You know about Johannes Kepler, right? An absolutely visionary 16th/17th century scientist, he was one of the first to apply mathematical physics to astronomy. He uncovered the mathematical model that underlies planetary orbital motion. He didn't know that this was gravity, that discovery would come later with Newton. Even so, he's one of the pivotal figures in the history of science, and his some of his work was very influential. In his later years, however, he became a little strange. His thinking had become tainted by astrology and religion, and he was convinced [...]
wikipedia.org: "Delia Ann Derbyshire (5 May 1937 - 3 July 2001) was an English musician and composer of electronic music and musique concrète. She is best known for her electronic realisation of Ron Grainer's theme music to the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and for her work with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop."

You might have known this for years, but it's news to us: house didn't come from a bunch of gay black guys in Chicago, it was invented by a well spoken British lady called Delia Derbyshire at some point in the 60's.

The late 1960s experimental group, White Noise, helped typify the start of electronic music. The band was made up of electronic pioneers; Delia Derbyshire , David Vorhaus , Brian Hodgson , and Mark Jenkins. They all worked closely and were well-known due to their relation to the famous BBC Radiophonic Workshop . Through the Unit Delta Plus, an organization that was intended to use, create and promote electronic music, Delia helped set up the Kaleidophon studio in London, which was later where the band produced their debut album, [...]
My Friend Wallis Vancouver, Canada Crystal Dorval I started My Friend Wallis as a recording side project to another band I used to play in called Vincat. Things fizzled out with that so I ended up adopting My Friend Wallis as my main brain child. I released my first EP "When The Blue Turned Yellow" in June 2009 and the release party was my first show and basically the start of the band. The [...]

Photo by Dariowaty Since 2003, the Unsound Festival has been about bringing the disparate impulses inherent in electronic music under one roof - a music event urging you to scratch your chin one minute and dance your ass off the next. Presenting itself like a film festival but booked like a forward-thinking summertime weekender, Unsound has consistently showcased brilliant and challenging new sounds without ripping them from their underground trappings. Any music festival as likely to feature Sunn 0))) as Zomby is sure to pique my interest, but by nature of it happening [...]

Basil Kirchin - Conclusion (zShare) Delia Derbyshire - Doctor Who...
In part 1 we introduced you to a few of the hairy little beasties that make us come over all squeamish. Our French dictionary interprets creepy crawlies as bestioles , though I am rather taken with Terrifiante Rampante which is the answer a free translation website just fed back to me. Last time, Polnareff declared himself King of the Ants, then had a change of heart and turned himself into a fly. Well we have some news for you Monsieur Polnareff, here comes Mister Tovey to usurp petit Michel. [...]
This month's mix is something a little different... Bleak, strung out instrumentals with drones, tones and chimes - pop music this ain't. Less a 'mix' more a 'blend' and best listened to on your own at 4am. I hope you like it. Beat Djs - April Mini-Mix Tracklist: 1. Don Cherry - Malkauns 2. Arthur Russell - Place I Know / Kid Like You [...]

I'm a ferocious insomniac. Anything can keep me awake. The credit crisis, an upsetting Prime Time report, the smell of my own farts, cheese, the hag, existential dread, the anticipation of my alarm going off, the torturous replaying of alternative versions of humiliating incidents from earlier in the day, credit card bills, peaking oil stocks and how long it will be until we are all scrabbling through the post-apocalyptic ruins of the IFSC splintering our fingernails on unopened tins of Whiskas in the nuclear half-light. Y'know, all the usual sort of stuff. To make matters worse my bedroom [...]

Delia Derbyshire (1937-2001) is a name virtually unheard of in Germany yet in the UK she remains one of the true pioneers of electronic music. Derbyshire was born in Coventry and studied mathematics and music at Cambridge. This curious combination no doubt influenced her work as an innovator in the field of bringing logical, scientific approaches to the field of electronic music to create something new and inspired. Her developing interest in music led her to apply for a position as a sound engineer at Decca Records only to be turned down on [...]
delia derbyshire Thanks to ISO50 for posting this amazing recording of Delia Derbyshire 's utterly haunting 1964 sound collage, " Dreams ," in which Derbyshire set "a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews" of people relating details of their recurring dreams (or nightmares) against her own "dissonant, often terrifying musique concrete soundbeds..." Listen alone in the dark for the full effect. mp3: delia derbyshire :: dreams pt. 4: sea (1964 UK radio) While browsing other Delia Derbyshire recordings [...]
I actually was able to hook up my turntable to my laptop without it sounding like complete ass, so I might actually record some shit this week. Does anyone know how good Audacity is when it comes to recording/audio clean-up? With my computer dying and other crap I've had a really shit week and while that usually means industrial music for all of you I'm going to mix it up a bit and try to stay positive (I know! I'm shocked too!) with some songs that cheer my hate-filled ass up. Incidentally, The song that actually cheers me [...]
Okay Delia, here's the brief: we've got a rebellious robot that's recruiting all of the other robots into a strange messianic cult. There's going to be lots of chanting. Do you think you could do us a soundtrack? Preferably one that disguises the fact that we've only got about £25 to pay for props and set. Working at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop sounds like it must have been the best job ever. Here's Delia Derbyshire's powerful, unnerving, and ever so slightly 1 barmy Ziw-zih Ziw-zih OO-OO-OO . It's an early [...]
Delia Derbyshire - The Delian Mode Sorry for the delay since the last 'pioneers' post... been having to "sort a lot of things out" as they say in MI5. In code. Anyway... here is a contribution from the late Delia Derbyshire, an extremely talented musician who went to work for the BBC Radiophonic workshop at a time when their music-making equipment consisted of various 'oscillators', a lot of magnetic tape, a lot of tools to manipulate tape, and various household and industrial devices that could be pressed [...]
