The whole of BBC/radiophonic workshop are not there, maybe it's a bit US centered..

She wrote a "treatise" on electronic music called An Individual Note of Music, Sound and Electronics. From the back cover:

"[...] a fascinating glimpse into the creative mind behind the Oramics machine. In this engaging account of the possibilities of electronic sound, Oram touches on acoustics, mathematics, cybernetics and esoteric thought, but always returns to the human, urging us to 'see whether we can break open watertight compartments and glance anew' at the world around us."

If it makes you feel better, when I taught the history of electronic music I introduced students to Daphne Oram.

Thanks, did not know about her, will check out her book !

Birds of Parallax from 9:45 onwards is my favorite. They had this on repeat in an electronic music history exhibition I attended in a London museum some ... counting... 12 years ago.

Daphne Oram didn’t use computers. Check the title of the book.

Neither did Stockhausen, Schaffer, Les Paul or the Tape Music Lab.
