Featuring, Clara Rockmore, Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Éliane Radigue, Maryanne Amacher, Pauline Oliveros, Suzanne Ciani, Laurie Spiegel, Wendy Carlos.Narrated by Laurie Anderson.The advent of electronic music in the 20th century was a radical break from all 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 female electronic pioneers Clara Rockmore, Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Éliane Radigue, Maryanne Amacher, Bebe Barron, Suzanne Ciani, Pauline Oliveros, Laurie Spiegel, and Wendy Carlos. As Rovner's documentary demonstrates, these women, many of whom were classically trained musicians, brilliant 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 rebellion, these trailblazers' music went on to influence musicians working in a variety of genres and proved the worthiness of going electric.English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingDVD ; NTSC, region 1; wide screen (16x9) and full screen (1.33:1) ; 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo.
