Daphne Oram (December 31, 1925 – January 23, 2003) was a pioneering sound engineer and composer who began her career at the BBC in 1943. She co-founded and served as the director of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. In 1959, Oram left the BBC to focus on her own music at an oast house in Kent that she had purchased. She developed a unique musical machine called Oramics, which converted pictures into sound, and continued to work on it during the home computer revolution in 1981. After suffering a stroke in 1994, she was unable to continue her work and eventually retired to a nursing home, where she passed away on January 23, 2003, at the age of 77.
