Sisters with Transistors, they were visionaries

Although electronic music has historically been considered a genre dominated by men, the truth is that women have played a fundamental role in its evolution. From the early days of the genre, many women have significantly contributed to the creation and development of devices, techniques, and styles that have defined electronic music as we know it today. This documentary focuses on the history of these pioneers and visionaries whose radical experiments with machines have redefined the limits of music.

Among the women featured in the documentary are Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Pauline Oliveros, Wendy Carlos, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel. Each of them has made significant contributions in their field, opening new paths and breaking barriers in a world that has historically been dominated by men.

Through their stories, the documentary shows how these women have managed to overcome the challenges and barriers that were presented to them, to create innovative music that has had a great impact on contemporary music culture. Ultimately, this documentary is a celebration of the crucial role that women have played in the evolution of electronic music and a call to recognize and value their legacy.
