In 1973, with Brian Hodgson at their newly-formed [[Electrophon]] studio, Delia helped create the soundtrack for ''The Legend of Hell House''. Decidedly Delian elements are the tam-tam backing in ''The Approach to the House''.<br />
<br />
According to Brian Hodgson:<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
She did a little bit on The Legend of Hell House but not very much.<br />
She was not in the right state; she was not really at her most creative at that point. She seemed almost on the edge of a breakdown, of really not knowing what she wanted to do and feeling the pressures were all too great.<ref name=WheelMeOut>[http://www.wheelmeout.com/3_8.php Interview for "Wheel Me Out", 2008]</ref><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
and<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
Delia at that time was going out with a really peculiar bloke.<br />
We called him the Black Dwarf because he was very swarthy and<br />
Delia was very tall and if he appeared in a room with Delia<br />
you could palpably feel every ounce of creativity drain.<br />
It was like a black hole [...] sucking out the creativity. [...]<br />
So she was really not much use, I'm afraid.<br />
She was not in the mood for work.<br />
She would stand around taking her snuff.<br />
That was an unhappy time for me [...]<br />
feeling that I had been abandoned by Delia.<ref>Brian Hodgson on [https://anchor.fm/martyn-ware/episodes/EP88-Brian-Hodgson-e1h53jf "Electronically Yours" EP88] at 53:04.</ref><br />

<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
When she left the BBC, she makes her way North up to the borders of Scotland and England and she settles in the village of Gilsland[?]. She went up there to become a radio operator got Laing pipeline and the reports of people who worked with her said she was brilliant at the job and everybody who worked with her respected her and her abilities and skills. It doesn't fit with the narrative of what many people think an artist should be doing, and that idea that when she goes up North, that these are lost years, these are failed years rather denied[?] her agency. It denies her "I'm making a decision. I don't want to do that any more." While she's up there she married a local labourer, David Hunter. This was not a happy relationship by all accounts, and she moved instead several miles away from Gilsland to the hamlet of Banks which is right beside Hadrian's Wall and there she worked and lived in the [[LYC]] Museum, in the gallery. Now, the LYC was this extraordinary community art centre established the Chinese-born artist Li Yuan-chia and she's there across 1976 and 1977 and she has to manage the place. Now, Li being visited a couple of time by various journalists wanting to report, you know, what was this magical place? And you look at some of the newspaper reports and they said "This is incredible. What he desperately needs is somebody to help him run this place." and Delia is perfectly suited to doing this.<br />
<BR><br />
Before she joined the Radiophonic Workshop, when she fist joined the BBC, she was a studio manager so she would be liasing with the artists, booking them in. helping with exhibiting them and she exhibits, while she is there, Manuel Hoycasten, [[Elsa Stansfield]], people she had worked with previously, so to pitch this as "She's going to the wilderness"--- it's not really the wilderness. There's still a lot of myths, rumours and erroneous notions about what happened to her.<br />

<div>{{Thumb|Martin Guy|Ripping the papers in Manchester}}<br />
<br />
[[Martin Guy]] is the one writing most of this wiki. I never met Delia, but realised, when I first heard her name at age 40, that she had provided some of the most stimulating music I had heard throughout my life.<br />
<br />
I was born in 1964, so from age 5 I would first have heard her music as title themes, incidental music and dances for the BBC Schools' programmes in the late sixties.<br />
<br />
As a teenager in the 70's, of course I loved [[Doctor Who]] and had a similar fascination for an ITV series, [[The Tomorrow People]], whose music and effects were got by "caning" one of her albums, [[ESL104]], then, while a university lecturer at age 25, I was enthralled by a copy of the album [[An Electric Storm]].<br />
<br />
When I first heard her name in 2004 she was already dead but since then she has visited me in [[dreams]] many times, always a positive, encouraging, sometimes delighted figure.<br />
<br />
Now, all good fables start with a disgrace, and the rest of the fable is the story of how the disgrace is put right.<br />
<br />
In this case, the disgrace is that Delia, with excellent technical and cultural preparation, a creative musical ear, mathematical prowess and the enthusiasm to work long hours creating beautiful and revolutionary music, was almost never given credit for her music, and thus her career was wrecked. Furthermore she seems to have been driven mad by a series of exploitative men, burned out after just over a decade and spent the rest of her life lonely, half mad and alcoholic, believing her name to be unknown and her music unheard.<ref>[[Variations_on_the_Dr_Who_theme]]</ref><br />
<br />
My first attempt to correct this disgrace was to take inspiration from a single phrase on [http://delia-derbyshire.org delia-derbyshire.org]:<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;A complete list of her works has yet to be compiled&rdquo;<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />

