Last week Yr7 did a whistle-stop tour through the sound-world of Delia Derbyshire. Her pioneering work at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop during the 1960’s was heard on over 200 radio and TV programmes. One of her first works, and the most widely known, was her 1963 electronic realisation of the Doctor Who theme, one of the first television themes to be created and produced by entirely electronic means.
Delia, and fellow experimental pioneer Daphne Oram, explored the possibilities of sound manipulation to create new timbres. Students were encouraged to think about everyday sounds and how they could be transformed.
