Daphne Oram's Still Point

from Relevant Tones · host Access Contemporary Music

In 1949 a 23-year old composer named Daphne Oram wrote a pioneering new work for two orchestras, live electronics and turntables that was subsequently lost for decades.  Only vague references survived until composer and archivist James Bulley rediscovered the complete score in 2015. He enlisted composer and turntable artist Shiva Feshareki to help him realize the electronics using the technology that would have been available to Oram. In 2018 the work was finally premiered at the BBC Proms. It was the first work of its kind and it is a masterpiece.
