description:
Mega-rare ep of early electronic experiments by this co-founder of the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop in collaboration with Vera Gray, with rhythmic sequences of pure tones and noise blasts intended as a tool for dance educators. "These are for children to enjoy and may lead them into movement of a dancelike character or involve them in imaginative situations... By using audio generators, many tape recorders, filters, ring modulators and other electronic devices she built up the tone colours, pitched each of the notes separately, gave them duration and dynamics and finally spliced the notes together to obtain the required rhythms and sequences..." As part of the Listen Move And Dance series it shares an eerily similar title to Bruce Haack's Dance Sing And Listen electronic children's records released at just about exactly the same time in the US, though Oram's work is entirely instrumental and much more abstract than Haack's.

artist info from album notes etc.:
Oram helped found the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which created sound effects and early electronic music for radio and tv, and developed Oramics, one of the earliest graphical interfaces for sound synthesis. She is credited with composing the first live electronic work in 1950, and worked with Desmond Briscoe, Delia Derbyshire, Georges Auric, and Thea Musgrave. Her work would influence Brian Eno, Hugh Davies, and Aphex Twin, and remains a much overlooked British parallel to pre-synthesizer early electronic/musique concrete pioneers like Vladimir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Bernard Parmegiani, Tod Dockstader, Herbert Eimert, Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Ilhan Mimaroglu, Henk Badings, Dick Raaijmakers, Rune Lindblad, Hugh Le Caine, etc.; she was among the first women to experiment with electronics, along with Pauline Oliveros, Bebe Baron, Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux, Ruth White, and Pril Smiley.

US Shipping Media Mail with tracking is $5.00 for up to 3 12" records, then $0.65 for each additional; Priority Mail is also available but pricing depends on zipcode (you can check eBay's calculated shipping price on this page); other expedited shipping options and insurance are all available on request. Combine multiple items to save on shipping.

International Shipping 1 or 2 records to Europe/UK/Scandinavia/Asia/Australia is $24.00 for USPS First Class Airmail with tracking, and roughly $12 for every 2 additional lps depending on weight (7" records will cost less; heavy box sets will cost more). 1 or 2 records to Canada is $16.50 for First Class Airmail with tracking. 1 or 2 records to Mexico is $21.50 for First Class Airmail with tracking.

International shipments requiring insurance can use the faster but more expensive USPS Priority Mail International service or other expedited insured methods. Combine multiple items to save on shipping; I can hold paid records to be combined with a future purchase if desired. Feel free to email with any shipping questions.

Packing I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers which I have determined are the best and most protective, reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know.

Payment I accept Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment). Please email with any payment questions. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an eBay invoice to winners shortly after my auctions close, and an email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment.

Other Info Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use eBay's 'ask a question' function. Records are visually graded unless otherwise noted; my condition rating scale is M (sealed) / NM (unplayed) / EX (barely used) / VG (some evident wear from prior use but no major flaws) / G (major flaws) / F (very major flaws).
