	🥁 6:03pm david w: Be well, Sem!
	6:05pm northguineahills: I have this Xenakis album!
	6:06pm northguineahills: I picked the wrong week to stop drinking..... just when 2020 is over, is pulls you back in...
	🥁 6:06pm david w: ngh! Yes, it's great. The last 10 minutes are hallucinatory!
	🥁 6:07pm david w: Well, maybe both the xenakis and the year!
	6:12pm northguineahills: (I'm not selling my Xenakis records, too precious). Seeing Xenakis pieces realized live was a revelatory experience. (String works).
	6:15pm Caterina Verde: Toggle, toggle, Ruth. Hello David!
	🥁 6:15pm david w: Hello, Caterina!
	6:16pm ruth: Hey CatV!
	🥁 6:18pm chresti: Hi David, ruth and Ridgewoodians!
	6:19pm northguineahills: ruth in the house (as per usual, keeping the sound/lights on).
	🥁 6:19pm david w: And.... chresti!
	6:23pm Webhamster Henry: These sirens are ... calming.
	🥁 6:24pm david w: Even the sirens are scored very precisely, and this group is super faithful and super skilled.
	6:27pm northguineahills: The siren section reminds me of Russolo's shows w/ intonarumori or some of Satie's later more radical pieces...
	🥁 6:32pm listener james from westwood: Delia!
	6:32pm spodiodi: Delia <3
	🥁 6:33pm listener james from westwood: Hoping the Sisters with Transistors documentary comes out sometime this year.
	🥁 6:33pm listener james from westwood: No subsequent version of this theme has topped the original.
	6:34pm Ike: Hi there. Ah, this was once my favorite show. It ran from 1963 to 1989, then in 1996, then from 2005 to the present. Too bad it's currently being burnt to the ground by a terrible writer/showrunner, but it'll recover someday....
	6:34pm spodiodi: it's about perfect, james
	6:34pm northguineahills: I used to have a Delia Derbyshire poster. I made the mistake of pissing off my partner when she moved in, and she ripped my posters to shreds.
	🥁 6:35pm david w: Ike! james! spodi! ngh! I love that you know this stuff!
	6:36pm northguineahills: Researching Delia made me a Who Head (Although I've only seen all of the episodes from the late 70s forward [they get more and more wonky before then])
	6:38pm northguineahills: @Ike: I agree: The last two Drs. and cast were great actors, but, the showrunner/writers have made just above average.
	🥁 6:39pm listener james from westwood: For some reason I want to say one of our voices here is actually DD's, if only bc it sounds like her in that one film of her demo'ing her gear.
	6:39pm spodiodi: David, i love that you're playing her stuff (so welcome today)
	6:40pm Ike: @NGH, I'd say Tom Baker's first three years (seasons 12-14, so 1975-77 or so) are the best of the classic era, when there was a producer who kept it gothic and creepy, and usually had enough restraint not to blow through the tiny effects budget in absurd ways. I think a lot of those 70s eps are free on Dailymotion (shhhh).
	6:40pm Webhamster Henry: The "Bad trip" portion of the show.
	6:40pm spodiodi: Tom BAker was it. the rest are meh
	6:41pm Webhamster Henry: Tom Baker also made an excellent Puddleglum.
	6:42pm StringOFperils: He had great scarves.
	🥁 6:42pm listener james from westwood: Had they made a Lord of the Rings film in the early 80s, he'd have been a capital Tom Bombadil. And I ordinarily hate Tom Bombadil.
	6:42pm northguineahills: Well, there was the dream tracks in Ashley's Private Parts...(also creepy, in a different way), but beautiful as well....
	6:42pm spodiodi: my gf (when i was 18) knitted me a looooong scarf because she knew how much i loved Dr. (Tom Baker) Who's scarf
	6:42pm spodiodi: cheers, SOp
	6:43pm StringOFperils: Hey Spod! Pass the sonic screwdriver, I need to adjust my outlook.
	🥁 6:43pm david w: A little dark, but brilliant. There are 5 or 6 other sections. All amazing.
	6:44pm Ike: @NGH@6:38, Peter Capaldi had some great ones. It was very very inconsistent, but that showrunner, Moffat, at least tried to knock it out of the park, and sometimes succeeded. The current showrunner is just so incredibly boring and flat. The characters are complete cardboard. The Doctor is barely a presence. That poor lady deserves a chance to show her stuff. She's getting nothing.
	6:44pm Webhamster Henry: My kids enjpyed the Who Experience in Cardiff.
	🥁 6:46pm listener james from westwood: Proof that publicly funded art can be immortal. All hail that era's BBC.
	🥁 6:47pm listener james from westwood: (Or at least the part that kept the Workshop alive like some odd radio version of Fox Mulder's basement FBI office.)
	6:48pm northguineahills: Well, there was the dream tracks in Ashley's Private Parts...(also creepy, in a different way), but beautiful as well....
	🥁 6:48pm david w: Amen. And speaking of Ashley, early WNET Channel 13 in New York.
	6:50pm Ike: For those who have never seen Doctor Who, check out the Tom Baker serial "The Ark in Space" from 1975. The show had a miserably tiny special effects budget, so they make creative use of bubble wrap painted green in that one. It actually kinda works. Might be on Dailymotion.
	6:51pm spodiodi: hail! (per james)
	🥁 6:51pm david w: And after this... 7-10pm EST: Bodega Pop Live with Gary Sullivan: Three Lives: The Dark Nightingale of Egypt. Jamaica's first woman at the control. A Zamrock pioneer. 10-midnite: If You Lose Your Horse with Sam Segal
	6:52pm Webhamster Henry: The stream keeps giving the drummer some.
	6:52pm Ike: It utilizes a few of the same ideas as "Alien"... but it was four years before "Alien".
	🥁 6:53pm david w: Yes Ike! And thanks all for today. I needed friends!
	6:54pm Ike: Thanks! Also, what a lineup! Wed. evenings on GTDR are awesome! Hey y'all, definitely check out If You Lose Your Horse because if you haven't lost your horse, maybe you should.
	6:55pm northguineahills: soooper thanks, david and ruth....
	6:55pm Jeff g. via app: Didn’t know that about Hassel! :(
	🥁 6:55pm listener james from westwood: Early WNET was a wild blessing. Amazing how that thrived given the means, and sometimes despite straitened means.
	🥁 6:56pm listener james from westwood: Danke, David and Ruth!!
	6:56pm ruth: Thanks Ike and everybody for spending this strangest of days here with us. See you next time.
	6:56pm spodiodi: thanks, David! thanks, Ruth!
	6:56pm spodiodi: excellent
	🥁 6:56pm listener james from westwood: (And the occasional diversion from live to studio is never a bad thing!)
	6:57pm spodiodi: i love this song too <3
	🥁 6:57pm WR: thank you David! Onward.
	🥁 6:57pm chresti: Thanks David and ruth! My favorite DD!
	6:57pm Gary: Another great show!
	6:58pm spodiodi: i love this one too, chresti
	🥁 6:58pm david w: Everybody take care and thanks again!

