Radio Broadcasts Highlight Women's Contributions to Electronic Music History
Two radio programs from 2010 and 2013, hosted by Barbara Golden and Jon Leidecker on KPFA's 'Crack o' Dawn,' focus on women in electronic music from 1938 to 2014. The broadcasts feature works by pioneers like Delia Derbyshire, Clara Rockmore, and Wendy Carlos, alongside twenty-one other composers. These programs aim to address the historical oversight of women's roles in electronic music development, with additional resources like Antye Greie-Ripatti's playlist further documenting these contributions.
