Saw this new Kickstarter project earlier and thought I'd share the link here for anyone who might be interested.

This project is to reprint Daphne Oram's classic book An Individual Note, which has been out of print for many years.
Daphne Oram was a pioneer of electronic music, and way ahead of her time. In the 1960s she built an optical synthesiser, which could create sound by scanning waveforms painted on strips of 35mm film.

More info on the project is available here:

They have until 14th July to raise the £10,000 needed to fund the project.

Here's a YouTube video on Daphne's Oramics machine...

It's incredible how she created sound by drawing. Very interesting and fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing, davidjay.

Quick update on this - they've hit the target and exceeded it, with plenty of time to spare.

So the book is definitely happening, and it will probably be in hardback as well (that's one of their stretch goals for the project). I think they're going to post some more updates soon...

Latest update on this... the project has eight days to go, and the team are hopeful that they'll hit the £15,000 required to reprint a hardback edition of An Individual Note.

When I checked a few minutes ago just over £14,000 had been pledged, which is a great result. More info is available here:

Received my copy of An Individual Note today. Looks great, and I'm looking forward to get started on this one.

A great example of what can be achieved via crowdfunding. Perhaps the coffee-table book idea floated by Supersonic director Mat Whitecross could be realized in a similar way.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
