Radio LBB: Women in Electronic Music

“We women were especially drawn to electronic music when the possibility of a woman composing was in itself controversial. Electronics let us make music that could be heard by others without having to be taken seriously by the male-dominated establishment.” Laurie Spiegel

As part of Women’s History Month, we are shining a light on some of the amazing women who revolutionised and defined the past, present and future of electronic music. We have compiled tracks from some of the pioneers of electronic music - from Theremin virtuoso Clara Rockmore to Delia Derbyshire whose arrangement of the Dr Who Theme in 1963 became one of the first entirely electronic music pieces used on television.
