Episode 162 Chapter 23, Radiophonic Music in the United Kingdom. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  This episode of the podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast.

POW! is a selection of music keen to experiment with explosive sounds. This is music that transports the listener to different states of mind. The music is mainly rock by bands that use exploration, improvisation and rawness in their material. The selection includes legendary experimentalist German bands Can and Neu! Two essential bands from Manchester that emerged from the punk and post punk era, The Fall and A Certain Ratio. The American band from the current alternative scene of San Francisco Thee Oh Sees. Atom Rhumba is a band from Bilbao influenced by the powerful sounds of James Brown and the Stooges. The garage raw sound of the Australian punk band The Celibate Rifles. The Gainsbourg-Birkin inspired duo from France, The Limiñanas. The Cameroonian Afro funk-rock singer Joseph Kamga. The Swedish psychedelic and progressive group Dungen and their fellow compatriots Goat, a trailblazer music collective producing crossover world music with a punk attitude. Lucifer Rising is a lysergic hell of a tune of the early days of The Flaming Lips. Punk is one of the common denominators of most of the bands included. If not part of the punk scene, some artists here were punk influencers like the German bands mentioned above. But not all is rock. Brazilian current new Tropicalista sensation Sessa adds a more intimate and mellow tone to the mix. Finally, you will find a beguiling pop song at the end by one of the early pioneers of electronic music. She is the acclaimed BBC recording engineer Delia Derbyshire performing under the artist's name White Noise with fellow BBC sound engineer Brian Hodgson and American electronic student David Vorhaus in their eponymous album from 1969.

Episode 022: The Keys to Room Twenty-Two: Selections from the Post-Psychedelic Era Part TwoThe Bee Gees - Sweet Song of Summer (UK 1972) A true oddity in the brothers Gibb's sprawling discography, sounding like a lost track from their psych era four years previous.  They create quite an atmosphere that fuses trippy synth experiments with battle percussion and chants that sound like a crew of vikings backing them.  Part of their "lost" period where they are coming out of their early Beatle-esque pop sound, but before they'd stumble on a super successful style more informed by American soul and R&B.Vangelis Papathanis - Sunny Earth (Greece 1973) Originally part of Greek psychedelic warlords Aphrodite's Child, this moody sound piece comes from Vangelis' second solo album.  After a prolific run of albums, Vangelis would eventually find much success in the field of soundtrack world.Yoko Ono - Greenfield Morning I Pushed an Empty Baby Carriage All Over the City (US 1970) Yoko's work is often polarizing, sometimes dismissed as avant-garde rambling - but her early work does have its gems.  On this standout track from her first album, her trademark shriek is backed by a thumping groove that provides just enough grounding for her to deliver her audible freak out.Spirit - The Other Song (1975) Recorded several years after their "heyday", this song sounds like it could be a relic from their Dr. Sardonicus era.  Produced by the enigmatic Randy California, this phased wonder comes from the second album they recorded after their first initial reunion, Son of Spirit. White Noise - Love Without Sound (1969) Pioneers of early electronic exploration, this band began as a group project between David Vorhaus and BBC Radio Workshop members Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson.  Their first album contains some of the most forward thinking and bizarre electronic music of the time, and foreshadows how music would be made in the future with it's use of tape loops and wacky machines.Kevin Ayers - The Confessions of Dr. Dream (UK 1974) Originally part of prog-psych legends The Soft Machine, Kev Ayers solo discography is filled with many highlights and is most definitely worth exploring.  This psychedelic masterpiece features the haunting voice of Nico, which adds to the spooky and otherworldly mood of the track.

This week's exciting Electronically Yours episode features a truly iconic figure in the history of electronic pop music, David Vorhaus. David started his career as an early member of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where he met Delia Derbyshire. They went on to form White Noise, whose first album An Electric Storm was released at the peak of the psychedelic revolution in 1969 on Island Records. One if my top 3 all-time electronic albums, it still sounds like the future today… He has also designed his own instruments including the legendary Kaleidophon, and together with Mike Painter is about to release the latest White Noise album, Lightning Strikes Twice.

In 1968 he formed the band White Noise with Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson of the Radiophonic Workshop. Their debut release, An Electric Storm, has since garnered cult status and is recognised by Island Records as being an important album in its genre. One of his early samples on the Fairlight CMI was of an orchestral stab, taken from a recording of Stravinsky's Firebird by the Philharmonia Orchestra, that has since become the most used sample in music history. As a bassist with no interest in playing keyboards, David developed the Kaleidophon ribbon controller and the Maniac analogue sequencer, something he has since rebuilt in digital form using Reaktor.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Noise_(band)Rob PuricelliRob Puricelli is a Music Technologist and Instructional Designer who has a healthy obsession with classic synthesizers and their history. In conjunction with former Fairlight Studio Manager, Peter Wielk, he fixes and restores Fairlight CMI's so that they can enjoy prolonged and productive lives with new owners.He also writes reviews and articles for his website, failedmuso.com, and other music-related publications, and has guested on a number of music technology podcasts and shows. He can often be found at various synthesizer shows demonstrating his own collection of vintage music technology.www.failedmuso.com

We look ahead to Delia Derbyshire Day 2019 with event organiser Caro C. Delia Derbyshire Day is a Manchester-based organisation, which pays homage to Delia Derbyshire. The organisation's work is centred around the Delia Derbyshire Archive which is held at John Rylands Library in Manchester city centre. A popular event in the cultural calendar, this year's Delia Derbyshire Day incorporates the Electric Storm 50 project, which honours the 50th anniversary of the album 'An Electric Storm' by White Noise, a trio made of up David Vorhaus, BBC Radiophonic workshop member Brian Hodgson and Delia Derbyshire. Best known for her realisation of Ron Grainer's original Dr Who theme in 1963, which is widely recognised as an iconic piece of early electronic music. Delia also produced music and sound for radio, theatre, film and even fashion shows.

The broadcaster and Doctor Who fan MATTHEW SWEET travels to The University of Manchester - home of Delia Derbyshire's private collection of audio recordings - to learn more about the wider career and working methods of the woman who realised Ron Grainer's original theme to Doctor Who. Delia's collection of tapes was, until recently, in the safekeeping of MARK AYRES, archivist for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Matthew meets up at Manchester University with Mark, along with Delia's former colleagues from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, BRIAN HODGSON and DICK MILLS - plus former 'White Noise' band member DAVID VORHAUS - to hear extracts from the archive, discuss their memories of Delia and the creative process behind some of her material. Her realisation of the Doctor Who theme is just one small example of her genius and we'll demonstrate how the music was originally created as well as hearing individual tracks from Delia's aborted 70's version. We'll also feature the make up tapes for her celebrated piece 'Blue Veils and Golden Sands', and hear Delia being interviewed on a previously 'lost' BBC recording from the 1960s. Matthew's journey of discovery will take in work with the influential poet Barry Bermange, as well as her 1971 piece marking the centenary of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. This Archive on 4 is brought up to date with an individual track from 'The Dance' from the children's programme 'Noah'. Recorded in the late 1960s this remarkable tape sounds like a contemporary dance track which wouldn't be out of place in today's most 'happening' trance clubs. Producer: Phil Collinge.
