Sisters with Transistors with Lisa Rovner

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to transform how music is produced and listened to today. These visionary women embarked on radical experimentation, creating the sounds of the future with tape reels, scissors, and sticky tape as their primary means. But unfortunately, when electronic music was finally recognized, they were almost forgotten. Lisa Rovner rectifies this imbalance with rare archives showing their wild creativity and celebrating their contributions with style and substance. Laurie Anderson lends her voice to the narration. She guides us through this fascinating journey of the evolution of electronic music from a female perspective, where we learn how new devices opened music to an entirely new field of sound and 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. Facebook: @sisterswithtransistors  |  Instagram: @sisterswithtransistors  |  Episode Website:  film website  For show notes, visit docsinorbit.com and be sure to follow us on social media @docsinorbit
