Well, it's been running since July 2011 but all good things come to an end, so you've got just under three weeks to get yourself down to the Science Museum in London if you want to see the Oramics to Electronica exhibition which explores the history of electronic music from the 1950s onwards. This is how the Science Museum describes it...

Electronic sound didn't just happen; it was created by women and men, most often at the margins of what was musically acceptable and technically possible. New instruments such as synthesisers and samplers changed the sounds musicians could make, and influenced the way they composed and performed their music.

This exhibition focuses on the work of three British studios that produced electronic music in the 1960s and 1970s: Daphne Oram, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Electronic Music Studios (EMS).

At the heart of the exhibition you can see the amazing Oramics Machine, a proto-synthesiser developed by Oram in the 1960s and 1970s.

Visit Oramics to Electronica to trace the history of electronic music and discover the boundless creativity of the musicians and engineers involved.
