lee De Forest who was inventor of triode audion as mentioned above.
