An oil-on-canvas portrait of electronic pioneer Daphne Oram, by Glasgow-trained artist Victoria Morton - a vibrant fusion of abstraction, figuration, which attempts to embody the ethos of electronic music
What a dream to be delivering a Visually Impaired description tomorrow of Victoria Morton’s portrait of my heroine, pioneering composer and electronic music innovator Daphne Oram, for the @nationalgalleries.bsky.social VI Group

(And excellent timing, I've been watching the 'Sisters with Transistors' #Documentary - sisterswithtransistors.com - recently that features examples of #Oramics and the resources linked from the podcast > talktothechip.podbean.com/e/daphne-ora... - look great. 🙂)
Just wanted to recommend the latest #TalkToTheChip episode on #DaphneOram, an early purveyor of musique concrète in the UK and creator of the #Oramics technique. It's all about keeping up with #MusicHistory, folks!

Really glad you found it interesting. 🙂 The #Oramics technique for creating sound through graphical means is fascinating.
Sometime feels that modern music creation tools are only just catching up with what #DaphneOram was working on >60 years ago. 😶
