It's a blokish magazine, it's true. At least it doesn't have the 
soft-core porn of every other magazine aimed at men these days...

Women do sometimes feature in the magazine as performers, but rarely 
(if ever) as producers or engineers. I did suggest interviewing Wendy 
Carlos once (Switched on Bach, Clockwork Orange soundtrack), but it 
wasn't taken up. I don't know if she counts though, as she was born 
Walter Carlos and did her famous work while still living as a man.

I would have liked to interview Delia Derbyshire (she did the original 
Doctor Who theme for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, using tape loops) 
but unfortunately she died a few years ago, largely forgotten. At 
least there has now been a BBC Radio 4 play about her life, written 
by Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3 I think.   

Cheers

Daniel
