  2. does anyone else remember delia derbyshire's band, white noise?
    'your hidden dreams' is an especially sublime slice of electronic cake with symphonic icing.

  3. Recently I’ve found myself enjoying #Download’s album ‘III’ more than before (it is quite beat oriented). Few know that the sample at the end of the track ‘Moth’ (“Take me”) is from the brilliant 60s #WhiteNoise album, #AnElectricStorm, track ‘Your Hidden Dreams’ (the album is co-created by #DeliaDerbyshire of #DoctorWho fame).

    But can anyone identify the sample from the end of the track ‘Toooly Hooof’? Something like “You can’t get into it, major”?

  4. I'm reading a book titled Re-Sisters by Cosey Fanni Tutti about herself, Delia Derbyshire and Margery Kempe and became fairly enthralled yesterday by her descriptions of Delia (and Daphne Oram before her) working in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

    Cosey also describes her work on the soundtrack for a movie about Delia's life, and today I found that movie on archive.org in it's entirety. Part documentary, part fictional reenactment. Very worth a watch!

  5. It's not often that you see Delia Derbyshire personally credited by the BBC but this excellent short series of documentaries narrated by Eric Porter made to coincide with the British Museum's 1972 Tutankhamun exhibition is one of the exceptions.

    This has nothing to do with #DoctorWho :-)

  6. "… created in collaboration with #BarryBermange, Dreams is a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews with people describing their dreams. #DeliaDerbyshire's editing and repetition, together with her dissonant, often terrifying #musiqueconcrete soundbeds, make this distinctly uneasy bedtime listening."

  7. "I'd very much like to work as a sound recordist or well possibly a music bal..."

    "Ah yes, I'll have to stop you there Miss Derbyshire - Deca Records does not employ women in its recording studios or any of its technical departments, never has and probably never will!

    [...]

    However... we do have posts for women in our administration department and there may well be a secretarial position available at the end of the month..." 🙄

    tbc...

    Girton, ha ha ha ha.

    Good old Girton College! It's rather good isn't it? ... For girls!" 🙄

  9. "I see, Miss Derbyshire, you'd like to combine your interest in Mathematics with your interest in music."

    "yes"

    "As a *career choice*?"

    "Well, music is just an expression of mathematics - it's an idea that was established way back in the 6th Century by Pythagoras"

    "Yes dear, but this is a career's office not ancient Greece, you see.

    Have you considered a career in deaf aids, Miss Derbyshire?"

    "No, Mr. Thompson, have you?" 😂

    Here's an interesting looking docudrama about Delia Derbyshire's life and music, which I intend to watch tonight:
