Electronic music thread

A programme on Saturday, R4 Extra about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.



Selected Radiophonic Workshops

In 1958 an extraordinary musical laboratory was opened by the BBC. The Radiophonic Workshop provided music and sound for a wealth of BBC TV and radio programmes - from The Goon Show to Doctor Who.
Richard Coles explores the achievements of the unit and presents a carefully chosen selection of programmes showcasing the department's work:

* THE ELECTRIC TUNESMITHS
What have Doctor Who, New Worlds and Major Bloodnok's stomach in common? A Radiophonics Workshop signature tune.
George Luce finds out how sounds and tunes are conjured out of springs, shampoo bottles and electronic synthesisers. From BBC Radio 4, 1971.

* THE DREAMS
One of Delia Derbyshire's ‘Inventions for Radio’ produced in collaboration with the poet and dramatist Barry Bermange for the BBC Third Programme in 1964.

* THE GOON SHOW Series 9 (14/17) The Scarlet Capsule
Professor Ned Quatermass unravels a mystery around some enigmatic blue serge suits.
Stars Spike Milligan. From the BBC Home Service, 1959.

* INFERNO REVISITED
Peter Howell’s musical play by Peter Howell inspired by Dante's Inferno, with Alec McCowen as the Guide.
The music was realised at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. From BBC Radio 3, 1983
