Villa Lontana Records presents at MACRO Sisters with Transistors (2020) a film by Lisa Rovner. This documentary is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today. Theremins, synthesizers and feedback machines abound in this glorious ode to the women who helped shape, not just electronic music but the contemporary soundscape as we know it.

The film, narrated by Laurie Anderson, maps a new history of electronic music through the visionary women whose radical experimentations with machines redefined the boundaries of music, including Suzanne Ciani, Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Laurie Spiegel and Pauline Oliveros.

The film is presented by Vittoria Bonifati with the support of Villa Lontana Records. After the screening there will be a conversation between Lisa Rovner, Vittoria Bonifati and Chiara C. Siravo.
