Title: Out of Place: Delia Derbyshire in Cumbria (excerpt)
Synopsis: This 10 minute excerpt covers the time electronic music pioneer Delia
Derbyshire spent working at the LYC Foundation in Cumbria in the mid-1970s, with
Chinese abstract artist Li Yuan-chia. It’s one of those stories that will always remain
rather ambiguous, as very little is known about this period in her life, so I have tried
to reflect this in parts of the telling. It has a foundation of two female oral history
testimonies with an original sonic composition, produced to help reflect and re-tell
elements of the story.
Duration: 10 minutes

approaches to storytelling, and this if often reflected in her range of work.
