New Kickstarter for electronic music pioneer Daphne Oram

Saw this new Kickstarter project earlier and thought I'd share the link here for anyone who might be interested.

This project is to reprint Daphne Oram's classic book "An Individual Note", which has been out of print for many years.

Daphne Oram was a pioneer of electronic music, and way ahead of her time. In the 1960s she built an optical synthesiser, which could create sound by scanning waveforms painted on strips of 35mm film.

More info on the project is available here:

They have until 14th July to raise the £10,000 needed to fund the project.

Here's a YouTube video on Daphne's amazing Oramics machine...
