Yeah, but you said:
> Daphne Oram pioneered technology for turning the informational sections of a spectrogram into sound back in 1958
You seem to want to make it sound like some discovery rather than just IFFT or just "add the sine waves back together". For sure what's trivial to do on a modern computer would have been more of a challenge using 1958 tech, but that's because of the tech, not because of the problem requiring some breakthrough "technology".
You also said "A spectrogram is basically a description of the sound", which while true also seems to be trying to make something very basic sound more mysterious than it is. It is just a frequency vs time plot of audio power. Add the frequencies back together and you've got your source audio back.
