Daphne Oram - Oramics

The BBC Click programme (the BBC's technology programme and online technology resource) reported on 6th January 2012 about a piece of Radiophonic history that has just gone on display at London's Science museum.

In the video below, LJ Rich explains the "Oramics Machine" - the invention of Daphne Oram, the first director of the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop and a central figure in the evolution of electronic music.

Imagine unearthing a piece of tech history that changed music forever.
