Daphne Oram
1925-2003
A pioneering electronic composer, inventor of the Oramics Machine and co‑founder of the highly influential BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
We’re here to safeguard Oram’s archive – a lifetime of recordings, papers and more – and support electronic music makers in the UK.
We also collaborate on live events and other projects exploring Oram’s life and work.
Oram’s influence
Past, present and future
“Once the composer can write without the limitations of performance his palette is extended enormously… Rhythms become anything the composer can visualise without them having to be playable. Timbres have no registration and theoretically any sound, musical or otherwise, is within his grasp.”
Daphne Oram
Oram’s visionary proposal for a dedicated, experimental electronic workshop in her report to BBC managers, 1956.
