DELIA DERBYSHIREBBCRADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP TSHIRT WHITE NEGATIVE PHOTOGRAPHICnbspIMAGEDelia Derbyshires work at the BBCs Radiophonic Workshop in the 60s was recognised initially for her realisation of the now iconic Doctor Who Theme which was written for the shownbspby Ron Grainer.

nbspMore recently though, she has been celebrated for her own compositions and experiments at what was then the cutting edge of electronic music.

This unique shirt has the cover of the limited 7 vinyl release of two of her pieces Catalogue Number SIL71458.

nbspThe AA side was written for a TV documentary in 1967,nbspBlue Veils and Golden Sands, in which she used her own voice and a handy green BBC lampshade I analysed the sound into all of its partials and frequencies, and took the 12 strongest, and reconstructed the sound on the workshops famous 12 oscillators to give a whooshing sound.
