'Don’t You Wonder Sometimes About Sound And Vision?’
A response to the life and work of Delia Derbyshire
As part of Charlie Woolley's Radio Show, Space, London
Delia Derbyshire, creator of the theme tune to Dr Who worked at the BBC Radiophonic workshop in the 1960s and early 70s. She was, by all accounts eccentric, charismatic and uncompromising. Uncredited for her work at the time she only began to receive some recognition just before she died.
The performance takes her life and work as a starting point to explore sound, music, time, space and the creative process and comprises of a reading of fragments of texts culled from the internet, JG Ballard, Kurt Vonnegut JR, quotations from and about Derbyshire and artists statements about their working methods repeated, layered and stuck together (literally with sellotape) and metaphorically, in response to Derbyshire’s low fi and experimental working methods.
