Sisters With Transistors - Lisa Rovner, 2020

Éliane Radigue, Wendy Carlos, Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Suzanne Ciani, Laurie Spiegel. These little-known legends of electronic music mixed academic composition with experimentation and the sounds of cinema, television and advertising. From the 50s to the 80s, armed with their synthesizers, oscillators, filters and sequencers — intimidating “machines of the future” whose artistic destiny had yet to be invented — they changed the course of music history. An exultant documentary that celebrates the heroines of the sound studio and true pioneers of modernity, narrated by the great Laurie Anderson.
