Although not as well known or as revered as Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram was an unlikely looking pioneer of electronic sound and music. In 1958 she co-founded the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and was its first studio manager but left shortly after to open her Oramics Studios for Electronic Composition.


Delia Derbyshire - Blue Veils and Golden Sands

Recorded in the mid '60s, this Delia Derbyshire composition was mostly created using electronic oscillators - severely high-pass filtered - to give the "shimmering heat haze" backdrop. Delia has since referred to the piece as including her "castrated oboe", but the only non-electronic source really recorded is her voice, cut up and re-pieced.
