Delia Derbyshire















Delia Derybshire was the woman who created the most obscure, atmospheric sounds the BBC had ever heard and influenced a mass of dance producers.

Working in at the BBC in 1963, she experimented with sound using tape machines to create effects and and began scoring the music on Doctor Who. It has come about that a hoard of music unheard and untouched from her has been found and will hopefully be available to hear very soon. There is a write up on it on the BBC website with sounds and clips as well, check it here.
