No Dough Music

Delia Derbyshire was the woman who created one of the most familiar television title themes of the last 50 years.

The music for the TV show Doctor Who has aged remarkably well, despite it’s constant play over the last 5 decades, largely due to its distinctly strong melody and rhythm section. Although her legacy lives on to this today, with the mood of the original version still felt in the latest offering of the piece, she was a hugely under-rated artist who never really saw the recognition she deserved. She was a true pioneer of electronic music who should be regarded with the same stature as the greats of electronic music, such as Henry, Schaeffer, Stockhauen, Kraftwerk and Moroder.
