The Radiophonic Workshop
Posted: April 19th, 2009 | Author: Sermad | Filed under: Music | View Comments
The Radiophonic Workshop were pioneeers of electronic music but you probably have never heard of them or ever even seen one of their records – but you certainly have heard their music. The insane sonic assault that is the Dr Who theme tune was brought to life by one of their team – Delia Derbyshire.
Some of the surviving members of the workshop – Peter Howell – Paddy Kingsland – Roger Limb – Dick Mills – Mark Ayres – are coming together for a special gig as part of the Short Circuit festival at the Roundhouse in London.
The Radiophonic Workshop get together again to explore Radiophonics past, present, and future. Old and new innovative electronica for a large arena combines with live performance and multimedia projections. An event not to be missed.
The BBC Radiophonic Workshop was founded in 1958, and closed its doors 40 years later. Throughout its life, and since its closure, it has been enormously influential on generations of musicians, with the names of composers such as Delia Derbyshire, John Baker, Brian Hodgson, Dick Mills, Paddy Kingsland and Peter Howell taking on almost legendary status.
