Sept 22, 2023: DESIRE PATHS
|
In 2000, while studying cello, composition, and electronic music at UC Santa Cruz, Erica Mulkey chose
the stage name Unwoman from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. She had been writing
songs since age 13, inspired by Tori Amos and Trent Reznor (hey, it was the 90s) but her first public releases on
on mp3.com were wildly experimental -- then in 2005 she had an epiphany that she wanted to focus on writing Actual Songs. She currently works full-time as a
cellist-singer-songwriter-producer and is based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the
Before Time Unwoman performed at steampunk conventions and major events all over the US.
Her song "The Heroine" was featured in
both Welcome to Night Vale's "Triptych"
episode and the steampunk documentary Vintage Tomorrows.
In 2015 she received the Steampunk Chronicle Reader's Choice Award for Best Solo Musician and Best
Album with Circling.
She has also collaborated with Halou/Stripmall Architecture, Eliza Rickman, Anthony Jones & Monica Richards, Vernian Process, Abney Park, Amanda Palmer, Rasputina, Voltaire, Nathaniel Johnstone, The Cog Is Dead, Paul Mercer, and many other acts. In Summer of 2023 Unwoman held her 19th successful kickstarter campaign for her ninth original album
Desire Paths. She has also released seven full volumes of dramatic and imaginative cover songs. She continues to
do all her own engineering and production, and relishes all stages of song creation.
