@sisterswithtransistors film is released today in the US via
@metrographpictures and in the UK via
@modernfilmsent .
Sisters With Transistors is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, featuring Daphne Oram amongst other composers as Clara Rockmore, Bebe Barron, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today.
Narrated by
@laurieandersonofficial , the film maps a new history of electronic music through these visionary women whose radical experimentations with machines redefined the boundaries of music.
But this history of women has been a history of silence. As one of the film’s subjects,
@laurie.Spiegel explains: “We women were especially drawn to electronic music when the possibility of a woman composing was in itself controversial. Electronics let us make music that could be heard by others without having to be taken seriously by the male dominated Establishment.” With the wider social, political and cultural context of the 20th century as our backdrop, this all archival documentary reveals a unique emancipation struggle, restoring the central role of women in the history of music and society at large.
Sisters with Transistors is more than just the history of a music genre: it's the story of how we hear and the critical but little-known role female pioneers play in that story.
Head to our link in bio to embark on a fascinating journey through the evolution of electronic music.
