A truly incredible woman. Her work gives me the Detroit tingles and she was there 30 years before the scene. Jeff Mills and Robert Hood were about 2 when this wonderful sound was formed! Its criminal that she never received the praise and financial reward she deserved. A genuine genius.
An haunting piece, so simple at first step, but in fact on a highly refined poetry of sound. The essence of night walking expressed in a sort of musical painting I appreciate mostly.
What a unreal great tune and such grace and emotion within the notes, just a master piece of talent! I love this kind of deep tuned-in sound, a real mind opener.
Delia Derbyshire .. The Very name Echos around my head on a daily basis. She has affected my Life to such an extent, that I would be a very different person if I never found her. My biggest regret is never meeting her to thank her. I regret that so much that it hurts. I wish she was alive today. The world has a massive gap in it, with her on the Planet. True Love is devoted love; the Love I have for her sound.
I'm so glad that this was done by a woman. I've had it in my iTunes for months, and thought that it was some musical group or collective, and not one single gal on the dials. Brilliant! She must have been very cerebral, very cool to have creative nerdy women like this. I will turn m daughter on to it if I ever am blessed to have one.
@therealKINDLE Wow, I love your heartfelt comment. I have been extremely affected by her sound as well. It's so other worldly and powerful, that I don't listen to it much, but when I do, it's just sublime.
More electronic musicians should get back to real experimentation, things like EDM are killing the spirit of popular music. EDM isn't even electronic music to me, but a mainstream hype, at least IDM is interesting, but I'm not a huge fan of neither. Real Electronic music has a spirit, like this, I think many people became lazy and stopped trying new things, that's why I love Synth Pop, always something new, but even it became the norm during the 80s..
Yes, Delia Derbyshire realized Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme song composition into an electronic piece. She was a true electronic music pioneer. Way ahead of her time.
+CousinJustine That's because Delia Derbyshire started out working at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop! The BBC had geniuses like Delia working away to produce those exotic soundtracks for the early DOCTOR WHO TV series, as well as other series. This was long before modern synthesizers existed, and people like Delia had to create all these electronic sounds by splicing tape and using laboratory oscillators that were never meant for audio work.
We don't care this sounds completely shitty, cause due to these experiments we had many and many good electronic music artists. That's why I fucking love Delia
@CabboPearimo8 'By showing your lack of appreciation of this piece you are showing a lack of taste so profound that it must spill into your life, turning you into a constantly over-active, sleepless hate-filled husk' Oh come on now. I love this music, but saying that because someone does not appreciate a certain style of music they are a 'hate-filled husk' is kind of stretching it. Excuse me if I missed something of the context.
@roncstelep you say you're into creation, this is being into creation!get tape machines and tapes, splice it, and see if you get any better results! and btw if you're into "electronic" music then why would you care about anything being musical!thats exactly what electronic music changed back in the days, the raw material of sound became the music, the composer was directly tweaking, enhancing, cutting on this material whether it was tonal/atonal, noise/music, who gives a fuck??

She's what you call "a genius"without exaggeration.

Haunting and beautiful..
A true pioneer!
the best artists of the musical language always as it is now..
Now I understand what Mr.Bungle were emulating on some of the songs on Disco Volante. Especially The Bends.
lago4 "No! But I can hear some of Delia in Boards of Canada, and in Jarre, Vangelis, Orbit, Kraftwerk and many more.
Squarepusher?
Way ahead of her time!
This should be in a horror movie. It would be so weird and unnerving
And with this, I hate everyone that never introduced me to this.

Me too. I loved the piece but when I learnt the composer had a twat I was overjoyed. More pussy music please! You absolute bellend!!
Thank you Delia,,,Inspiration / Revelation
Thank you
Very interesting this woman.
simply amazing human being.
Great piece.
absolutely amazing
@emanueljoab You kidding me? She is the beatmaster. Find that clip of her manually syncing 4 tape-recorders - Be amazed.
@therealKINDLE Wow, I love your heartfelt comment. I have been extremely affected by her sound as well. It's so other worldly and powerful, that I don't listen to it much, but when I do, it's just sublime.
I LOVE HER
The Residents were a big fan of this lady too. Thank Goodness for both of them.
was just reading "How To Wreck a Nice Beach", about early voice reproduction.(vocoder) Very Interesting artist.
far out.. she was on a voyage...
Thank you Delia

and minimal synth
Marie Curie
I heard the BLOOD CAVERN has lots of BLOOD.
Sounds like an early pre-Bjork Bjork song
ANGUSRAZE this also reminds a lot of grimes!!
Love Franco I know, right? Delia and those at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop were so innovative.
This sounds vaguely familiar ..was this (or a piece similar to it) used in an episode of "Doctor Who"?
Yes, Delia Derbyshire realized Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme song composition into an electronic piece. She was a true electronic music pioneer. Way ahead of her time.
No, I meant THIS particular piece .. it sounds like something that was actually used as background music in an episode.
DNulrammah It certainly reminds me of some of the incidental music in "The Ambassadors of Death".

+CousinJustine Yes, EXACTLY! That was the episde that I was thinking of - The scenes with the "Astronauts". Thank You!
Nightgenga
Sinistro!
We don't care this sounds completely shitty, cause due to these experiments we had many and many good electronic music artists. That's why I fucking love Delia
yes 😎
yeh sadly EDM came along and moved all the experimenters out!
If she put some beat in her songs, she could be my heroin.
she did. Check out this techno track from her: th-cam.com/video/vwQIgGQLOQ8/w-d-xo.html

ill sample
So if this had been composed by a man you may have given it a chance?
Can anyone hear a little of Boards of Canada in this?
Lol, yes I think it’s safe to say they were influenced
Now i want to die..
@roncstelep you say you're into creation, this is being into creation!get tape machines and tapes, splice it, and see if you get any better results!
and btw if you're into "electronic" music then why would you care about anything being musical!thats exactly what electronic music changed back in the days, the raw material of sound became the music, the composer was directly tweaking, enhancing, cutting on this material whether it was tonal/atonal, noise/music, who gives a fuck??
@roncstelep Lame Troll.
lol sexism is hilarious
HAHAHAHAHHAHA... you are a joke or are you a joke or what. nice try.
At least learn how to spell genius, genius.
This sounds like something that would be or should be in an old school zombie thriller.
@SpaceMountains LOL!