<div>{{Thumb|Martin Guy|Ripping the papers in Manchester}}<br />
<br />
[[Martin Guy]] is the one writing most of this wiki. I never met Delia, but realised, when I first heard her name at age 40, that she had provided some of the most stimulating music I had heard throughout my life.<br />
<br />
I was born in 1964, so from age 5 I would first have heard her music as title themes, incidental music and dances for the BBC Schools' programmes in the late sixties.<br />
<br />
As a teenager in the 70's, of course I loved [[Doctor Who]] and had a similar fascination for an ITV series, [[The Tomorrow People]], whose music and effects were got by "caning" one of her albums, [[ESL104]], then, while a university lecturer at age 25, I was enthralled by a copy of the album [[An Electric Storm]].<br />
<br />
When I first heard her name in 2004 she was already dead but since then she has visited me in [[dreams]] many times, always a positive, encouraging, sometimes delighted figure.<br />
<br />
Now, all good fables start with a disgrace, and the rest of the fable is the story of how the disgrace is put right.<br />
<br />
In this case, the disgrace is that Delia, with excellent technical and cultural preparation, a creative musical ear, mathematical prowess and the enthusiasm to work long hours creating beautiful and revolutionary music, was almost never given credit for her music, and thus her career was wrecked. Furthermore she seems to have been driven mad by a series of exploitative men, burned out after just over a decade and spent the rest of her life lonely, half mad and alcoholic, believing her name to be unknown and her music unheard.<ref>[[Variations_on_the_Dr_Who_theme]]</ref><br />
<br />
My first attempt to correct this disgrace was to take inspiration from a single phrase on [http://delia-derbyshire.org delia-derbyshire.org]:<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;A complete list of her works has yet to be compiled&rdquo;<br />

[[David Butler]] at 45:35:<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
When she left the BBC, she makes her way North up to the borders of Scotland and England and she settles in the village of Gilsland[?]. She went up there to become a radio operator got Laing pipeline and the reports of people who worked with her said she was brilliant at the job and everybody who worked with her respected her and her abilities and skills. It doesn't fit with the narrative of what many people think an artist should be doing, and that idea that when she goes up North, that these are lost years, these are failed years rather denied[?] her agency. It denies her "I'm making a decision. I don't want to do that any more." While she's up there she married a local labourer, David Hunter. This was not a happy relationship by all accounts, and she moved instead several miles away from Gilton[?] to the hamlet of Banks which is right beside Hadrian's Wall and there she worked and lived in the [[LYC]] Museum in Galrick[?]. Now, the LYC was this extraordinary community art centre established the Chinese-born artist Li Yuan-chia and she's there across 1976 and 1977 and she has to manage the place. Now, Li being visited a couple of time by various journalists wanting to report, you know, what was this magical place? And you look at some of the newspaper reports and they said "This is incredible. What he desperately needs is somebody to help him run this place." and Delia is perfectly suited to doing this.<br />
<BR><br />
Before she joined the Radiophonic Workshop, when she fist joined the BBC, she was a studio manager so she would be liasing with the artists, booking them in. helping with exhibiting them and she exhibits, while she is there, Manual Hoycasten, [[Elsa Stansfield]], people she had worked with previously, so to pitch this as "She's going to the wilderness"--- it's not really the wilderness. There's still a lot of myths, rumours and erroneous notions about what happened to her.<br />

&ldquo;<I>I was really happy as a studio manager until I realised that I could move to the Workshop and before I had even finished asking my boss for a transfer, he had his hand on the telephone.

