The history of electronic music does not differ much from that of other subjects. Despite seeming to be a type of music far removed from the classical composers, history has done what it usually does with everything; it has covered the female work with a mantle of silence. What happened to make so many women interested in electronics? What happened was that they found a space that was not controlled by the music establishment, which refused to consider music to that produced through energy.<\/p>\n

“We women were especially attracted to electronic music when the possibility of a woman composing was itself controversial,”<\/strong> <\/em>Laurie Spiegel explains in the documentary. Spiegel is an American composer who combined the creation of electronic music with programming. One of her most important works was born from the idea of creating her own instrument, using technology to invent a means of expression. And she succeeded, in 1985 she bought a Mac 512K and created her own program to compose electronic music. The program, christened Music Mouse, quickly became one of the most popular among consumers.<\/p>\n
