Here in a country studio in Kent is Daphne Oram, a pioneer of a new type of music. Unlike the traditional composer, she uses no musical instruments and no musicians. She produces sounds by electronic devices, some of them sounds unlike any ever heard before. She needs no concert hall or opera house to put on a performance, she can do it on a tape recorder. The sounds, produced electronically, are recorded on tape. By mixing the sounds on various tapes together and playing them at varying speeds, she can produce all sorts of different combinations. Already electronic music is being used in films, television and the theatre, and there have been concert performances too. There are some people that think the music of the future will sound like this.
The music computer.
The future will sound like this.
