AES San Francisco Section Event – Sisters With Transistors Screening

Agenda

6:00-7:30 pm: Film Screening

7:45-8:30 pm: Live conversation with Suzanne Ciani

AES San Francisco is inviting you to a very special, one-night screening of Sisters with Transistors at the historic Roxie Theater, followed by a live conversation with Suzanne Ciani, one of the artists featured in the film.

Sisters with Transistors 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. The film features Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel.

With Laurie Anderson as our narrator, we’ll embark on a fascinating journey through the evolution of electronic music. We’ll learn how new devices opened music to the entire field of sound, how electronic music not only changed the modes of production but in its wide-ranging effects also transformed the very terms of musical thought.

Sisters with Transistors is more than just the history of a music genre: it’s the story of the critical but little-known role that female pioneers played at its beginning.

Whether you’re an electronic music history fan, a synthesizer enthusiast, or just want to support underrepresented minorities in the arts, you won’t want to miss this very special event!

AES members will receive a promo code via email to get your ticket at 50% off the general admission price!
