Delia Derbyshire / Brian Hodgson / Don Harper ‎– "Electrosonic" (KPM Music ‎– KPM 1104) 1972


Again Delia and Brian earning a few extra quid moonlighting for a soundtrack library,under the pseudonyms of Li De La Russe,and Nikki St.George,inexplicably, with Aussie Jazz violinist Don Harper.
A lot of these kind of electronic ditties used to frequently turn up on kids programmes,and programming for schools when i was a nipper.So there's a nostalgic feeling about them, ironically, as they were supposed to invoke visions of the future;but as always, the future envisaged in the past is so much better than the actual future we actually get.

3 Computermatic 1:10
4 Frontier Of Knowledge 2:02

Really appreciate these Delia posts, thank you. On the subject of BBC Radiophonic music, any chance of sharing anything from Daphne Oram?

You're in luck Doug. She'll be up after the DD connected stuff.Without Daphne,there would have been NO BBC radiophonic workshop.
