> Oramics
> A symposium, concert and gig celebrating the life and work of Daphne Oram.
> 
> Friday 27th June 2008
> Purcell Rooms, Southbank Centre, London
> 
> Daphne Oram was one of the unsung musical heroines of our time. A pioneering
> British composer and electronic musician she was the driving force behind the
> creation of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 1950s and she was the first
> woman to run an independent music studio. Her vision and commitment changed
> the sound of the world we live in.
> 
> This series of events celebrates the launch of the Daphne Oram Collection at
> Goldsmiths College, London University. For the past 12 months an Arts and
> Humanities Research Council grant has supported the digitisation of almost 700
> reel to reel tapes of music.
> 
> This symposium considers her place in the history of electronic music, as well
> as exploring in academic depth, ideas and tools for graphic sound synthesis
> through the drawn sound system she invented and called Oramics. 
> 
> The concert features unheard music by Daphne Oram as well as performances from
> special guest artists including Andrea Parker.
