Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Pioneers Of Sound (2018)
I very much enjoyed Caroline Catz's film about Delia Derbyshire that was broadcast on BBC4 on this evening, and following it I found myself watching an enthralling BBC Proms 2018 repeat, particularly enjoying an improvisation by Suzanne Ciani using a couple of tablets, and the turntablist Shiva Feshareki, who somehow echoed and merged two orchestras at the same time. The whole thing was presented live at the time by Anna Meredith.

Daphne Oram’s visionary Still Point fills the cavernous space of the Royal Albert Hall for the first time in the premiere of a revised realisation based on recently discovered archive material. Composed in 1949 – almost a decade before Oram co-founded the BBC Radiophonic Workshop – the piece was possibly the first to combine a live orchestra with live electronic manipulations, here played via turntables.
Still Point forms the centrepiece of a late-night sonic exploration that features work by Delia Derbyshire – another Radiophonic Workshop pioneer who achieved cult status for her electronic arrangement of the Doctor Who TV theme – as well as new works inspired by the Radiophonic legacy.
