Daphne Oram And Delia Derbyshire: The BBC Radiophonic Workshop Gallery
As part of the Pioneers short season I am reposting some of the older articles as they are well worth another airing
The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, one of the sound effects units of the BBC, was created in 1958 to produce effects and new music for radio, and was closed in March 1998. Daphne Oram was a true pioneer of electronic music and this great gallery of photographs gives some great insight into the work being done at BBC.

FIELD RECORDING AND MUSIC SEASON ON FEMINATRONIC
So it is the start of a new year for Feminatronic and I was thinking what should I cover next as a subject and whilst mooching around looking for interesting items to highlight I thought, OK let’s look at the craft of Field Recordings and subsequent music created from Field Recordings. I am no expert in this area but I will try to cover as much of the work of female artists in this field ( no pun intended). Yes……a Season on Field Recordings, starting with….. Alastair R. Nobles’ article about the development of the concept of sound as music,which is my starting point for this season.
