Suzy Mangion & Katie Mason

location: Gisland

A short film inspired by the Cumbrian village where Delia lived for a few years in the 1970s after leaving the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

“As a composer Delia Derbyshire had a rare gift of never imagining the obvious. She was able to take musical sounds in unexpected directions, without fuss or pretension, imagining whole musical worlds in miniature.” – Suzy Mangion

“Delia Derbyshire’s methods of creating sounds are a constant inspiration to me. She took the ordinary and experimented with its potential to become something extraordinary.“ – Katie Mason

MT Hall & Lacey Liang

Hybrid Ecologies: between sky and soil

“Delia’s work shows how we can grow and lean into the fullness of our imagination and with that, its power.” – MT Hall

“I was particularly inspired by Delia’s working notes from her years working in the BBC. Her collaborating method was very structural, very meticulous.“ – Lacey Liang
