Delia Derbyshire

While doing some sound research I was reading about the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop and looking at some pictures of their old equipment and watching videos of very nerdy Englishmen banging on old tea pots. This led me to

Delia Derbyshire who worked at the Radiophonic Workshop during the 60's and 70's. She has some amazing videos spread through the internet of her just making sounds, primarily for electronic music.

One my favorite themes is the Doctor Who theme song. A guy named Ron Grainer is listed as the composer but Delia was the one who took his song and put together the electronic arrangement that I love so much. Some more samples of Delia's music is on her site. I recommend Moogies Bloogies. It is pretty weird.

The BBC has digitized some of her old tapes found in an attic after she had died in 2001. They are pretty interesting for their time but not up to Doctor Who theme standards. I think that is what I was really hoping for. If she only had a podcast; I could subscribe.
