Daphne Oram - An Individual Note of Music, Sound and Electronics

A book on music that's not just about music - this work genuinely made me think about how music interacts with the musician and the world at large, a most inspirational book that I will return to many times :)

Excellent, unique perspective from one of Britain's greatest (and currently woefully underrecognised) composers. Oram was a one off, whose abilities and innovations are only in recent years coming to light (not just as the co-founder of the BBC Radiophonic workshop, a pioneer of drawn sound synthesis but also as a scholar and a consummate composer across a number of styles and mediums). This republication is a beautiful edition, in hardback that really does justice to her ideas and writing - it includes a number of beautiful archival images that the original did not, and has beautiful design and typesetting throughout - highly recommend this, for anyone with an interest in music of any type, Daphne Oram was a one off and this book is a must have!

Oram was a visionary

Beautifully printed and bound. The content is equally amazing. I can recommend this without reservation.