I was allowed to stay longer and became the most junior person there, even though I was the most highly qualified.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
I joined in 1962 and the first thing that I did was to go off and tour around our European colleagues' studios like the ORTF [Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française at Radio France] to see how they worked. I was so brave - just marching in like that!<br />

When she first came to the Workshop she rummaged along the bookshelves and said "Ooh! You've got this book!" and this book had a lot of tables in about frequencies.

When she left the BBC, she makes her way North up to the borders of Scotland and England and she settles in the village of Gilsland. She went up there to become a radio operator got Laing pipeline and the reports of people who worked with her said she was brilliant at the job and everybody who worked with her respected her and her abilities and skills. It doesn't fit with the narrative of what many people think an artist should be doing, and that idea that when she goes up North, that these are lost years, these are failed years rather denied[?] her agency. It denies her "I'm making a decision. I don't want to do that any more." While she's up there she married a local labourer, David Hunter. This was not a happy relationship by all accounts, and she moved instead several miles away from Gilsland to the hamlet of Banks which is right beside Hadrian's Wall and there she worked and lived in the [[LYC]] Museum in Galrick[?]. Now, the LYC was this extraordinary community art centre established the Chinese-born artist Li Yuan-chia and she's there across 1976 and 1977 and she has to manage the place. Now, Li being visited a couple of time by various journalists wanting to report, you know, what was this magical place? And you look at some of the newspaper reports and they said "This is incredible. What he desperately needs is somebody to help him run this place." and Delia is perfectly suited to doing this.<br />
<BR><br />
Before she joined the Radiophonic Workshop, when she fist joined the BBC, she was a studio manager so she would be liasing with the artists, booking them in. helping with exhibiting them and she exhibits, while she is there, Manual Hoycasten, [[Elsa Stansfield]], people she had worked with previously, so to pitch this as "She's going to the wilderness"--- it's not really the wilderness. There's still a lot of myths, rumours and erroneous notions about what happened to her.<br />

She went up there to become a radio operator got Laing pipeline and the reports of people who worked with her said she was brilliant at the job and everybody who worked with her respected her and her abilities and skills. It doesn't fit with the narrative of what many people think an artist should be doing, and that idea that when she goes up North, that these are lost years, these are failed years rather denied[?] her agency. It denies her "I'm making a decision. I don't want to do that any more." While she's up there she married a local labourer, David Hunter. This was not a happy relationship by all accounts, and she moved instead several miles away from Gilton[?] to the hamlet of Banks which is right beside Hadrian's Wall and there she worked and lived in the [[LYC]] Museum in Galrick[?]. Now, the LYC was this extraordinary community art centre established the Chinese-born artist Li Yuan-chia and she's there across 1976 and 1977 and she has to manage the place. Now, Li being visited a couple of time by various journalists wanting to report, you know, what was this magical place? And you look at some of the newspaper reports and they said "This is incredible. What he desperately needs is somebody to help him run this place." and Delia is perfectly suited to doing this.<br />

Before she joined the Radiophonic Workshop, when she fist joined the BBC, she was a studio manager so she would be liasing with the artists, booking them in. helping with exhibiting them and she exhibits, while she is there, Manual Hoycasten, [[Elsa Stansfield]], people she had worked with previously, so to pitch this as "She's going to the wilderness"--- it's not really the wilderness.

<div>'''Pete Kember''', a.k.a. '''Sonic Boom''', contacted Delia by searching the Coventry phone book<ref>Speaking his own lines in [[Blue Veils and Golden Sands (radio play)]]</ref> and they first met in September 1998.<ref>Delia in the ''[[Surface interview]]''.</ref><br />
He put her in contact with the current generation of musicians who were inspired by her music and coaxed her back into making music again.<br />
<br />
She worked with him by phone and weekly visits to Rugby as adviser/co-producer of the EAR albums ''Vibrations'' (2000) and ''Continuum'' (2001) and together they created the track [[Synchrondipity Machine]].<br />
<br />
Delia thought so highly of him that she gave him her VCS3 synthesizer, a beautiful early model with duck egg white coloured panels.<ref>Personal communication, 16th March 2012</ref><br />

I called Delia while we were recording the song 'Delia Derbyshire', which was the inception, I guess. I didn’t put her in touch with anyone much. She was very shy. I was not terribly successful at getting her back in the saddle. She definitely had been thrown a time or two too many by the music business and fate sadly played its hand early, just as she was just getting back into the whole thing. Delia taught me pretty much everything I know about the structure of sound and during those few years before she died, it was a high point of my life to talk and meet with her.<ref>Peter Kember interviewed by Brian Coney in [http://thequietus.com/articles/24930-pete-kember-sonic-boom-spacemen-3-spectrum-interview ''The Strange World Of...

