ah ok interesting. i wonder if the earlier ones i sent just didn't get any replies, heh ;) i thought people might be interested in this kickstarter project to republish an early book on electronic music by Daphne Oram. i was active on the list 20 years ago i guess it was now, but have been gone for a while. good to be back! looking forward to another looping festival in Santa Cruz in October! -jeff Daphne Oram (1925-2003) was ahead of her time. She was a remarkable and inspirational woman who should be recognised and remembered as one of Britain’s leading cultural and historically significant figures. She was the first Director of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which she co-founded in 1958, after years of persuasion and perseverance. She predicted that computers and electronics would revolutionise music decades before they became popular, and invented a new form of sound synthesis – Oramics – which was a significant step towards this revolution.
