The advent of electronic music in the 20th century was a radical break from alI musical traditions that came before it. Narrated by legendary multimedia artist Laurie Anderson, Lisa Rovner’s superb Sisters with Transistors showcases the music of and rare interviews with femaIe electronic pioneers Clara Rockmore, Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, ÉIiane Radigue, Maryanne Amacher, Bebe Barron, Suzanne Ciani, Pauline OIiveros, Laurie Spiegel, and Wendy Carlos. As Rovner’s documentary demonstrates, these women—many of whom were cIassically trained musicians, brilIiant mathematicians, or a combination of both—relished the freedom of electronic music, even as they were discriminated against because of their gender and because of their chosen medium. Through their inventiveness and rebelIion, these traiIblazers’ music went on to influence musicians working in a variety of genres, and proved the worthiness of going eIectric.
