If you are in London this summer, the Science Museum reveals a lost and unique gem of early electronic music when, on July 29th, it opens the first phase of Oramics to Electronica: Revealing Histories of Electronic Music, a small exhibition that explores how electronics has altered our sound world. Here's what they have to say about it...
The exhibition displays for the very first time the amazing Oramics Machine, and includes rarely seen archive footage and a brand new interactive app that allows you to create music the way Daphne Oram planned with her machine. This extraordinary Heath Robinson device was long thought lost but has, through cooperation with Goldsmiths College, recently been added to the Museum's collections. This phase of the exhibition will inspire co-creation projects with a number of audience groups and collaboration with organisations including contemporary arts organisation Sound and Music, alongside Anglia Ruskin University and Goldsmiths College. These projects will then become part of the second phase of the exhibition, which will be ready in October.
Pricing and Availability:
From July 29 onwards. Free entry
