"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...

"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?" 😂

It's Delia Derbyshire Day! Her Dr. Who theme song aired Nov. 23, 1963!
"Falling" from Derbyshire's and Barry Bermange's "Inventions for Radio-The Dreams"
In 1964 electronic music pioneer Derbyshire and writer Bermange made this eerie collage of people telling of their nightmares of falling. Their stories are punctuated by Delia's dark ambient electronic sounds and her manipulation of the recorded tapes of the people speaking. #deliaderbyshire #deliaderbyshireday #drwhoday https://archive.org/details/delia_derbyshire-falling
