English | 100 pages | PDF | 64.5 MB
We’re going in search of Daphne Oram in the new Electronic Sound. We’re taking a road trip from the hallowed turf of the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios to the leafy environs of rural Kent, where Oram lived and worked in a converted oast house for over four decades, then heading back to London to see her Mini-Oramics machine in action. Along the way, we delve into her archives to tell the story of the founder of the Radiophonic Workshop and try to fill in the gaps in what we know about the first lady of British electronic music.
