Revision as of 13:13, 29 May 2016
With Kaleidophon, Delia created sound for Ewan Hooper's production of Macbeth at the Greenwich Theatre, opening on the 18th February 1971.
For other versions, see Macbeth.
Apart from the sound effects, the most interesting track must surely be the Witches' Dance[1] in which “They sing their cauldron recipe to a waltz song like the doctors in Wozzeck.”[2]
Delia seems to have reused sound from Aztecs, thunder from King Lear and something from her music for Yoko Ono's Wrapping Event.[3] On the VCS3 she created the "Sweet martlets", "crow" and "purry pussy" effects[4] as well as the "twangy crochets"[5] for one of the pieces of music.[6] She also used "Annette's voice on tape, v.treated".Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
