Hymns for Robots

  • Charles Craggs

In a small house’s loft, packed in hundreds of cereal boxes, lies the life’s work of Delia Derbyshire-the unsung genius behind the Doctor Who theme tune and trail blazer of electronic music. Join Noctium as they explore this unique tale of the mother of modern music. Using strange sounds and weird wobbulations, Noctium brings you a sonic experience your ears won’t believe. Hymns for Robots mixes Noctium’s unique heightened performance style of drama, comedy and Expressionism with the explorative use of analogue and digital music creation. Audiences will be treated to an abstract audio landscape as they visit Delia’s childhood in the blitz through to her death in 2001. Check out some of the music from the show, written by myself, here: https://soundcloud.com/user-641274848/sets/hymns-for-robots Check out Noctium's website here: https://www.noctiumtheatre.org
