Editing Daphne Oram (section)

== Legacy ==
Oram's work at the Radiophonic Workshop also helped pave the way for [[Delia Derbyshire]], who arrived at the BBC in 1960 and co-composed the original [[Doctor Who theme music|''Doctor Who'' theme music]] in 1963.<ref name=":1" />

Oram furthered music philosophy in her writings, and dedicated time to considering the human element in connection to acoustics. In her unfinished manuscript, ''The Sound of the Past, a Resonating Speculation'', she postulated that ancient civilizations might have done this to a highly evolved degree.<ref name=":0" /> In a letter to [[Sir George Trevelyan, 4th Baronet|Sir George Trevelyan]], Oram expressed hope that her work on Oramics would plant seeds that would mature in the 21st century.