<I>Working with people like Sonic Boom on pure electronic music has re-invigorated me. He is from a later generation but has always had an affinity with the music of the 60s. One of our first points of contact - the visionary work of Peter Zinovieff - has touched us both and has been an inspiration. Now without the constraints of doing 'applied music', my mind can fly free and pick-up where I left off.</I><ref>[http://www.delia-derbyshire.org delia-derbyshire.org]</ref><br />

It seemed logical to her to blend in more by marrying. She chose the labourer son of a miner, 40-year-old<ref>[[:File:David_Hunter_1939_register.jpg|David Hunter's census entry from 1939]]</ref> from Haltwhistle in Northumberland.<br />
<BR><br />
'She told me she did it to make her socially acceptable,' says Clive with a laugh. The women were wary of her on her own and she wanted to join the darts team. 'To her, it was a marriage of convenience she thought it would be a friendship.<br />

'But they quickly discovered they weren't compatible and had a huge row. That was the end of that but she never divorced him.<ref name=MoS>The [[Mail on Sunday article]], quoting [[Clive Blackburn]].</ref><br />

In the Reeling and Writhing play, Hunter is depicted as a violent man, smashing windows and bullying her when she sought peace at [[Li Yuan-chia]]'s art studio in Cumbria.<br />

&ldquo;<I>At school I wasn't allowed to study music. I studied mathematics, theoretical mechanics and physics.

&ldquo;<I>I won a scholarship to Cambridge reading mathematics.

&ldquo;<I>There were only a few women at the University at that time and so we were treated terribly. But I had the solace of my music.

<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;<I>I was really happy as a studio manager until I realised that I could move to the Workshop and before I had even finished asking my boss for a transfer, he had his hand on the telephone. It turned out that I was the first person who had actually asked to go there. Previously people had been sent, usually unwillingly, for a six month attachment. I was allowed to stay longer and became the most junior person there, even though I was the most highly qualified.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
I joined in 1962 and the first thing that I did was to go off and tour around our European colleagues' studios like the ORTF [Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française at Radio France] to see how they worked. I was so brave - just marching in like that!<br />
<BR><BR><br />
It wasn't long until I returned and began work on [[Doctor Who]]. I had only done one other television programme before that called [[Time On Our Hands]], using beautiful abstract electronic sounds.</I>&rdquo;<ref name=Soundhouse/><br />

&ldquo;<I>At school I wasn't allowed to study music. I studied mathematics, theoretical mechanics and physics.

<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;<I>I won a scholarship to Cambridge reading mathematics. That was a strange year, one third of my fellow students gave the course up and so I was given the opportunity of changing to another subject. Well I wanted to do music; to me that was a forbidden paradise.

<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;<I>There were only a few women at the University at that time and so we were treated terribly. But I had the solace of my music. The musicians hated acoustics and the theory of sound, but when we studied that I was in my element. I found myself drifting away from the syllabus to learn about mediaeval and modern music. That didn't go down too well with my tutors. They wanted me to study the period 1650 to 1900, but it bored me. So I didn't do too well there!</I>&rdquo;<ref name=Soundhouse/><br />

&ldquo;''After my degree I went to the careers office. I said I was interested in sound, music and acoustics, to which they recommended a career in either deaf aids or depth sounding.

<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;<I>There was a programme called Record Review, and they just played tiny extracts from records. And one of the music critics would say, &ldquo;Look, it's on this side of the LP.

