#Repost @sisterswithtransistors “Technology is a tremendous liberator. It blows up power structures. Women were naturally drawn to electronic music. You didn’t have to be accepted by any of the male-dominated resources. You could make something with electronics and you could present the music directly to the audience–and that gives you tremendous freedom.” – Laurie Spiegel. ⁣ ✨#SistersWithTransistors is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today.⁣ ⁣ The film maps a new history of electronic music through the visionary women whose radical experimentations with machines redefined the boundaries of music, including Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel.⁣ ⁣ The history of women has been a history of silence. Music is no exception. ⁣ ⁣ 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.⁣ ⁣ With Laurie Anderson as our narrator, we’ll embark on a fascinating journey through the evolution of electronic music. We’ll learn how new devices opened music to the entire field of sound, how electronic music not only changed the modes of production but in its wide-ranging effects also transformed the very terms of musical thought.⁣ ⁣ 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. #womeninelectronicmusic #femalepioneers #electronicmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CBY95-WhOcv/?igshid=ggee3aqcp0va

In-Edit 2020 International Music Documentary Film Festival: another excellent film in 'Sisters With Transistors' shown on In-Edit TV. This is the untold story of female pioneers in electronic music going back to the 1920s. I'm not too proud to admit I was ignorant about some of these artists, and alongside their stories, 'Sisters With Transistors' also serves as a testament to electronic music. Abstract sounds have meaning, and they can lead to radical ideas; through noise comes liberation. I was particularly struck by the work of Pauline Oliveros and her sonic explorations; Delia Derbyshire too and how her experiences of growing up in Coventry during the Blitz influenced her music. Highly recommended and narrated by Laurie Anderson.
