WOW!!!!... Did anyone just see that programme about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop on BBC4 ?....fucking wonderful prog; just finished (I would have posted earlier but couldn't drag myself away)... The other half got a bit annoyed with me as I was naming everyone on-screen as they appeared...I couldn't help myself; these people played such a HUGE contribution to our music, yet seldom get the props they deserve... They even devoted some sadly overdue time to Delia Derbyshire, a true pioneer, & considering the times, a feminist icon for us nerd kids... If I can I'll get a tape...(was surrpised not to see AFX or AE paying their dues tho....without the workshop, I suspect we'd live in a very different audio culture..)... |

Well, seeing as the BBC are about to open up their archives so everything is available via the Net - fingers crossed this'll be on online soon.... I'm pretty sure someone in P2P land will have taped/DivXed it...if anyone spots it, let us all know, yeah... |

Wendy Carlos was (well, it was when she was Walter) but no Kraftwerk at all... In fact, it was odd that no-one comtemporary was on there at all...Hardly modern but StockHausen got a mention (altho they called him Shockhausen, which made me giggle...)... Musique Concrete got a mention, but again really just a passing mention & no talk of IRCAM...I guess it was only an hour long which wasn't time enough to really get too deep into their wider place in history...(I SOOO wish it was a series rather than a one off...)... |

No idea on timescales...I believe much has been digitised over the last few years, but the BBC is not exactly fast-moving so it's gonna be years :( before we see real results from this project... Still, it's pukka they are actually doing it...the UK is shite but the BBC is one thing we have to be proud of.... BBC4 do repeat a lot, & often reshow their progs on BBC2 so let's hope this makes it onto there soon.... |

I used to scratch with that! the lazer gun shot thing is amazing! really tight attack with plenty of decay to get all silly with. |

There's also a great 3 Volume comp of RW stuff... On my old machine tho, so can't recall title at moment, but SS should have it... |

Yeah, it was the space sounds section that I finally learnt to crab on :D It's really good, my dad got it for me (l20p in library ex catalogue clear out sale) in my early teens when I made games in Klik and Play and he thought I could use it for sfx. It largely got neglected till I dug it out about 2 years ago :) Earthleakage: You're not wrong! |