April 1962: Delia starts a three-month attachment to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which is to last 11 years.<br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;<I>I was really happy as a studio manager until I realised that I could move to the Workshop and before I had even finished asking my boss for a transfer, he had his hand on the telephone. It turned out that I was the first person who had actually asked to go there. Previously people had been sent, usually unwillingly, for a six month attachment. I was allowed to stay longer and became the most junior person there, even though I was the most highly qualified.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
I joined in 1962 and the first thing that I did was to go off and tour around our European colleagues' studios like the ORTF [Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française at Radio France] to see how they worked. I was so brave - just marching in like that!<br />
<BR><BR><br />
It wasn't long until I returned and began work on [[Doctor Who]]. I had only done one other television programme before that called [[Time On Our Hands]], using beautiful abstract electronic sounds.</I>&rdquo;<ref name=Soundhouse/><br />

<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
When she first came to the Workshop she rummaged along the bookshelves and said "Ooh! You've got this book!" and this book had a lot of tables in about frequencies. Anyway, she went through this book and she found masses of faults, of mistakes in the tables so she sat down and corrected all of those before she started.<ref>Dick Mills, interviewed for the 2010 film [[The Delian Mode (film)|The Delian Mode]].</ref><br />

[[The Dreams]] (1964) is the first of Delia's four [[Inventions for Radio]] produced in collaboration with the poet and dramatist [[Barry Bermange]].<br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
Part of the four programme "Inventions for Radio" series, created in collaboration with Barry Bermange, Dreams is a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews with people describing their dreams. Delia's editing and repetition, together with her dissonant, often terrifying musique concrete soundbeds, make this distinctly uneasy bedtime listening. The entire piece is 45 minutes in length.<ref>[http://delia-derbyshire.org delia-derbyshire.org]</ref> <br />

An invention for radio<BR><br />
by Barry Bermange<BR><br />
arranged in conjunction with<BR><br />
the BBC Radiophonic Workshop<BR><br />
<BR><br />
This programme of sounds and voices is an attempt to re-create in five movements some sensations of dreaming&mdash;running away, falling, landscape, underwater and colour. All the voices were recorded from life and arranged in a setting of pure electronic sounds.<br />

<B>10.15 The Dreams</B><br />
<BR> <br />
The first of three Inventions for radio by Barry Bermange, in collaboration with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. More than ten years have elapsed since these ‘re-creations in sounds and voices’ were first broadcast. They introduced a fresh genre to the medium and remain classics of radio technique.<br />

It also gets called "Within Dreams". <br />

then. The versions are 25-30 min edits of the long versions." ([[James Percival]], personal email)</ref> labelled "TX (Third) 5.1.1964", which lacks the third<br />

''[[Amor Dei]]: A Vision of God'' is the second of the four ''[[Inventions for Radio]]''.<br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
A second invention for radio by Barry Bermange, in collaboration with the B.B.C.'s Radiophonic Workshop, with talk recorded in co-operation with the Old People's Welfare Council, Hornsey. Producer: David Thomson. An attempt to describe God in human terms, and to create, in the manner of a religious painting, an overall impression of man's love for Him. The voices were recorded from life and arranged by the author in a setting of radiophonic sound. [[Plainsong Antiphon]] John Hahessy (boy soprano) - unacc. 16-Nov-1964.<br />

<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<I>When I was doing the Inventions with Barry Bermange he wanted sounds which would sound like a Gothic altarpiece. 'Oh,' I said, 'yes. What a good idea. But what do you really mean? What sort of sounds?' He said 'Well, give me a pencil and paper'. I did, and with great care and elaboration he drew me a beautiful Gothic altarpiece and said 'That's the sort of sound I want'.</I><br />

<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
Barry Bermange said that he himself thought of Amor Dei as ‘rather in the manner of a Renaissance painting with the believers in God in the foreground or centre and half-hidden disbelievers looking out from shadowy places round the edge of the painting.’<br />
<br />
He has made this programme in four sections. In the first you will hear several thoughtful voices groping towards God, feeling their way into something undefined. In the second, some more assured voices cite concrete images; a defined notion of God begins to emerge. The third is a contest between those who love God and those who cannot believe in Him. The assured and confident voices in the last section are inspired by absolute faith.<br />

<br />
and [[Jonathan Harvey]]'s daughter says that<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;a piece of Jonathan's called "''Symphony''" (1966) was partly inspired by Delia's "''Amor Dei''", and "''Symphony''" [went] on to inform some of his later work. [...] Jonathan [said] he liked the breathing quality of the repeated chords.&rdquo;<ref>Personal communication from Jonathan Harvey's daughter, May 2017.</ref><br />

