I’ve been a big fan of the Dr. Who theme song for a long time, but for whatever reason, I had no idea who Delia Derbyshire was until recently.

Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

Delia worked for the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop, which produced sound effects for BBC shows. While they did not write the composition for the Doctor Who theme, they were responsible for realizing it. Umm, with no musical instruments.

Outstanding.
