She was one of the founding members of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in
1957, and a true pioneer in electronic music. This amazing double disc
charts her post-BBC work in her own studio in Kent. Her Oramics
invention consisted of drawing onto a set of ten sprocketed
synchronised strips of 35mm film which covered a series of
photo-electric cells that in turn generated an electrical charge to
control the sound fequency, timbre, amplitude and duration. The
attraction of this technique was a direct relation of a graphic image
to the audio signal and even though the system was monophonic the
control over the nuances of sound production was very flexible. Daphne
Oram continued to use the process throughout the sixties producing work
for film and theatre including; 'Rockets in Ursa Major' (1962),
'Hamlet' (1963) and 'Purple Dust' (1964).

In 1987 Oswald made the EP Plunderphonics, which comprised four 'revised performances' created by the 'plundering' (ie, studio manipulation) of recordings by Count Basie, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, and of The Rite of Spring. A CD of Plunderphonics followed in 1989, with an additional 20 plundered performances by the Beatles, Glenn Gould, Michael Jackson, Liszt, Webern, Verdi, and Beethoven. Although Oswald's sources were scrupulously acknowledged and the recordings given free of charge to musicians, critics, libraries, etc, the CD nevertheless was deemed to be in violation of Canadian copyright laws. Under the threat of legal action Oswald relinquished the master tapes and all remaining copies were destroyed. Ironically, Oswald was subsequently commissioned by the US label Elektra to plunder its catalogue and prepared the CD Rub?iy?t Plunderphonics (Elektra PRCD-8247, issued in 1991) to mark the company's 40th anniversary! This 2CD edition we have here is from 2001. 60 tracks including all 25 tracks from the banned Plunderphonic CD. Plus a 44-page, handbound, hardcover book, featuring an interview with Oswald who discusses the process and the cultural and historical context of the tracks, plus many of his own full-colour photo-collage images.

At last reissued, this 3CD box that was originally published by Donemus in 1998. This second edition (with a 124 page guidebook) has a new look. The contents however are the same, except that English translations of the texts have been included, the original Dutch texts have been left out. Also the foreword and credits have been adapted. So here's your chance when you missed out on the 1st one.

Impressive homage to this pioneer of electronic music, where contemporary electronicists like Patrick Pulsinger, Pita, Curd Duca fill one CD with Brand-inspired works, and a selection from Brand's extraordinary oeuvre fills the other.

First album at last, since 1978. He is director of STEIM, inventor of the analogue & interactive 'Crackle Box' & several musical interfaces. Live recordings from 1977-2000 carefully edited by Sonig label boss Frank Dommert. Very playful, absurd, anarchic.
