Delia Derbyshire - Ziwzih Ziwzih OO-OO-OO

[@niclawson8469]

She was a revolutionary woman in electronic music. But you know that because you are here...

[@trespire]

Delia was a visionary in analog electronic music. At a time when the electronic synthesizer hadn't yet been invented.

[@LukesShorts]

This sounds ahead of time even now

[@trespire]

That's because there is nothing else produced in the same way. This is all analogue. Physically cutting & pasting endless reels of magnetic tape over & over to produce a few moments of sound.

[@cbfall]

Absolutely agree!!

[@mickram23]

These people were true pioneers of Electronic Music. I bet even Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream would have been in awe of them.

[@coosoorlog]

I think there's a decent chance those musicians were aware of Derbyshire, Carlos, Oliveros etc. and were influenced by their work.

[@joezava8257]

Delia Derbyshire era la Giorgio Moroder de los 60s ya que ella pensaba en EDM con una electronica pura y fluida como la escuela de Berlín y no el Krautrock ni el estancado Düsseldorf...

[@ethy_bates_art]

@@coosoorlog as a huge fan of both, I definitely agree - even in their song 'the robots' they repeatedly use an oscillating sound four times - like the one at 0:15 here. both songs are about robots - surely not a coincidence!

[@marioserna3564]

​​@@joezava8257Desafortunadamente Kraftwerk y Tangerine Dream fueron los principales genios de los música electrónica en los 70's, cuando Moroder andaba entre hacer bubble gum músico inspirarse en la misma música Krautrock, un poco antes de salvar a la música disco del estancamiento con Casablanca Records, antes Oasis Records¿Haz oído Ezenglade de Moroder?

[@joezava8257]

