Coming up: Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

oneweekoneband:

Thank you, Ian!

Now for next week, we’ll cover a topic I’m really looking forward to (and know very little about…)

Karin Kross (who blogs at hangingfire.tumblr.com) will talk about English composer and electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire and her work (and those of her contemporaries) at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Derbyshire famously arranged the Doctor Who theme, but with her work and influence extending far beyond that, she and her fellow composers at the Radiophonic Workshop—a sound effect studio of the BBC created in 1958—have frequently been cited as “the unsung heroes of British electronica.”

See you tomorrow!

— Hendrik
