Re: Dr Delia Derbyshire
'Wee also have Sound Houses' is available on YouTube, and the BBC still hold a radio documentary about Derbyshire on their website, called 'Sculptress of Sound'. Both excellent, although I don't remember Derbyshire appearing on the Oram programme.
I think what makes Derbyshire's output remarkable is not only the ways in which she exploited the limited technology available to her, but also her highly analytical and inspired gift for composition- I find her music far easier to listen to and appreciate than Oram's, for example, remarkable though Oram was, especially from the point of view of technical vision.
