::HERSTORY - thought you knew electronic music?::

Say hello to my little friend.

Daphne Oram (1925-2003) was a woman of many skills. What she was known best for, however, is that she was a pioneer in the electronic music game and a sound engineer at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

She developed a workshop surrounding ideas pertaining to experimental production and soundtrack composition. Ever hear of Oramics? Well yes sweeties, that was allllll her.
This lovely human created a system of converting drawings on 35mm film into sound textures. Check out samples of her her music here.

From The Guardian:
Oram was one of the first British composers to produce electronic sound, a pioneer of what became "musique concrete" – music made with sounds recorded on tape, the ancestor of today's electronic music. Her story makes for fascinating reading. She was born in 1925 when Britain was between two world wars. She was extremely bright, and studied music and electronics – unusual at the time not only because electronics was an exciting new industry, but also because it was a man's world.

GET EM GIRLS.

I'm particularly interested in this yummy bunny because of the sudden uprise of the dubstep movement. Let's see how many female musical experimentalists I can get my hands on in the next month. Ready...set...go!

I smell collaboration...
