oh i love this. 'what sex are you' - i'm
surprised they didnt have
'Male' and 'Other' for that one too.....
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
