This series of photos capture Daphne Oram’s pioneering Oramics Machine and related gear.
The Oramics Machine was a pioneering electronic music instrument, developed by Oram from 1957 onwards. It’s on display as part of an exhibit at London’s Science Museum, Oramics To Electronica.
Steve Marshall has an interesting history of the Oramics Machine at SOS.
