Oram on film

Archive interviews, concert pieces and more

Listen to Oram’s music and take a closer look at her invention The Oramics Machine. There are also videos of the Mini-Oramics machine in action. This was built by Tom Richards in 2016 from Oram’s original notes and drawings. Over on the ‘Oramics to Electronica’ pages, you can also see three new films comissioned on the theme of Oramics by the Science Museum, London.

‘Bird Of Parallax’ was created in 1972 using sounds from the Oramics machine as well as concrète tape montage. The piece was written for Xallaparallax, a ballet performed at the Edinburgh Festival.
