Daphne Oram at 100: Nine Artists on the Pioneer’s Enduring Influence
As celebrations of Daphne Oram's centenary culminate with an all-day celebration in Bradford, Claire Biddles speaks to a host of artists, from her contemporaries to previous Oram Award winners, to get a measure of her immense contribution to electronic music Photo © Daphne Oram Trust The pioneering work of Daphne Oram was not fully recognised until after her death in 2003 – but now, over 20 years later, she is rightly recognised as one of the most important electronic musicians of the 20th century.
