Podcast-Empfehlung: Nach der Idee des Studio d'Essai in Paris und dem Studio für Elektronische Musik in Köln startete die BBC in den späten 1950ern den Radiophonic Workshop, um Elektronik mit Musik zu verbinden. Bekanntest Produktion dürfte die Sound- und Musikwelt der BBC-Serie Dr. Who sein. Bei Twenty Thousand Hertz gibt es eine schöne Podcastfolge über die Entstehung und das Wirken des BBC Radiophonic Workshop, enjoy: https://www.20k.org/episodes/doctor-who #podcast #bbc #radiophonicworkshop #synthesizer

TIL that the 'Daleks In Colour' mix of the Delia Derbyshire Doctor Who theme has the Pertwee title sequence in the spectrogram.

I suspect that Daphne insisted on only the best (despite BBC budgets). LOL
This wider view looks like the earliest incarnation of the #RadioPhonicWorkshop (which makes sense since it's on the BBC's website.)

There's just something about this track from 'The Daleks'. It reminds me of nightmares I had as a child.
