Electrophon
– A Journey Through Radiophonica.
What is it?
A charity compilation of various artists to celebrate the work of Delia Derbyshire and other electronic pioneers. 13 artists have submitted tracks – see the list and listen below.
The charity:
The artists have agreed that the supported charity will be Delia Derbyshire Day. Profits will go to them once the label has recouped costs.
The cover:
The cover has been produced by our very own nf.orange and is an homage to the original 1968 BBC Radiophonic album. A back cover, CD label and further promotional images will be created. St James Infirmary has already produced the image below.
Details:
The album will have a CD release via Wormhole World in late early May. A press release/pack will be issued prior to this to magazines, blogs etc with the hope of gathering some media coverage.
The artists:
Each artist has created a track using 60/70’s sounds as a starting point. They include both covers, classical pieces and original works. This has given us 13 tracks with a wide variety of styles and sounds that fit together really well. A nice tribute – you can hear them below.
The lead single will be “Metro Musix” by Elizabeth Joan Kelly.
