Cain's "War of the Worlds" will terrify your cat, and Baker's "Structures" is an impressive slice of gently unsettling atmospherics.Most of these are provided by Derbyshire, whose work still startles; "Pot Au Feu" is angular robot jazz crammed with incident; "Blue Veils and Golden Sands" is isolationist ambience some 25 years ahead of its time.Based around backwards voices, the tones of the Wobbulator (a modified test tone generator) and riding on a riff that sounds suspiciously like Missy Eliot's "Get Ur Freak On", it sounds like nothing else; insanely catchy yet deeply sinister.An essential album for analogue fetishists and TV theme obsessives, plus a must for anyone vaguely interested in the origins of contemporary electronica, BBC Radiophonic Music is a fitting testament to one of the UK's most valuable and eccentric institutions.David's terrifying 'War of the Worlds!There was a brief clip of Delia Derbyshire creating a tune from a recording of a lamp shade and a plucked string.Release these documentaries on DVD please?!!Fraser, you can hear the whole thing on the CD 'BBC Radiophonic Music' which is a reissue of a vinyl album of music by Delia Derbyshire, David Cain and John Baker.There's some wonderful stuff on the CD, from the sublime to ridiculous.Anyone who enjoyed the programme will love this compilation.Time Beat when I was very little and suppose it must have filled some time after childrens programmes had finished, for me it was a spooky kind of sound.BBC TWO so that viewers without access to digital TV can see and enjoy it.Can anybody offer an explanation for the chap in the background and the clocks set at two minutes to eight?Alchemists of Sound'was a fascinating documentary.More electronic music can be found (cheaply!BBC Radiophonic music CD.Omission of John Baker's wonderful BBC Cymru music.Alchemists of sound was one of the best things I've seen on Tv in a very long time,it made me realise that chidren's tv in the 70's was quite dark, and probably explains a lot about why I love those primitive electro spooky type sounds......During the introduction to "Bleep and Booster" on the absolutely wonderful "Alchemists of Sound" documentary, there is a short burst of music by Dutch electronic composer 'Tom Dissevelt'.Manhattan Research' series of CD's.Alchemists of sound, showed just how serendipity is such a wonderful thing.This was an utterly fascinating television programme,and yes, Doris, I too am baffled by the bearded gentleman and clocks.For anyone fascinated by childrens' 'For Schools...Also recommended is a CD called Natural Born Fillers, for those of us who watched the clock between Prorammes For Schools And Colleges and have tunes nagging at us...Delia's obituary in The Guardian in 2001, which, to her credit, set me off on a sonic journey of discovery into the past and the future at the same time.This is the stuff a generation loves you for.Correct me if I'm wrong!To Tom in Birmingham: the music at the start of the "Bleep and Booster" section is an extract from Milton Babbitt's "Ensembles for Synthesiser", featured in a BBC "Monitor" programme in 1962.Dear John, Thanks for your reply :) I didn't mean the Babbit section, I meant the music after that.I'll put money on the fact that the music playing after M.Babbit's piece is Tom Dissevelt's 'Vibration' from "Electronic Movements" on Phillips from 1962!!Radiophonics the other night, i think it was 'we make also soundhouses'.MIDI and programmed sounds etc.Radiophonic music is simply divine.Limelight in the US, 1960, stereo) and titled 'The Visitor from Inner Space'.Yes, I would love to hear a good copy of John Baker's 'BBC Cymru' version of 'Tros y gareg' ('Over the stone').It's all Hodgson, as he confirmed to us.NOT as you have pointed out by Brian Hodgson.Mr Hodgson has got it wrong!!I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who'd like to hear 'Troes y Garreg' again.Does the BBC still have a recording of this, and would they consider putting a RealAudio file of it on this web site?Probably not, but I can still hope.It has many tracks from John Baker, Delia Derbyshire, David Cain etc.Radiophonic Workshop some while ago (and especially with Delias hypnotic voice and work) and was happy to see the documentary in Leeds while being on UK tour.Actually, I did catch the sound of Dissevelt in between, too, and said to my friend: why is HE in this documentary.Netherlands to visit him and had to learn that he just died few weeks before.Don't know if this ever got to the UK.What puzzled me most about the great documentary was not the bearded guy (of course that's the studio ghost who repairs the equipment over night) but that particular moment when the two reels of the tape machine in the background were turning into different directions each.This fantastic futurist swing crime music of (I guess) David Cain struck me!Hello Felix,