@@marioserna3564 Nuevamente y con fines educativos: Giorgio Moroder el inicio del EDM y la Electrónica Moderna. Giorgio Moroder comenzó a experimentar con la electrónica desde inicios de 1970 partiendo directamente con el desarrollo y experimentación de las 4 líneas sólidas de la Música Electrónica Clásica (E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental y E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi, Cósmic) en síntesis y agregados a canciones Pop/Rock (bajo un inicio preferencial por las lineas E. Moog y E. Soundtrack / Moog Modular IIIp/IIIc) en temas como Stop (1970), Arizona Man (Mery Ross 1970), Song Of My Father (1971), Tears (1971) y otras producciones para grupos y artistas Europeos (Lulu, Sue Kramer, Chicory Tips...) que buscaban esta nueva síntesis de la E. Moog con temas Pop/Rock de la epoca, en paralelo los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk) solo hacian ruido y soplaban flautas en Düsseldorf con su característico Progressive Rock Alemán & Krautrock (las cuales no eran líneas clásicas, directas ni procedentes de la música electrónica). Para 1975 Moroder lanzó su primer álbum electrónico Einzelganger donde aplicó magistralmente los 4 pilares de la Música Electrónica Clásica (E. Moog, E. Experimental, E. Post Concreta y E. Soundtrack/Ambiente, Sci-Fi) además del uso en lo más avanzado de cajas de ritmos, sintetizadores, secuenciadores y otros equipos tecnológicos de la década, mientras tanto Kraftwerk (1974) en Düsseldorf empezaban a replicar y copiar estas líneas clásicas de la Música Electrónica mezcladas con el Krautrock Alemán (Autobhan), Moroder para 1975 superaba ampliamente las producciones de Kraftwerk (1974) en el uso, composición y produccion de las 4 líneas pilares de la Música Electrónica Clásica (sin sustancia Krautrock & Rock Progresivo Alemán de por medio), Einzelganger fue lanzado meses antes del álbum Radioactivity ese mismo año (1975), los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk) empezaban a prestar más atención a las producciones (Music L. Studio) de su vecino en Munich. La caida definitiva de Kraftwerk llegó en 1977 con las nuevas producciones electrónicas de Moroder (continuando el desarrollo y evolución del álbum de Einzelganger / Working To The Midnight Shift, Queen For A Day, Now I Need You, I Feel Love y su segundo álbum electrónico From Here To Eternity) que finalmente evolucionaron, fusionaron y revolucionaron las 4 líneas clásicas de la Música Electrónica ese mismo año con el modelo concreto del EDM, todo ello bajo el inicio de los 2 géneros electrónicos raíces y primarios que dan inicio a esta escena electrónica: el HI-NRG y Synth-Pop. Bajo esta naciente escena electrónica en su primera fase de desarrollo y evolución (1977-1980) se formaron y consolidaron 5 géneros electrónicos matrices del EDM Concreto 70's: HI-NRG, Synthpop, Electro, Italo Disco y Electro Funk. Kraftwerk y su estancad., rústico y poco desarroll. album T. Europa E. (1977) seden y se inclinan ante el modelo EDM Concreto de Giorgio Moroder en 1978 con el album The Man Machine donde prácticamente los muchachos de Conny Plank adhieren, replican y toman evidentemente las bases electrónicas concretas del EDM (HI-NRG y Synth-Pop) en temas como Spacelab, Metropolis, The Model, The Robots...entre otros. Kraftwerk abatido por Moroder comienza a poner fin a su descendencia y estirpe Progressive Rock Alemán & Krautrock Düsseldorf en futuras producciones, más aún cuando en 1980 Ryuichi Sakamoto y sus producciones independientes asociadas a YMO (E. Japon en síntesis con el EDM post 1977) inician el modelo electrónico matriz y primario del Electro (1980), a partir de aquí nuevamente los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk) replican y toman las producciones de Ryuichi Sakamoto (entre otros productores y desarrolladores de Electrónica hasta 1980) para la formación del álbum Computer Word (1981), esta vez la fuente era de Ryuichi Sakamoto y sus trabajos de ese año 1980 / Lexington Queen, Wareheat, B-2 Unit y el santo grial del sonido matriz del Electro Riot In Lagos (en uso pionero del Roland TR-808), sumado a esto lo mas minimalista del HI-NRG y Synth-Pop alcanzado hasta 1980 + las principales líneas electrónicas del conjunto de los máximos productores y desarrolladores de los 70's que modelaron y reforzaron las bases y raíces del EDM y la nueva fase de la Electrónica Moderna: Moroder (E. Munich), Jarre (E. Francia), Lacksman (E. Bélgica), YMO (E. Japón), Tangerine Dreams & Schulze (E. Berlín)...entre otros. Las bases primarias del EDM Concreto 70's + las lineas electrónicas del conjunto de los máximos productores y desarrolladores de Electrónica de los 70's (tercera Ola): Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, YMO, Tangerine Dreams, Schulze, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas, Decerf, Martín W. & Ian C...son las raíces electrónicas fundamentales para el inicio y ramificación de géneros en la segunda fase de evolución y desarrollo del EDM 80's (1981-1989): House, Techno, Synth-Pop, HI-NRG, Freestyle, Italo Disco, Electro Funk, New Beat, Trance, Acid, Electro, Eurobeat...incluyendo la base electrónica primaria del "ebm" (Mute & Industrial Récords), lo mas sofisticado del electro industrial, los moldes electrónicos primarios que adoptaron y adherieron las masa de Punk, Rockeros, Progressive, Glam, Krautrock's convertidos de finales de los 70's (Depeche Mode, Ultravox, OMD, Numan, Sparks, Throbbing Gristle, Gatged...) para la formación e inicio de la escena New Wave/New Romantic (en el uso de géneros electrónicos matrices del EDM alternados con el característico Post Punk) y la base electrónica primaria que adoptarían parcialmente en los 80's la escena Hip Hop/Rap (desligada del Funk Clásico en síntesis con el EDM / Electro). Fan de Kraftwerk y el Progressive Rock Alemán que te ha gustado tergiversar el desarrollo, evolución e historia de la Música Electrónica por más de 40 años...este mensaje es para ti. My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...the father, founder and pioneer of EDM and the Modern Electrónic / The Sound Of The Future. Se acabó la fábula de Kraftwerk 😉

[@kaasmeester5903]

It’s an unbelievable shame that the episode of “Out of the unknown” for which this song was written, is now (apparently) lost to humanity, forever. Thrown out by the Beeb because they needed the space. I know the story on which that episode was based, and having heard this song (and seen other episodes of that series) I would dearly have loved to see that one episode.

[@Cheeseitz42]

what story was it?

I like Die Antwoord well enough but sampling Derbyshire isn't exactly novel, The Timelords/JAMs/KLF had a #1 hit with her back in 1988. Timbaland, Gangstarr and RJD2 have all sampled Perrey and/or Kingsley to good effect and there was that whole album of Pierre Henry remixes. Early electronic music has been done, my advice if you're fond of this would be to check out the Residents Mark of the Mole and Intermission albums, they've probably been mined too but might be cheaper.
