Delia Derbyshire was a pioneering electronic music composer, born in Coventry, England on May 5th, 1937. She is best known for her groundbreaking work with the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, where she created an iconic electronic realization of Ron Grainer's theme music. Her contributions to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop further solidified her status as a trailblazer in the field.
Inspired by artists such as John Baker and Daphne Oram, Derbyshire pushed the boundaries of electronic music during her career. Her unique soundscapes and experimental compositions continue to influence musicians to this day. With a wide range of similar artists like Laurie Spiegel and Raymond Scott, fans of innovative electronic music will find delight in exploring Derbyshire's catalog.
Although Delia Derbyshire passed away on July 3rd, 2001 in Northampton, England, her legacy lives on through her extraordinary contributions to the world of electronic music.

The BBC’s Third Programme aired four radio broadcasts between January 1964 and September 1965, collectively known as Inventions for Radio.
 They were ground-breaking in both form and content, conceived by playwright Barry Bermange and consisting of the voices of the general public answering questions on four themes,
 one for each programme: dreams, the existence of God, life after death and ageing. At a time when it was unheard of to give a media platform to anyone perceived as being of
 low socio-economic status, the broadcasts generated many complaints for the “rough” voices of its participants.
 
 Delia Derbyshire was assigned by the Radiophonic Workshop to edit and add electronic music/ effects.
 The collaborative result is dreamlike and mesmerizing, an audial window to another era.
 For many years Derbyshire was not credited for her contribution, nor were the broadcasts available commercially, although they still managed to acquire something of a cult following.
 
 This boxset includes one CD for each broadcast and two further CDs of additional material.
 There is a 20-page booklet with extensive notes by Mark Ayres (Producer) and David Butler, (one of the lead researchers and
 curators of the Delia Derbyshire Archive and co-founder of Delia Derbyshire Day).
 The insight into Derbyshire’s archive, her music and its influences and her collaboration with Bermange is fascinating, providing context for
 these extraordinary pieces which have been the most elusive of Twentieth Century classics until now.
