Sisters with Transistors + DJ Workshop with Miss World

Sisters with Transistors

Sisters with Transistors takes us on a rhythmic journey through the previously silent histories of women in electronic music. Brought to life with archive and the voice of Laurie Anderson, the film documents the evolution of ‘woman + machine’. It is an immersive, empowering study of a radical practice from musicians such as Daphne Oram and Eliane Radigue, that remains deeply relevant today. The documentary’s director Lisa Rovner beautifully weaves the women’s tales together to reflect upon the community and transmission behind the sounds of today.
