fem.pop is a long-term study by the Archive of Austrian Popular Music (SRA) on women in Austrian pop music. SRA has analyzed its database on the Austrian music scene, which has been built up over two decades, conducted interviews with Austrian female musicians and music industry employees and compiled information to provide an insight into the gender distribution in popular Austrian music. the data is now publicly available in 2014.
In clear graphics, the statistics provide information on the gender distribution in various fields of activity in the music industry. There are areas in which the proportion of women is significantly higher than the overall ratio, such as booking/management, promotion and photography, while other domains are almost exclusively occupied by men, such as running a recording studio. Women are heavily underrepresented when it comes to instruments and band compositions.
Roswitha Kröll has compiled these sad statistics for you in an interview with musicians and women in the music industry.
Helene Grießlehner aka helahoop - musician and musicologist, Ulli Mayer - from the pink noiseGirlsRockCamp association and Birgit Michlmayer aka Mayr - musician and label operator talked about what it's like to be and become a pop or rock musician in Austria.
