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.

On Twitter @Feminatronic has Sunday afternoon listening suggestion tweets roughly based around a theme and I thought that maybe I can occasionally recreate some of these here. This week the subject is ‘I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky …’ and fits in with the Field Recordings season.

SHORT DIGEST – SPOTLIGHT ON THE THEREMIN
Part of the Feminatronic Season on the Theremin
SPOTLIGHT ON THE THEREMIN
Excellent article from the BBC News site
Leon Theremin – The Man and the Music Machine
Electronic music pioneer Robert Moog built theremins long before he built synthesizers. In the 1960’s, he produced such models as the wedge-shaped Vanguard theremin and the shoebox shaped Moog Melodia theremin. Today, Moog Music Inc. produces the popular Etherwave and Etherwave Plus theremins and kits as well as the new MIDI-enabled Theremini theremin. Other popular models today include PAiA’s Theremax and Burns’ line of B3 theremins.
