« Redirected from dupe: Delia Derbyshire, the pioneer of minimal

Delia Derbyshire is best known as the woman who recorded the theme to Dr. Who (1963).

Derbyshire's work used electronic oscillators and magnetic audio tape editing (including tape loops and reverse tape effects) to create eerie and unearthly sound, unlike anything that had been heard before. Derbyshire's original Doctor Who theme is one of the first television themes to be created and produced by entirely electronic means.
