An uplifting meeting of minds, style and subject
26 May 2021
What an inspired and inspiring film. Catz and her team brilliantly bring to life the oddities and wonders of Delia Derbyshire's beautiful, rebellious, determined, ever-searching creative mind. This is such an uplifting film - one that not only honours its subject well but does so by drawing its visual and sonic inspiration from this remarkable and, until recently, overlooked composer (and yes, sometimes troubled 'de-composer'.) It makes me want to make music again. And noise. Our human need for and affinity with organised sound (isn't that what music really is?) filled my living room with light from my TV screen. And I was only smoking plain English tobacco with a few mugs of English tea. A good end to a good day and maybe even the first bubble-clouds of new sounds forming in my head like familiar, unfamiliar smoke. Thank you so much, Delia, Cosey and Ms. Catz. I'm now in love with all three of you. And very high.
