Ars Electronica(1/7) A few weeks ago we have talked about female pioneers of electronic music and how they shaped the sounds of our time. As this list was far from complete, we want to show you 5 more outstanding female electronic musicians that were ahead of their time …
(2/7) Clara Rockmore, a classically trained musician, gave up the violin due to physical strain. This led her to discover the theremin, a gesture-controlled instrument named after its inventor, Léon Theremin. Not only did she become the instrument's most well-known performer, she also influenced its development. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anOR20XNhpk #music

(3/7) Wendy Carlos, an American composer and performer is considered as one of the most important pioneers of electronic music. With her debut album Switched-On Bach she brought the sound of the Moog synthesizer to a generation of listeners, helping to effect arguably one of the most substantial changes in popular music's sound. She also wrote the soundtracks for the Stanley Kubrick films Clockwork Orange and Shining, among others! https://youtu.be/Z3cab5IcCy8 #music

(4/7) The experimental groundbreaking work of American composer Laurie Spiegel with computers in the 70s and 80s helped lay the foundation for many of today's electronic noise makers. https://youtu.be/zLd1RUDmX6w #music

Don't forget Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic workshop who realised Ron Grainer's score for the Dr. Who theme.
This before synthesisers had come into common use.

Attached: 1 image (4/5) Delia Derbyshire created the theme music for the science fiction series "Doctor Who," making electronic music respectable among the general public with the help of a television series. She usually used recorded sounds as the basis for her works, these were then altered with the help of oscillators, filters or other tape manipulation techniques. And all this was quasi basic research, because at that time electronic sounds were still a mystery. https://youtu.be/nXnmSgaeGAI #music #technology
Sorry, I missed it.
Anyway she's always worth another mention.
@essjaykeys no worries, you're right!
