'''Brian Hodgson''' was Delia's closest friend and co-worker throughout her Radiophonic Workshop days from 1962-1973.

He worked with her on most of her moonlighting work while at the BBC, including [[ESL104]] and the [[An Electric Storm]] albums.

In 1966-67, he worked with Delia and [[Peter Zinovieff]] as [[Unit Delta Plus]] and in 1972/73 they left the Workshop at the same time and he cashed in his pension to set up the [[Electrophon]] studio with her. She contributed to the soundtrack for [[The Legend of Hell House]] but left within the year.

Brian returned to the BBC and in 1983 became Head of the Radiophonic Workshop. From then on he spoke with Delia about once every six months.<ref name=BHInThesis/>

She always felt the limitations of the technology. It was so difficult, you were wrestling with it the whole time, and the deadline would be creeping up and there was no time if you had an idea and it wasn't working. There would come a point where you couldn't go back and try new ideas because the deadline was going to be there. It just took so long to do anything.<ref>Quoted in [[Special Sound]], p.142.</ref>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
She had these incredible ideas, but the technology wouldn't let her bring them to fruition. You were pushing the equipment beyond its ability to give you what you wanted, so everything was a compromise.<ref>Quoted in [[Special Sound]], p.171.</ref>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Delia and I used to say there are ''arbits'' and ''omens'', and that's how we worked.
The ''arbit'' was an arbitrary length of tape which you inserted into something,
that suddenly made it all work [...] and an ''omen'' was something that happened
quite by accident: you'd dropa piece of equipment and it made a magic sound, or you'd fall over something or somebody would spill something on something or a joint would suddenly break in a piece of tape and something magic would happen.<ref>Quoted in [[These Hopeful Machines]].</ref>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Delia was supposed to join me [at [[Electrophon]]] but 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.

One night many years ago, as we left Zinovieff's studio, she paused on Putney Bridge. ''‘What we are doing now is not important for itself,’'' she said, ''‘but one day someone might be interested enough to carry things forwards and create something wonderful on these foundations.’''
