The Women of ELECTRONIC MUSIC! From the 30's to the 70's!
Before synthesizers, electronic music was honed the hard way in universities, by splicing tape loops, distorting sounds, endless dubbing, and blind instinct. Here are the timeless women of future music who created our present...
Since the 1930's, CLARA ROCKMORE was the master of the notoriously difficult Theremin, and later championed by synthesizer-creator Bob Moog; LOUIS & BEBE BARRON created the first all-electronic score for the film "FORBIDDEN PLANET" (1957), using oscillated sounds and tape loops; //STUDIO d'ASSAI (Paris): Danish ELSE MARIE PADE studied under musique concrete founder Pierre Schaeffer, becoming a noted composer; ELAINE RADIGUE used the Buchla and Arp synthesizers in her work, heavily influenced by Buddhist meditation, and records now with laptop improv group The Lappetites; MICHELE BOKANOWSKI has composed for film, televison, and theatre; //BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP (London): ...was created and directed by DAPHNE ORAM, inventor and sonic pioneer; she was followed by DELIA DERBYSHIRE, who brought Ron Grainer's "DR. WHO" theme to brilliant, eerie life with her studio wizardry; MADDALENA FAGANDINI co-created the proto-Techno single "Time Beat/ Waltz In Space" (1962) with young producer George Martin under the alias 'Ray Cathode'; GLYNIS JONES produced some of the Workshop's classic albums like "Out Of This World" (1976); ELIZABETH PARKER scored many BBC shows including "BLAKE'S 7", and was the person to see the Workshop out in its 1998 finale; //Fluxus performance artist YOKO ONO expanded John Lennon's mind and range with electronic music, musique concrete, and 'happening' experiments; //COLUMBIA-PRINCETON ELECTRONIC MUSIC CENTER (New York): A premiere focal point for international composers since the 50's, including composer and Associate Director PRIL SMILEY; ALICE SHIELDS combined her operatic voice and poetry with the revolutionary synthesizers of the late 60's and early 70's; teacher DARIA SEMEGEN wrote traditional classical music as well as electronic; WENDY CARLOS had massive mainstream success with the all-synth "Switched On Bach", before writing groundbreaking film scores for "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE," "THE SHINING" and 'TRON"; nearby at Bell Labs, LAURIE SPIEGEL spearheaded computer graphics and software design as well as new music; maverick ANNETTE PEACOCK went from Free Jazz piano to the first synthesizers, threading her early 70's raps and rock with freeform electronics; //Argentinian BEATRIZ FERREYRA, who also studied with Schaeffer, is an esteemed composer and teacher; //SAN FRANCISCO TAPE MUSIC CENTER: The crucial West Coast electronic center, including Morton Subotnick, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and PAULINE OLIVEROS in 1962; it moved across the Bay to become the... //CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC (Mills College, Oakland, CA): Oliveros was the first Director, perfecting her signal processing system for live performance; student and now Co-Director MAGGI PAYNE trailblazed video imagery and record engineering along with her music; alum CYNTHIA WEBSTER played in the early synth band Triode, founded electro mag SYNAPSE, and now runs Cyndustries designing software for electronic music, such as the Zeroscillator.
Their innovations led to Progressiv Rock, Krautrock, New Wave, Coldwave, Darkwave, Electro Funk, Industrial, Techno, and Electroclash. Their fringe future music is now the soundtrack of today.
DELIA DERBYSHIRE: This song is from a 1972 LP called "Electrosonic", collecting music library pieces Delia scored for use in TV shows. It was recently issued on CD, as was "Oramics" by Daphne Oram:

THE DANCE -"Do-DaDa" (1980)
The women of 80's Alternative Dance music!
Rock'n'Roll started as dance music, from a euphemism for sex. Disco was another variation of trying to keep that roll in the hips. When mainstream success began dumbing it down in the late 70's, many acts rescued the primal pulse by rethinking how to make great dance music...
//Disco: DONNA SUMMER and Georgio Moroder; BONEY M; SYLVESTER; CLOUT; GINA X; CHRISMA/KRISMA; //SKA Revival: THE SELECTER w/ Pauline Black; The BODYSNATCHERS who became The BELLE STARS; // World-Dub: THE SLITS; //Mutant Disco: PIGBAG; The DANCE w/ Eugenie Diserio, LIZZY MERCIER DESCLOUX, E.S.G., The BLOODS, MAXIMUM JOY, BUSH TETRAS, The MO-DETTES, PULSALLAMA, CRISTINA, and DOMINATRIX; SHANNON; GRACE JONES; //Alt-Dance: DANIELLE DAX; The ART OF NOISE; NEW AGE STEPPERS w/ Ari Up and Neneh Cherry; Little ANNIE ANXIETY Bandez; SIX SED RED; DISLOCATION DANCE; TOTO COELO; SHAZORK; //World Dance: The CREATURES w/ Siouxsie Sioux; ALLEZ ALLEZ w/ Sarah Osborne; MONSOON w/ Sheila Chandra; AMAZULU; Lisa DALBELLO; BIG PIG w/ Sherine Abeyratne; //Alt-Dance II: EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL w/ Tracey Thorn; PIZZICATO 5 w/ Maki Nomiya; LES RITA MITSOUKO w/ Catherine Ringer; SAINT ETIENNE w/ Sarah Cracknell; ALASKA y DINARAMA; MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT w/ Cinderella Pussy and Pepper Somerset; PARIS ANGELS w/ Jane Gill; and DEEE-LITE w/ Lady Miss Kier.
These acts were the throughline from Disco to Eurodisco, Synthpop, Hi -NRG, House, Techno, Drum'n'Bass, Jungle, Turntablism, Trance, Ambient, Chillout, and Electronica. From them come Happy Mondays, Flippers Guitar, Stereolab, Bjork, Morcheeba, Portishead, Tricky, Lords of Acid, Basement Jaxx, Current 93, Republica, Garbage, Renegade Soundwave, Daft Punk, No Doubt, Le Tigre, The GO! Team, Chicks On Speed, Lesbians On Ecstasy, Scissor Sisters, and Ibiza culture.
THE DANCE were part of the 1978-84 New York music renaissance, where all styles collided and created the next two decades of sound/fashion/film culture. Learn much more at:

The Women of 80's RETRO, Part 1! From Rockabilly to Beat Music!
See Part 2: THE BROOD-"I Need You There/ I'll Put You Down" (1988)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=19f7LegF--0
The 70's youth was haunted by their 50's and 60's youth. From Pub Rock to Punk, The Runaways to The Ramones, rock'n'roll and leather returned. In between Punk and New Wave, revivalists created a sort of 'Nuevo Retro', reinventing the sounds of their youth for the future.
NIKKI & The CORVETTES (Detroit '80) keyed up Chuck Berry rock'n'roll; VENUS & THE RAZORBLADES' (L.A. 77) punk pop w/ Nikki Razorblade (red), and rockabilly-filly DYAN DIAMOND (79); JOAN JETT channeled Chuck (LA 76); RACHEL SWEET swung the pelvis (Akron 78); folkie JOAN ARMATRADING rewired rockabilly and rock styles (Birmingham, UK 77); psychobilly THE CRAMPS w/ Poison Ivy and Candy del Mar (Sacramento 76); deathrock 45 GRAVE w/ Dinah Cancer (LA 79); ICI PARIS w/ Marie Al Kah Raz, and Anicée Alvina (Paris 79); garage-abilly with The ZANTEES (Brooklyn 78) and The A-BONES (84), w/ drummer Miriam Linna; rock'n'girl-group -haunted SHEENA & The ROKKETS (Japan 79); German rockabillies The ACE CATS (82); proud revivalists The DEAD BEATS w/ leader Suzy May (US/UK 85); trash rock TEXAS TERRI BOMB (Austin 84) started out with The Killer Crows; moving into roots revival now with the cow punk of TEXACALA JONES & The HORSE HEADS (Austin 82); cowpunk supergroup SCREAMIN' SIRENS w/ Rosie Flores (LA 84); roots rock LONE JUSTICE w/ Maria McKee (LA 82); the folk rock of The TEXTONES w/ Carla Olson and Kathy Valentine (LA 79); k.d. lang retooled classic country (Alberta 87); lastly, leading us into retro Power Pop with The PRETENDERS w/ Chrissie Hynde; girl group punks The B-GIRLS (Toronto 80); pop rock with The ORCHIDS (Hollywood 80) in the wake of The Runaways; jangle-billy TIGER LILY w/ Laura Molina (LA 82); The DELMONTES w/ Julie Hepburn and Bernice Simpson (Edinburgh 79); power punk HOLLY & The ITALIANS w/ Holly Beth Vincent (LA 78); punk pop JANE AIRE & The BELVEDERES (Akron 78); olde-folke inflected rock from ROBIN LANE & The CHARTBUSTERS (Boston 80); mod wave NERVOUS REX w/ Trixie A. Baum, Diane Athey, and Miriam Linna (NY 80); SUZY SAXON & The ANGLOS (Richmond, VA 84); and timeless garage pop with The CATHOLIC GIRLS (Springfield, NJ 82).
NIKKI & The CORVETTES were Nikki Corvette with backup from Lori Jeri and Sally Dee. Fueled on the MC5 and The Stooges in Detroit, Nikki hit NYC as Punk was first exploding. The classic 1980 self-titled LP blends 50's Rock, sassy girl group, bubble gum pop melodies, punk's edge, and lots of unbridled lust. In their song, "Gimme My Radio," The Donnas sang, "I wanna be like Nikki Corvette." Nikki is on a fab comeback right now with new music and world tours.
These women ensured classic rock styles would not fade away. Because of them we now have The Donnas, The Raveonettes, Broadzilla, Kay Lenz, Rosie Flores, The Black Stripe, Marti Brom, Candye Kane, Neko Case, The Deadutantes, The Horror Pops, The Formaldebrides, Reverse Cowgirl, Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Betty Blowtorch, and the explosion of Varla culture.

THE BROOD are a garage quartet from Portland, Maine. They've released four albums of brilliant fuzz-soaked garage rock since 1988, every one of which you should buy today. Help a sister out!
By embracing these classic styles, these women kept them alive for the future. They are the crucial hinge that today brings us The White Stripes, The Black Stripe, The Breeders, The Muffs, Cibo Matto, Tracy Bonham, The Cardigans, Komeda, The 5-6-7-8's, The Pebbles, The Prissteens, Dressy Bessy, The Sea Creatures, The Boonaraaas, The Love Me Nots, Curly Wurlee!, The Doll Squad, The Gore Gore Girls, The Ettes, The Priscillas, The Hot Rollers, Mz.
