Futuristic music in the best sense: that was the trademark of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. For 40 years, artists like Daphne Oram and Delia Derbishire set standards for work with electronic sounds, noises and instruments.
Now the Radiophonic Institute has taken on the legacy of the workshop. Since 2012, it has been creating, connecting and promoting innovations in sound and music. Led by composer, artist and curator Matthew Herbert, the Institute aims to inspire a new generation of creatives to collaborate and challenge the conventions of music and sound design.
