@MrGodthatdied well i used reason and logic for years and i had a little go of fl studio.
but when i got my mpc, my beats really excelled, it was so much more comfortable to make music on and the swing and time shifting is unmatched, i still use reason for FX and synth tho, mpc and pc actually work well hand in hand, i even got an akai mpk mini to see if software was better, i own an mpc2000xl and 1000 and i personaly think mpc is better but you can use mpc and pc together by midi
She received no credit or recognition for her work. It wasn,t cricket to let women get any credit at the BBC then. Her personal life and death where a tragedy.
The term Genius is often overused as a lazy approximation with which to label the seemingly very talented. In Delia’s case it does not begin to describe the impact her original mind and prescient unmatched musicality pre-empted technological innovations and sonic cultural phenomenon.
Quite a latency on those switches, they are probably all different too, she knows that gear well. Each note was sampled onto tape and then physically cut to form a loop and then played like this into a master, my God, would anybody have the patience to make music that way now?
Anyone ever seen a vinyl or other type of wire reel to reel system? I saw something at an antiques place once.... still wondering what it was all a'boot.
While I agree that it's tragic how little recognition Delia got during her lifetime, it should be pointed out that *NONE* of the Radiophonic Workshop received personal credits for their work in the 1960s: They were just credited on screen as "BBC Radiophonic Workshop". Also full time BBC employees were expected to be happy with their salaries: they never got any royalties, and were rarely even given bonuses for good work (e.g. Ray Cusick, designer of the Daleks, got an extra £100!)
Her work is actually typical of a lot of the experimental stuf of her era, a lot of which influenced IDM. She also seemed to do it for the challenge of it, inventing new techniques and such, since she berated synthesizers for being too easy. Of course she could just've entered her 'get offa my lawn phase'. It's a shame she drank herself into oblivion after that.
@konjunktion26 hahaha ... don't know whether your sexism or your musical ignorance is funnier ... you're probably a troll anyway ... she did it at the beginning of the 60s, and she makes most electronic musicians of this millenium look pretty damned conservative ... this is with two track tape and nothing we would even recognize as a synthesizer or sampler ... and her boss in the bbc radiophonic workshop was a chick too.
this composer woman never existed she is a fake! because woman went in the 60s to discos and dressed up sexy with high heels and no woman was on the weekend in a room all by herself with something like a synthesizer the only electronic tool woman know is a vibrator!
@konjunktion26 Delia wasn't your Average Female. She wasn't interested in Petty Relationships, & Love Stories etc. She Couldn't stand all that shit. She was fanatical about Music, & thats the appeal. The Perfect Woman.. A Genius, Musician, Hard to get, RARE as they come & Invented the Dr Who theme from Scratch. But she was Still Treated like a woman. With No Respect, Royalties, Recognition or gratitude. But she Carried on in the Name of " The Art of Sound & Music".
I respect woman, but all the woman I see downtown run around like sluts. And than I see here this woman that created IDM Glitches in the 60s. There are a lot people who can time travel (Illuminati blood-lines). Maybe this woman was a member of a secret organisation.
@konjunktion26 I know exactly what you mean. It's a bit like that here, all the women I know are the same. They all Talk the Same. All Like the Same wank. All Drink Wine, Watch Soaps, Listen to POP shit & think they are the Bollocks. No Talent. No Creativety. No Personality. No Wants or Needs outside 'Men, Relationships, Arguments, Fashion, Money, Kids & Wine'. So I understand ur frustration.
But Delia was an exception. she was "The REAL DEAL". Her Work even now sounds better than all else. lol

