Hear the extraordinary tape manipulations of Daphne Oram on Auditorium Ansermet’s multi-channel diffusion system in this celebration of her music for radio, film, ballet, installations and the concert stage. British composer Oram (1925-2003) was a visionary electronic artist and inventor of Oramics, a means of synthesising sound by drawing waveforms, pitches, volume envelopes and other properties on film. She co-founded the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, drawing up the blueprints for this renowned home of electronics and musical experimentalism in 1956. And in the years that followed she continued to compose highly distinctive tape music in her home studio in England – one of the first independent electronic studios in Europe.
