HarleyLive Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 We are very, very happy to announce that the wonderful Eccentronic Research Council will play Queens Social Club on Fri 18th Jan. http://theeccentronicresearchcouncil.tumblr.com/ The show will be in association with Delia Derbyshire Day 2013, a celebration of the life and work of BBC Radiophonic Workshop wizard Delia Derbyshire. http://deliaderbyshireday.wordpress.com/ The night will also feature a screening of Delia documentary The Delian Mode plus performances by three electronic artists influenced by her work. http://thedelianmode.com/ The oddball electronic project of actor Maxine Peake, Kings Have Longs Arms' Adrian Flanagan and I Monster's Dean Honer, The Eccentronic Research Council will perform the 1612 Underture, their tribute to the Pendle Witches.

Delia Derbyshire Day 2013 will be the first of its kind. It will be a day to celebrate and highlight the fascinating work of Delia Derbyshire (1937-2001), the pioneering electronic music composer who worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and is most famous for realising the original Dr Who theme in 1963. The night will feature a screening of the award-winning documentary The Delian Mode with the Canadian film director Kara Blake introducing the film in person. The event will be the premiere of the three new commissions by Ailís Ní Ríain, Caro C and Naomi Kashiwagi, with live visual accompaniment by Kara Blake. It will also feature three new music-based commissions by Delia Darlings - a female trio of Manchester based artists working in music and sound paying sonic homage to Delia Derbyshire having spent time with her archives at the University of Manchester. Delia Darlings are Ailís Ní Ríain (contemporary classical), Caro C (was caro snatch - experimental electronic) and Naomi Kashiwagi (gramophonica).