is this video a fake? i mean who made at the end of the 60s music like ovuca, autechre, oval and aphex twin? this video can´t be real. why a woman should get a idea to do something like this and than in the late 60s? woman of today like to buy high heels, make up, dress up sexy and listen to pop and britney spears or lady gaga, but woman do not have interest for things like we see it in this video.. probably a fake.
Oh my goddess, Delia.....your delicate fingers gently yet masterfully (mistressfully?) glide across the prepared zither of my soul. A random scrap of tape from your cutting room floor is worlds perfecter than the hairdo of the most popular laptop sooperDJ.
This chick rocks!...you should hear some of the raunchy stuff she released after this when she went mental on magic mushrooms ......Her album 'splonko debonko' is an underground classic.
Delia Derbyshire was a fucking GENIUS ! I know thats an over used word but think about it, When she was busy hacking away finding totally new forms of music people like Hendrix and Lennon were being hailed as genius for playing guitars.
Not very rich at all. She didn't actually really get the credit she deserved. The woman in the video is named Delia Derbyshire. She put together Ron Gainer's theme for Dr. Who on tape back before syths and was done with electronic oscillators, tape effects and loops just like in this video. Ron Gainer actually wanted to give her half the publishing rights to the song, but the BBC wouldn't allow things like that back then.
65,000 views and I have to answer my own question I asked two weeks ago below!
Delia Derbyshire's web site states "A recent Guardian article called her 'the unsung heroine of British electronic music', probably because of the way her infectious enthusiasm subtly cross-pollinated the minds of many creative people. She had exploratory encounters with Paul McCartney, Karlheinz Stockhausen, George Martin, Pink Floyd, Brian Jones, Anthony Newley, Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson."
Does anyone know if Roger Waters of Pink Floyd knew her or any connection?
She did this stuff first clearly. I saw a video of him doing the exact same thing with tape loops and so on. He was messing in 69 with these electronic things to make the 73 album Dark Side of the Moon. The clip I saw of him in 69 sounds exactly like the Doctor Who theme in 63 which she composed.
You really couldn't even get the original Dr. Who sound today with all of our modern equipment. Just listen to the new theme music (I'm not knocking it, I actually like it) and you will see it sound nothing like the original. That's because the original was done with 8 reel to reels going in to one master reel. Also, the sound effect are electronic oscillators, tape loops and tape effect, not syths. This was done long too long before syths, but you will never get that sound again.
Yep, I think that is what most people think. I meant to write "not too long before syths" which came out only about a little less than a decade later. But, in order to get those sounds you had to use sound oscillators.
I don't think they knew each other personally, but on One Of These Days they pay tribute to Dr. Who in the middle. I think alot of musician were messing around with things like tape loops and oscillator before syths came out. Dalia Derbyshire would have been one of others working for the BBC and probably would have had just the status of working there and would have just had a low profile with that status even at the BBC. Plus, the BBC at the time was still a male dominant work place.
I did some research and she did teach Roger Waters and the rest of pink floyd her skills. Her web site said something like they wanted to learn everything she knew and they did.
That's pretty interesting. I may have to check out that website. Pink Floyd's work is tape effect oriented. I have The Body by Roger Waters and Umagumma by Pink Floyd which makes good use of the tape effects of the day. Also, the drums of A Saucerful of Secrets are a tape loop.
She is up there with Luigi Russolo, Raymond Scott, Bruce Haak, Stockhausen & the Barrons. Delia is one of my favorites. Her music has a delicate weird touch I find wonderful beautiful.
Before you credit her with starting electronic music you should study electronic music history. Americans nor Europeans invented electronic music alone. There were similar movements taking place all over the world.
Look up Louis & Bebe Barron, Raymond Scott, Moog, Luigi Russolo, Bruce Haak, & Stockhausen.
Is it just me or are her hands slightly mesmerizing in this video? They seem to speak for her more then her words....maybe it's the tab of acid though...
sry, i hit the thumbs down by mistake, when i actually meant to hit the thumbs up. I totally agree, she was such the dream gal for every tech geek in the world. A salute to pure genius and intuition!
Amazing! Sampling and sequencing in the 60's! This predates any understanding I've had of electronic music. The lady was ahead of her time. Too bad she's gone relatively unnoticed.
She is probably the most important person in the history of electronic music, and her name is barely known. Everyone in electronic music owes this woman a great debt, her name should be canonized with the respect it deserves. Thank you Delia, for your genius and inspiration.
@beepbeeprustrust I think that she pioneered many things that many will not have known would be widely used (either musically, instrumentally or technically). Although I don't see her as widely influential in the sense of the artists you mentioned many of the works from the Radiophonic department on which sheworked on have had a bearing on the direction that electronic music has taken over the years. I was intrigued to hear that she created what was considered the first piece of electronic dance
@TheSaintST1 music ever. Though she didn't realise it at the time, the rhythms she created could easily be used today, certainly in alternative electronic dance music. I'd be incredibly surprised if she hasn't had any of her work sampled today.
i am not sure about the most important but certainly no less important than any of the other greats. i mean i cant say she is any better than raymond scott or otto
Me and my buddy beat match mix from MK1200 Turntable to a old Pieoneer Real to Real It was tricky but with pratice can be done well.A Real like that can go for 1,200 easy now.

Amazing! Sampling and sequencing in the 60's! This predates any understanding I've had of electronic music. The lady was ahead of her time. Too bad she's gone relatively unnoticed.

She is probably the most important person in the history of electronic music, and her name is barely known. Everyone in electronic music owes this woman a great debt, her name should be canonized with the respect it deserves. Thank you Delia, for your genius and inspiration.

@trunkeight she was talented, yeah. particularly influental? no. go listen to terry riley or eno.

@beepbeeprustrust I think that she pioneered many things that many will not have known would be widely used (either musically, instrumentally or technically). Although I don't see her as widely influential in the sense of the artists you mentioned many of the works from the Radiophonic department on which sheworked on have had a bearing on the direction that electronic music has taken over the years. I was intrigued to hear that she created what was considered the first piece of electronic dance

@TheSaintST1 music ever. Though she didn't realise it at the time, the rhythms she created could easily be used today, certainly in alternative electronic dance music. I'd be incredibly surprised if she hasn't had any of her work sampled today.

@beepbeeprustrust Yeah. What's with these gits rushing to compare her to modern pop. crud music? You just know they're only doing it to be a butt.

@trunkeight I agree. The Radiophonic Workshop was a great influence on George Martin, without whom...

i am not sure about the most important but certainly no less important than any of the other greats. i mean i cant say she is any better than raymond scott or otto
she is for sure as good.
