Tristam Cary, a pioneer of electronic music, died last Thursday in Canberra, Australia. He was 82.

Cary was a co-designer of one of the first portable synthesizers, the VCS3 (Putney), which was embraced by London's musical avant-guarde in the 1960s and 1970s. Cary also composed scores for "Doctor Who" and TV dramas Jane Eyre and Madame Bovary and for Disney and Hammer films.