The programme is about life at a certain age, not at the extreme point when people &lsquo;just give up and wait&rsquo; but, perhaps more poignantly, at the point where old age begins and the body just won't work like it used to and the eyes just won't see, the ears just won't hear, and the memory of what you were is dim.<br />

''The Evenings of Certain Lives'' is about the sense of isolation. And the private agony.<ref name=DD110010/><br />

Delia created a piece as backing music for Bronowski's 1973 BBC TV series ''The Ascent of Man'' episode 5: "Music of the Spheres".<br />
<br />
Delia's music appears from 44:47 to 46:54 accompanying simple computer graphics; a fragment is repeated in the closing few seconds. The initial part is also used in episode 1 at 1428 seconds without Bronowski speaking over it (below, "Music of the Spheres clean") and in espisode 11 at 650 seconds.<br />

Delia realised music for [[John Glenister]]'s 1970 TV series ''[[Biography]]'' episode 3: ''[[I measured the skies]]'', a 75-minute biography of Johann Kepler, listed in Briscoe's ''[[Radiophonic Workshop Television and Radio Commitments 1970]]''.<ref>[[DD072725]]</ref><br />
<br />
The title of the episode is taken from Kepler's epitaph:<ref>[http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/105977-i-measured-the-skies-now-the-shadows-i-measure-sky-bound Johann Kepler's epitaph on goodreads.com]</ref><br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
I measured the skies, now the shadows I measure,<br />
<BR><br />
Sky-bound was the mind, earth-bound the body rests.<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
Kelper had invented a system whereby the orbits of the planets corresponded to musical tones and Delia used this as the basis for her musical realization of his ideas.<br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
The theme was based on a 16th-century composition by the astronomer Kepler, called “Harmony of the Spheres,” which was electronically treated to provide the science fiction sound associated with the programme.<br />
Kepler had interpreted the sounds made by the planets into scale notes, and Delia subjected them to her own gliding scale of electronic sounds.<ref>Christine Edge's 1970 newspaper article [[Morse code musician]]</ref><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
&ldquo;While the air-raid sirens and bombing sounds of Delia's youth in<br />
wartime Coventry certainly shaped her music, this piece makes that<br />
influence explicit. This rare recording has only ever been released<br />
on an EMS promotional record.&rdquo;<ref>[http://delia-derbyshire.net/sites/recordings.php.html delia-derbyshire.org]</ref><br />

<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<I>I was there</I> [in Coventry] <I>in the blitz and it's come to me, relatively<br />
recently, that my love for abstract sounds [came from] the air-raid<br />
sirens: that's a sound you hear and you don't know the source of as a<br />
young child... then the sound of the "all clear" - that was electronic<br />
music.</I><ref>Delia, in the [[Boazine interview]]</ref><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
Its tape's catalogue entry is dated January 1970, and on 10th March 1970<br />
the series' director, [[John Glenister]] wrote to Briscoe congratulating Delia for her work:<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
I could not have been more pleased with the results.<br />
I thought I might be asking for the impossible, to<br />
restrict Delia's musical talents within the constraints<br />
of what had already been established.<br />
[...] His primitive ideas on 'The Harmony of the Spheres' were realized<br />
with incredible sensitivity and emotive power by Delia's music.<br />
Please pass on my sincere thanks and admiration.<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
[[Music of Spheres]] is not to be confused with a different piece of music that Delia created for Bronowski's BBC TV series ''The Ascent of Man'' episode 5: ''[[Music of the Spheres]]''.<br />

Delia created [[Blue Veils and Golden Sands]] as incidental music<ref>[[Special Sound]], p.124</ref> for the episode ''The Last Caravans'' in the documentary series ''The World About Us''<ref>[[Mark Ayres]] in [[Sculptress of Sound]].</ref>.<br />
<br />
In her papers Delia also calls it "Blue Veiled Men and Golden Sands", which is also what it is called in the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop - surviving work]] catalogue, and it also gets called "The World About Us: ''The Blue Veiled Men''".<ref>[[Delia Derbyshire's Creative Process]], p.14 Table II.1.</ref><br />

