A
gig
held at Arnolfini
on Saturday 25th October. The event starts at 19:30.
Honouring Daphne Oram's centenary in partnership with the Oram Awards. With Marta Salogni, Dali de Saint Paul, Lia Mazzari and Kathy Hinde.
The Oram Awards builds on Daphne Oram's pioneering legacy as a founding member of the original BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and her vital role establishing women at the forefront of electronic music innovation. Since 2017 the annual awards ceremony has celebrated an international array of artists bringing unique and inquisitive practices to electronic sound and music, all under the unified banner of "innovation in sound, music and technology." From live coding and expressive sound design to tape loop manipulation and electro-acoustic exploration, the artists recognised by the Orams embody the uncompromising, adventurous spirit of the awards' namesake.
To celebrate what would have been Daphne Oram's 100th birthday (on December 31 2025, to be exact), the Orams are undertaking a regional tour and extensive programme of projects across the UK. At Arnolfini, we present with them a new Oram/100 commission by Bristol-based artists Dali de Saint Paul, Lia Mazzari and Kathy Hinde which that draws on Oram’s writings as well as her wider musical and technological practices; and a solo set by Grammy-nominated and Mercury-Prize winning recording engineer, producer and mixer Marta Salogni.
In addition, there will be workshops with Saffron Music earlier in the day.
