Theatre programme cover

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]

Reviews

“a production with some interesting effects of sound and vision for the supernatural and a semi-musical setting of the witch chants in contemporary idioms.”[3]

“The [characters] are of no period or place and the sounds around them are electronic and anonymous.”[4]

“A great night for the noises off... a night of whistling and whinnying and the calls of whippoorwills, of electronic music for the witches' chants, of echo chambers and metallic vibrations from the back projected ghosts.”[5]

“[The] production gets nearer the centre of the play than more ambitious rivals. Liberally employing what Henry Reed once dubbed “reinforced concrete music” and setting the action on a tilted promontory suspended above two jagged edge rostra, it evokes the right atmosphere of eerie ambivalence in which nothing is but what is not.”[6]

Track listing

The following list of tracks is composited from various sheets in Delia's papers.

The Cue column is from a typewritten sheet given to Delia by the production team, typed up from Ewan Coopers handwritten notes.[7][8]

The Tape columns come from Delia's handwritten notes.[9][10][11]
