Turntable
Cafe pays tribute to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, whose most familiar
contribution to the world was the Dr Who theme, arguably the earliest
and most significant piece of British electronica. But with contributors
like Delia Derbyshire and Glynis Jones, it was also hugely influential
on generations of musicians, from the Pet Shop Boys to Aphex Twin and
Four Tet.
Sonic Boom - formerly of Spacemen 3 and the last person to work with
Delia Derbyshire before she died in 2001 - performs live; there is a
selection of archive footage on the workshop, and Julian House, from the
graphic design company Intro provides images and spins records.
Turntable Cafe takes place in the Purcell Room and The Front Room at the
Queen Elizabeth Hall.
