Philips

(For the tape recorder of similar name that Delia used at the Workshop, see Phillips.)

Philips is a piece of commercial work done by Delia and Brian Hodgson at Unit Delta Plus for a TV advertising campaign.

We did one commercial sound called Philips which was something like “wup!” and that was it.
