Ever since, I've been adding names almost every day to an ever-expanding document, with a short biography for each, collated from online press or the artist’s website.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a long time, I wondered what form to give to this database. I didn't want an academic approach, moreover I am neither a musicologist nor even an essayist but a novelist and a poet. When Valentina and I decided to found our all-female experimental music label, we thought it was time to give it a try. My book does not claim to be exhaustive, not even to cover the innumerable fields covered by the term \"experimental music\", but it will invite readers to open up and set out to discover a very rich and largely unrecognised universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI think of all the curators who say that they would like to move towards a parity of guest artists but that they don't know where to find women, and I dream that this book will be part of the answer – not as it would prescribe but as it would just say \"Hey guys, open your eyes, they are just there, they are everywhere...\" (Fanny Chiarello)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasta Now serves as a joyful read, a beautifully designed object, and a timely reminder of a prevailing bias in the contemporary arts landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFanny Chiarello has previously published novels, poetry, and children’s literature in France, notably A Happy Woman: One Month in New York with Meredith Monk.
