SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS 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.

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.”

Vor dem Film wird es ein Konzert mit LiÆN geben:
LiÆN spielt Lieder gemischt aus Stimme und schiefen Instrumentalspuren, begleitet von verzerrten Erinnerungen und Gefühlen, sei es von persischem Autolärm, kreischenden Flamingos oder der täglichen Straßenbahnfahrt. Im Frühjahr 2021 ist ihr Debütalbum bei dem Nürnberger Label VERYDEEPRECORDS erschienen.
Set: 30-40 Minuten
