Sisters with Transistors with DJ Miss Kitty
Today’s Cause & Effect will take you on a journey through the groundbreaking world of women pioneers in electronic music. Inspired by the documentary Sisters with Transistors, we explore the untold stories of visionaries who revolutionized the way we think about sound. From the experimental compositions of early innovators like Clara Rockmore and Delia Derbyshire to the bold, boundary-pushing work of artists like Wendy Carlos and Laurie Anderson, this show celebrates the women who shaped electronic music, often in the shadows of their male counterparts. Tune in to discover the sounds and stories that are as electric as the women who created them.
