This vintage short film takes a look inside early 60’s home studio of British electronic music pioneer Daphne Oram and offers a glimpse of the Sound of the Future.
Video Summary:
“This converted oast-house in Kent is really a kind of studio where Miss Daphne Oram is engaged in scientific research into electronic music.
Thanks to a Gulbenkian Foundation grant, she’s surrounded by very expensive equipment. With it, she can compose the sound and music of the future.”

cool song
Great find! Looking at her career she really was a pioneer on many levels.
anyone know how to find the song in the video?
It’s from “Bird of Parallax”, my favourite track on the brilliant compilation “Oramics”. I bought this album a few months ago and can’t recommend it enough. Respect to Synthtopia for posting this video.
thank you
It’s from “Bird of Parallax”, my favourite song on the brilliant “Oramics” compilation.