Nice to see you here!BBC radiophonic workshop of course!I've just heard today (15th December) that Malcolm Clarke has died.IIRC the reason why the clock was stuck at 19:58 was that this was the year the Workshop was founded.The Workshop's curator Mark Ayres has recently been quoted as saying, "...Each is a piece of musical history.Each was in a sorry state, one way or another.You could see where the cut backs bit hardest.Most of the music leaves me "cold".Ps I'm still p****d that John Baker's Cymru music wasn't on either of the 2 recent radiophonic CD's.So that's what it's called.BBC (bless 'em) departments describing a piece of "Electronic" music played just before the Welsh speaking lunchtime programme on BBC1 or BBC2 during the early to mid seventies, no one had bloody heard of it!!!!!!!!Either that or the master tape may have been skipped!Email me if you got any information.BBC2 and that i know (i don't watch 'enough' telly!It inspired me to invest in a few old synths and get a tape machine so I can play with tape loops.THAT WAS USED ON A SHORT FILM OF AN INTERCITY TRAIN GOING FROM LONDON TO BRIGHTON?IN THREE MINUTES,USING SPEEDED UP FILM.FELT SURE AT THE TIME IT WAS BY THE RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP,21 YEARS LATER I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD IT AGAIN OR BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT!!Personal note: I happened upon Delia Derbyshire's site yesterday during a web research session in which I wanted to satisfy my curiosity about Dr.How strange to feel a sense of loss about someone who was no longer alive when I discovered her...Booster theme + 3 other tracks.My first hearing of this form of music was the music ident for BBC Radio Leicester which began broadcasting in 1967.The ident mimicked the morse code letters supposedly for Leicester.Thanks for any anticipated help.John Baker in the sixties as part of his group playing Jazz in the local clubs of Essex.This was during his early days with the BBC.Can anybody tell me the circumstances relating to his death.The final piece of music used in the "alchemists of sound" programme, played as you watched the edited tape run past the heads of the tape machine, was another piece of BBC Cymru lunchtime music, but I've never been able to find out What it was called.Anyone know where I could hear this again?I'd love to hear them all.Yes I listened to it and I played it on a radio program and the "ALien Love Song" One of the feew things I would pay for a whole album to have ...Can anyone help me find BBC Radiophonic Music written as a background to a travelogue through Tibet.It was called " The Sushi Lau Pass".So fat I have found bits and bobs over the internet but want to know more.Does anyone know where this is still available?You can still get this Lp (on CD now).Really set the benchmark for quality here.Opened my eyes to some events that were more instrumental in the development of modern electronic music and sampling than anything else i can think of.Doctor Who' theme and also wrote the music for the cult series 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.Radiophonic catalogue and discography really deserves a C.BBC4, the Radiophonic Workshop documentary.BBC Radiophonic Workshop soundtrack for the the 1987 BBC science documentary, Life Story" or as it is known here in the U.They composed various pieces of music throughout the film.Disclaimer: The BBC will put up as many of your reviews as possible but we cannot guarantee that all emails will be published.The BBC reserves the right to edit reviews that are published.Tracklists on BBC Music reviews are supplied by MusicBrainz.If you spot any errors or omissions in this list you can edit BBC Radiophonic Music at MusicBrainz.Looking for an artist or an album?Get some tips on how to use BBC Search, and some other useful BBC sites. |
