“[[Peter Zinovieff]] had his first official contact with the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]] on October 28, 1964, when he was given a tour of the Workshop's facilities in his capacity as a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation employee.”<ref>[[Special Sound]], p.131</ref>

From 1966 to 1967, Delia and [[Brian Hodgson]] moonlighted from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop to work with him as [[Unit Delta Plus]].

On 15th January 1968, she can be seen helping him set off his ''Partita for Unattended Computer''<ref name=RedBull/> as part of a concert of electronic music including her own piece [[Pot Pourri]] at the Royal Festival Hall.

It was Delia who introduced him to [[Alan Sutcliffe]]<ref>[http://sciencemuseumdiscovery.com/blogs/insight/back-to-the-future-of-electronic-music/ ''Back to the future of electronic music''], an article in the Science Museum blog, 6th September 2011</ref>, who subsequently joined him as part of his later [[Electronic Music Studio]].
