“Sculptress of Sound: The Lost Works of Delia Derbyshire”
Delia Derbyshire was one of the most important figures in British electronic music. As a member of the BBC’s legendary Radiophonic Workshop, she was responsible for the unearhtly electronic realisation of the original theme for Doctor Who, made in 1963. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. In this edition of Archive on 4, Matthew Sweet explores her work and airs some rare and previously unheard items from Derbyshire’s vast personal archive. It’s a portrait of a singular and relatively unsung talent, whose work still sounds ahead of its time over half a century later. (42 min.) | via Archive on 4
