      She was writing music for a world that was yet to be, in a time when she wasn't allowed to, or supposed to be, and her understanding of what this new technology could bring to the emotional landscape of music and the listener's experience, over a quantum leap in the time and space in which a "performance" could happen (from hearing it once in a concert, to having a recording of it, to being able to broadcast it, and to music being married to images and beamed into every home on the face of the earth). Her theme is rocketing at the speed of light since the first broadast into the darkness of interstellar space, and has travelled (and is still travelling), in waves with a peridocity of one week, and has travelled 5.506 x 10 (14) km, which means you could pick it up on a tube television at Sirius in 1972, and Alpha Centauri had its debut Dr. Who in mid 1967, and in just under 1500 years, she will begin her missive to the nearest galaxy to ours, Andromeda. The fitting legacy to her work is that there is a timelord who is really travelling the universe, and her name is Delia. Long after the earth is ashes, and the sun goes nova, Delia Darbyshire's work will still be radiating out from the hole in the cosmos where the earth once stood in 1963 and in waves afterward until the broacast towers go dark (in 2012), a halo of sound wider than any of us can fathom, waveforms riding into the fathomless reaches of the placetime the show she wrote it for was trying to imagine, her Gallifrey gone as is his, her life gone (and all those breif lives we share with her gone) but hers was encoded in bits of tape cut up and pasted back together and then turned into electromagnetic waves, or perhaps: Time, and Relative Dimensions in Space. Godspeed Delia.

      That was how all "electronic music" was done. Even Louis and Bebe Baron, who actually built what they described as cybernetic circuits recorded them onto tape and manipulated the tapes in very similar ways. Also I believe the circuits burnt out very quickly so there was no live performances
