- This is a sound collage poem by Delia Derbyshire, from the 5-piece suite "The Dreams" (1964), composed in collaboration with Barry Bermange, who recorded the "dream narations" later spliced and collaged in accordance to a theme: "Running", "Falling", "Land", "Sea" and "Colour".

I'm listening to this after 24 hours without sleep and with a big storm outside my open window.
Everything seems unreal.
Ungern Von Sternberg fuck thats tight
how are you these days, sir?
i would love to meet u
add some shrooms to the mix and it will all become oh so real
Such an intense moment you had to pause and write a comment on a RUclips video
So glad Delia could pave the way for the likes of Aphex Twin etc. Love using real sounds to paint a picture.
It's not that people like Delia are ahead of their time. It's that they create the trajectory the culture takes once they've introduced their work.
THX
+ManInTheBigHat but STILL, it's ahead of her time! lol
+ManInTheBigHat Bloody good point!
+ManInTheBigHat By saying "ahead of its time" is what you said, but without the explanation.
+SilverAphelion Not exactly. It suggest that things were going that way anyway.
It's so hypnotic and calming that my parrot fell asleep in my hand. Maybe because this voice remembers him mine.
this is so fantastically hypnotic and calming.
Chillingly desolate music. I remember hearing this on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on 6 Music - transfixed by the kitchen radio on a Sunday night. Jesus, it gave me the creeps, but in the best possible way. Which is why I'm back here to listen to it again!
It's funny just how unforgettable this is: I heard this at least 6 years ago and I just had to find it again.
So here I am on my very first RUclips channel that I haven't been on since forever.
Thank you for keeping your channel up and this wonderfully haunting video up after all this time.
Recently been learning about synthesizers in college, and part of it was about Delia Derbyshire. It's impossible to believe that she was doing this way back in the fuckin 60s!! The vibe of the music must've blown people's minds during the time she was making music, and you can tell that she is probably one of the most inspirational artists of all time whether people realise it or not. Listen to some Delia tracks, then go listen to stuff like 'Burial - Pirates', 'Breakage - The 9th Hand', 'Loefah - Root', 'Photek - UFO', 'Source Direct - Exit 9', 'Digital - Ras 78' as well as a tonne of others and you see the connection
+Charl D. Source She did not have the major label prospects and somehow I think she didn't want them. She was aware she was creating something new. It is NOT impossible that she did this in the 60's. Have you ever heard of psychedelia?
Nic Lawson you're taking this way too literally
too new for that .it merely discombobulated them
would you explain to me what these so called ‘synthesizers’ are? I’m very interested. what is it supposed to be. some type of obscure music or a soundtrack for film?
I had an auto accident when I was 17....spun into a ravine.The distention of time felt like this. This freaks me the fuck out. I love it.
I’m sure even in the 60s most people thought of Delia as a wierd maverick. It’s great that she just followed her dreamy journey and produced such timeless genius
This was recorded in the latter weeks of 62 and was first broadcast on New Years' Day 1963, on a weekly basis, if I recall, so this episode would have been 8 Jan 1963 - Delia at her very best
guys.... this was made in 1960's.. Mind Blown :O
100% agreed!!!! :O
coming back to this after years of not having listened to it, I remember one moment when I was sitting in my shabby student apartment in 2012 in a bad mood and listening to this and feeling like a deep, infinite pool of blackness was opening up to my emotional world. thinking back to it now, I think that was one of the first moments of my depression becoming really actualised. I wasn't yet aware that it was in fact a symptom of a developing mental illness, but analysing and feeling that memory now, it seems pretty clear that that was what was happening.
realising that gives this piece an even more eerie and disturbing quality than it always had for me. I am truly living in a nightmare. I'm at the same time a little slug trying desperately to scrape by and an undefeated heroine weathering this crippling, crushing adversity. I'm falling, falling, falling
As someone who has struggled on and off with depression, I relate to what you mean about this piece. It is rather unsettling. I do hope things get better for you. (I felt this warranted some sort of proper response, as opposed to just hitting the "like" button.)
I discovered this on an 8tracks playlist called "spray paint and garbage bags" very much makes me thing of Harmony Korine and David Lynch... so brilliant.
can I ask where to find that compilation? super curious... Thx! 🖤
Fascinating atmosphere, the sounds and the different timbres that I love. A great Radio-collage with the obsessions of the great Delia
so Grateful for you posting this ! Its epic ART and should be VERY FAMOUS ..bless our Ltronic soundmama Delia !!!!!!!!!
Incredible. So evocative. I wish I could get just the music alone.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for uploading.
Absolutely stunning. One of the best "music videos" I've ever seen.
wonderful and unsettling
This is how I would visualize and express a BPD episode. This is very close to how it feels.
this is just incredible, beautiful
I will listen to this again at nighttime...
this is the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life
omg, that's beautiful!
This is fantastic!
Wow - this makes perfect sense now, but imagine what people must have thought in 64. Amazing stuff.
Kim Runic you can imagine this must have been responsible for a few acid casualties...
I think very, very few people heard this in 1964.
Very inspirational - This is ART
this is friggin brilliant!
This is great,awesome!
living for this.
The complete Inventions for Radio series by Barry Bermange and Delia Derbyshire is now being officially released by Silva Screen, in a remastered 6-LP box set. I understand it will also be made available on CD format too. The “falling” sequence is part of The Dreams, the first Invention for Radio.
Damn this gives me the chills
mysteriously and meditative
Creepy beyond measure. Thank you.
I want this playing forever inside of my crypt.
fantastic upload,,i really enjoyed it
Probably Delia's greatest work, which is saying something.
it's a long way down
it's a long way down

