oddly
It was my daughter who brought it to my attention. She read it in
Variety Online. i guess all the haranguing of my family that i've done
at the dinner table all these years about the pantheon of electronic
music sunk in at least a little!

article on the BBC Radiophonic workshop and noting how many women were
included in their number, including people who where developing their
own systems like Daphne Oram. You'd expect a lot more now, but it
seems it isn't the case, both as builders and performers.

an interesting observation, i think that when the field was in it's
infancy, electronic-composition and performance offered a path that ,
at least for a while, bypassed the academic old-boy network. That
didn't last of course...check out Susan Ciani's account of her
interactions with Don Buchla in the book, Analog Days.
In the case of Bebe & Louis, Louis may have had the cajones to tap
those grids bare-handed but it was Bebe who edited and processed hours
and hours of tape into those brilliant minutes of composed output.
