“How do you exorcise the canon of classical music of misogyny? With two oscillators, a turntable and tape delay.”
-Narrator, Laurie Anderson.
June 18th, SISTERS WITH TRANSISTERS (2021) Written and Directed by Lisa Rovner, 84 minutes, United Kingdom.
The history of women is a history of silence. Until they insisted on being heard. SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to radically transform how we produce and listen to music today. Narrated by Laurie Anderson, the film maps a new history of electronic music through the visionary women whose radical experimentations with machines redefined the boundaries of music and restored the central role of women in the history of music and society at large. The history of women is a history of silence. Until they insisted on being heard. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r-3hlzpV7M
