Description

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to transform how we produce and listen to music 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. They were all women and 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 both style and substance. Laurie Anderson lends her voice to the narration and guides us through this fascinating journey of the evolution of electronic music from a female perspective. The film was awarded the Next Wave Special Mention at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen following its first showing at SXSW, and will screen at Sheffield Doc Fest later this fall. Facebook: @sisterswithtransistors  |  Instagram: @sisterswithtransistors  |  Episode Website:  film website
