OSCILLATORS AND SYNTHESIZERS, LADIES AND PIONEERS...

Daphne Oram - Episode Metallic

Daphne Oram (1925-2003). Creator of the Oramics method, a machine capable of reading 35 mm perforated tapes through photo-detectors, producing unheard sounds that were, at the time, particularly suited for sound design in television and radio programs. She was one of the founders of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a glorious creative section in the field of sounds and electronic music solely under the auspices of the BBC. Then, realizing the economic potential of this discipline, she applied herself, after resigning, to the production of effects for soundtracks and films (all her effects and some electronic scores for the James Bond series up to "Goldfinger"). She passed away disabled, rendered dependent on others for even the most basic daily activities by the ravages of two strokes.

TERESA RAMPAZZI - Quasi un Haiku (1987) - ABSTRACT

Teresa Rampazzi (1914-2001). A pioneer (in the purest and most idealistic sense of the term) of Electronic Music, she started as a pianist dedicating herself to Contemporary and Concrete music. Struck by the theories of John Cage, she moved to electroacoustic performances as dictated by him. She founded the NPS Group, which expressed Electronics with the equipment available at the time, solely analog. She dedicated herself to digital music later in life and to teaching until her retirement in a senior residence where, nonetheless, she furnished her room with oscillators, four-track Revox recorders, and small digital keyboards. The photo speaks for itself—I’d say an electronic grandmother, wouldn’t you?
