When Digital And Midi Where Not Even Thought Of.
A few months ago i came across a film on youtube all about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. For those of you who dont know who the BBC Radiophonic Workshop is then watch this film. (i have only added part one so go to youtube to see the rest of them). if you think about it if there had been no BBC Radiophonic Workshop we wouldn’t have the Dr Who theme, Tomorrows World theme and many more theme tunes for television and radio.
Alchemy of sound video. There is only part one here, go to youtube to watch the rest.
A tune by Delia Derbyshire. This is one of my favorites by her. its called Here Come The Fleas. This tune was recorded in 1969 under the name of White Noise. But really it was the BBC Radiophonic Workshop try to be a band. This tune is mainly made up of samples of tape loops and early synths. Also ignore the video as its bad but listen to the tune.
Here is the Tomorrows World Intro from the 80′s . Listen for the Vocoder it rocks.