man I love this
this feels like it goes on forever because it's so subtly unsettling
delightful. or, rather, deliaightful.
Brilliant!
God, this puts me in such a state....
This is the advice u waiting 4, blessed be
This is extremely disconcerting and haunting. A view of the unconscious mind. It makes me think of my own dreams that haunt me.
It definitely has that characteristic along with that piece about the sea, which uses the same "interview" tevhnique with multiple voices describing a certain apocalyptic doom, which at the same time is described in an unreal way. The narrator sounds at a distance as though they both experience the thing and watch the thing happening to them as though a spectator, in a dream like capacity. The dream like factor is emphasised in various ways eg impossible gravity (falling upwards), and talking about a process which sounds like it would cause death but in a disconnected way. Eg the person must have impossibly survived or would otherwise be a ghost, etc. There is a sense of both total powerlessness but also the ability to impossibly influence gravity or avert death. I like it. I think the technique using multiple voices works. It's captivating - they sound convincing, but we know what they describe can't be real, so it's dissonant
Roger Waters used the interview technique for "Dark side..".
That photo!
hexonatapeloop it's the cover of a book. "Close to the knives"
It's David Wojnarowicz's photograph 'Untitled (Buffalo)' (1988) which appears to be a close oblique view of Andreas Joseph Andrews' diorama "Blackfoot Indian Buffalo Drive" (circa 1956-58) originally housed in 'Indian hall' of The United States National Museum.
Sounds like something made for 2001 A Space Odyssey.
am i dreamin?
wwooaaaaahhhhhhh, .. ....that's great!
PERFECT
this is sickkkkkkkk!
This is definitely cursed, but relaxing at the same time...
Timeless .
For real!! Andy showed me via his page... Cheers Andy Jenkinson and Ballacid!!
Fantastic.
I still come back to this. It's brilliant.
Obviously Chris Morris's 'Blue Jam' series was heavily influenced by this sort of work, incredibly influential and prescient.
Of course, you can hear the inspiration in his monologues.
Kelp Forest- Lamprey 🔥👌
soundtrack to my mind
Agreed. Very Blue Jam.
♡♡♡.
GREAT
this girl was soo ahead of her time...
this reminds me alot of Anne Clark : )
*****
why strange? Anne Clark also has spoken poëtic musical works that are weird. "we're all building castles in the sky, dreaming of a better world..." : ) and much more that comes to my mind by listening to this.
It reminds me of my accident...
Beautifully spooky.
I made a pretty creepy movie based around this song on the channel im making this comment from called " Abstractica: Falling From The Dream " if you would like to watch please. I love you. And Rip to the wonderful Delia. Her works are so haunting and beautiful i used a few of her works for my film and honored to have stumbled upon her one day whilst listening across the youtubes.
space and nothingness
space and nothingness
That's it... I've done my last bong for today... oh sod it... not another one... BONG!

I'm from Bangladesh and i performed this at the Dhaka Islamic Electronic music durbar it was a smash hit.
@@descartesdonkey4291 That would be awesome to hear/ watch. Did you have anyone video the performance?
I like ALL different genres of music (I'm in the Guiness book of records because I have the widest taste in music...ever)! I Chuffing love this! DD was a genius!!!

This is 57 years old 😮
I am listening to this outside dressed only in my liberty bodice
No one is ever "ahead of their time". They can however be ahead of "the times".
This is called evolution...
No, it isn't. Evolution purports to happen specifically without intelligence. This takes great intelligence
I give this piece a fez.
This is reminiscent of David Lynch.
She was the producer for the music of the original Doctor Who. Fucking BRILLIANT!
i lose fares while pkaying this at deafening volume driving my cab through North Beach
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Going down, down, down...
Suddenly I'm falling

In the top left hand corner of photo in the rock who else see's the face?

The keyboard was a death nail to electronic music. Hopefully, a ferocious, friendly entity will come along someday and pull it out.
Um, actually electronic music was a death nail to orchestral music 🤓
