World loses one more electronic music pioneer
“Tristram Ogilvie Cary (born Oxford 14 May 1925, died Adelaide, Australia 24 April 2008) was a pioneering British composer. Cary was educated at Westminster School in London, England and is the son of a pianist and the novelist, Joyce Cary, author of Mister Johnson. While working as a radar engineer for the Royal Navy during World War II, he independently developed his own conception of electronic and tape music, and is regarded as amongst the earliest pioneers of these musical forms.”
