In this 1965 film from the BBC archive, science programme Tomorrow’s World delves into the work of the pioneering sound engineers including Delia Derbyshire as they demonstrate how they generated music from a plethora of electronic sounds and effects.

The New Radiophonic Workshop builds on the legacy of its predecessor, but instead of being confined to rooms full of equipment in Maida Vale studios in London, the new unit will instead be a virtual institution, an online portal and forum for discussion around the challenges of creating new sounds, and bringing together music composition and software design.

The Sound of Analogue Electronic Music in 1979

A clip of David Vorhaus working in his studio in 1979. Vorhaus was also part of White Noise with Delia Derbyshire. This clip contains interesting dialogue about his sequencer MANIAC. 
Regardless, very cool sounds can be heard as well as spotting some EMS gear.
