Softenon Babe is a french industrial music project.
Some may describe its sound as hauntingly gnarly yet somehow melancholic.
Softenon Babe actually draws inspiration from the eerie and captivating sounds of 90s Death Industrial as well as earlier harsher experiments by Industrial Music and Power Electronics pioneers.
But Softenon Babe is more than just music; it’s a way for Emma – the individual behind it – to tell stories of disability’s treatment by society and other medical tragedies.
This approach results in an unique blend of sonic exploration and narrative, crafting an immersive experience that leaves a lasting impact on the listener.
It’s also a way for Emma to get a well deserved revenge on all the people who crushed so many kids’ dreams by claiming disabled people can’t play music. Suffer now!
I tell stories, grim and desperate ones, mostly about disability and how Society treats it. And i bury them deep in gritty soundscapes, adorned with some synth lines.