<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<I>This was a documentary program about the Tuareg tribe. The Tuareg tribe are nomads in the Sahara desert and I think they live by bartering, taking salt, I think it was, across the desert. In the piece [...] I tried to convey the distance of the horizon and the heat haze, the strands of camels wandering across the desert, and then there's this very high, slow reedy sound. That indicates the strand of camels seen at a distance, wandering across the desert. That in fact was made from square waves on the valve oscillators we've just talked about, but square waves put though every filter I could possibly find to take out all the bass frequencies and so one just hears the very high frequencies. It had to be something out of this world.</I><ref>Delia in the [[Radio Scotland interview]].</ref><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
mostly created using electronic oscillators - severely high-pass filtered - to give the "shimmering heat haze" backdrop to the Tuareg tribesmen weaving slowly across the screen of a period documentary. Delia has since referred to the piece as including her "castrated oboe", but the only non-electronic source really recorded is her voice, cut up and re-pieced.<ref>[http://delia-derbyshire.org/recordings.php delia-derbyshire.org]</ref><br />

phenomenally atmospheric; such is its surround-sound quality that it totally transcends the narrow constraints of simply coming from my speakers, instead filling the room, my consciousness, the air itself. And yet virtually nothing happens...<ref>Robin Carmody in [[Wee have also sound-houses (article)|Wee also have sound-houses]]</ref><br />

Among her outstanding television work, one of her favourites was composed for a documentary for The World About Us on the Tuareg people of the Sahara desert. It still haunts me. She used her own voice for the sound of the hooves, cut up into an obbligato rhythm, and she added a thin, high electronic sound using virtually all the filters and oscillators in the workshop.<br />

<I>"My most beautiful sound at the time was a tatty green BBC lampshade,"</I> she recalled. <I>"It was the wrong colour, but it had a beautiful ringing sound to it. I hit the lampshade, recorded that, faded it up into the ringing part without the percussive start.<br />
<BR><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I analysed the sound into all of its partials and frequencies, and took the 12 strongest, and reconstructed the sound on the workshop's famous 12 oscillators to give a whooshing sound. So the camels rode off into the sunset with my voice in their hooves and a green lampshade on their backs."</I><ref>Brian Hodgson's [[Guardian obituary]]</ref><br />

Few could disagree with Delia's own remark on hearing Blue Veils again in the 90's: <br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
"<I>Doesn't it just melt you?!</I>"<br />

The lampshade in question is the Coolicon Utility Lighting Shade, British Patent No 419602, Registered Design No 777912; they sometimes appear for sale on ebay.<br />

&ldquo;The piece is just over three minutes long, and begins with percussive sounds that seems to fade in from the distance, almost like a church bell. This is followed by the central “theme”, with the “shimmering” quality. The percussion is heard intermittently. There are other sounds “melting” in and the piece seems to meander aimlessly, and the piece does not achieve a climax. Neither the sounds (instruments) nor the melody are recognisable. It simply becomes, fills the space, at time piercingly so, and then ceases to become. Overall, the effect is of something slowly approaching, and then slowly moving away.&rdquo;<ref>[[Breege Brennan's thesis]].</ref><br />

&ldquo;Delia analysed the film of the Tuaregs in the desert, she counted the number of camels' feet going across and she based her music on the tempo of the camels walking along and also she recorded a single voice note of her own and repitched that to do the tune over the top.&rdquo;<ref>[[Dick Mills]] interviewed on ''[[Woman's Hour 2008-07-25]].</ref><br />

=Analysis=<br />
[[James Percival]] says of these pieces:<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
'The Dream of Later Tonight' and 'The Skin Dream' use textures lifted virtually unchanged from 'The After Life' and 'Amor Dei' respectively, whilst 'The Dream of a Faraway Place' sets new (Delaware/Synthi 100?) material derived probably from some interesting spectral study (not found elsewhere on the Attic tapes as far as I recall) against the third section of Amor Dei ("I'd like to believe in God, but...")<ref>James Percival in [https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1863983360324838&id=169766083079916&comment_id=1866013546788486 a comment on facebook] on 28th July 2018.</ref><br />
