"The Oramics Machine was developed by Daphne Oram from 1957 onwards.
'Not only is this one of the earliest forms of electronic sound synthesis, it is noteworthy for being audiovisual in nature - i.e. the composer draws onto a synchronised set of ten 35mm film strips which overlay a series of photo-electric cells, generating electrical charges to control amplitude, timbre, frequency, and duration.This system was a key part of early BBC Radiophonic Workshop practice'. I wrote a post on Daphne Oram's work at Dataisnature in 2008." Pictured:
