The log-frequency-axis [[spectrograms]] used here are my own work and unique to the wikidelia.
Here is all of Delia's music and effects that I have managed to recover so far, in as close as I know to the order in which she created them.


If you are studying a piece of Delia's music for which I haven't done the spectrogram yet, you can [mailto:delia.derbyshire.net@gmail.com write] and I'll do it next.
The software used to produce the graphics here was written specially for the WikiDelia and is described on the page [[Spectrograms]].

Here is all of Delia's music and effects that I have managed to recover so far, in as close as I know to the order in which she created them.