A trippy journey from Deux Filles to Iannis Xenakis to Delia Derbyshire.
Drop in, drop out, drop expectations. Image: Alex Grey.

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments
Deux Filles	Double Happiness "Double Happiness" by "Deux Filles"	Double Happiness	Papier Maché	1983	Credited as Claudine Coule and Gemini Forque, the duo was actually Simon Fisher Turner, former child star/teen idol and future soundtrack composer, and partner Colin Lloyd Tucker from south London.

Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Todd Barton, & Rachelle Rahmé	Concert Recording	Roulette Concert Series	Roulette Archive	12 Jan. 2020	Excerpts from an evening of solo and group works with Lowe – voice and modular synthesizer; Barton – Buchla Music Easel; and Rahmé – processed voice and electronics, reading from her sci-fi novel, Superveillance.

Iannis Xenakis	Persephassa for Six Percussionists	Xenakis Percussion Works	Mode	2006	Composed 1969. Performed by Red Fish Blue Fish, the ensemble led by Steve Schick, recorded at UCSD.

Delia Derbyshire & Ron Grainer	Doctor Who Theme	Doctor Who - The 50th Anniversary Collection	Silva Screen	2014	Used 1963-69 for the British sci-fi TV series. While Grainer composed the basic melody, Derbyshire produced the track. Grainer attempted to secure co-writing credit for Derbyshire, but due to rules in place at the time this was not allowed. Instead, The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, of which Derbyshire was an associate, was credited.
Delia Derbyshire & Barry Bermange	The Dreams (Running)	Inventions For Radio: The Dreams	Psychic Sounds	2016	Produced in 1964 for The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, poet Bernange’s collection of dream testimonials montaged by composer Derbyshire. With degrees in mathematics and music, Derbyshire (1937-2001) pioneered magnetic tape and oscillator manipulation techniques.
Jon Hassell	Alchemistry "Alchemistry" by "Jon Hassell"	The Living City	All Saints	2014	Featuring composer Hassell’s ubiquitous processed trumpet.

Delia Derbyshire	Ziwzih Ziwzih OO-OO-OO	BBC Radiophonic Music	BBC Records	1971	Theme for an episode of "Out of the Unknown" based on Isaac Asimov's short story “Reason” in which automata rebel against humans and worship God in an energy converter. The voices are reversed but actually say "Praise to the Master/His Wisdom and His Reason/Praise to the Master/Forever and OO-OO-OO-OO/His Wis.../His Wis..."
Music behind DJ:	"Bye, thanks, and best for 2021!"				Bye, thanks, and best for 2021!
