rephlex release the bbc radiophonic workshop

Rephlex are releasing a 4 x 10 inch vinyl set of works by
the bbc radiophonic workshop just in time for Christmas.!

The 4 x ten inch vinyl version we are releasing features the
members’ work given roughly a side per member – except
Delia Derbyshire – perhaps the most celebrated of all the
members who gets a whole record to herself for the first
time ever.

It brings together tracks from the recently released
radiophonic 1 and 2 cd's .

Promos for this release will be very scarce as the record
itself will be limited - and the tracks are avaliable on the
forementioned cd's.


However the music on the release has been extremley
important and influential to the history of British music
and popular culture.

The composers on the release are among the first people to
take avant guarde principals and techniques and create music


that reached and fascinated millions via television and
radio.

There has been a great deal of interest in the radiophonic
workshop recently and especially one of it's greatest
composers Delia Derbyshire from last years "Blue Veil's and
Golden sands" play on radio 4 to the recent documentary on
the organisation. The brilliance of the music on this
release makes it obvious why.


also 2 dates for your diaries :

Phobiazero: Where did you hear about this? I would like to
know more and see if I can get hold o f a copy of it.

I work in the department that once was the BBC Radiophonic
Workshop. I got there after it was shut down, but I work
with people who did know it as it was. There seems to be
lots of history that has been disgaurded and lost.

The composers that worked there never got the credit that
they deserved. So I am very pleased to see this release on
rephlex of all labels.

Bob Mcbob: No Dr Who. Delia Derbyshire composed that.

Jaysuz Jones: no Stockhausen, Carlos or Glass. They are
great contemporary composers who had nothing to do with the
workshop. The workshop consisted of people such as Delia
Derbyshire, John Baker, David Cain and a few others, who you
have most likley never heard of becasue their music was only
rarely released other than as tv program backing music. They
also tended to release under the joint name of "BBC
radiophonic workshop" rather than their original names.

well music from oscilators and tape loops is electronic
music!

pre computers though.

they had tape loops running down corridors and across
multiple machines.
they had lots of machines running in sync.
They did everything they could to play with sampled sounds,
in the same "Music Concrete" style as IRCAM and GRM in
France.
But their music always ended up sounding a bit different.
Usually very spooky, and characterised old tv sci-fi and
also Schools programs.

I dont think its the first time their music has been
released in recent times though. Im pretty sure that there
is already one cd released. Not sure who by though.

watched a BBC FOUR documentary on the BBC Radiophonic
Workshop, fantastic!

Oh and BoC definitely imitate some of those spooky sounds.

What label are the CDs on?
I don't have a record player here. I'll buy it on Rephlex
anyway though, coz I love 'em to bits!

I couldn't find the CDs at amazon.co.uk,
where can you order them?

They only have the Dr. Who theme renditions which are more
modern, actually composed by someone who graduated from
Keele University.

Nacmat: This release will be. But it's already on CD really
so I suppose there's no point in doing it again. Shame.

nac....They were a good of musicians/technicians employed by
the BBC to create sound effects & theme tunes....

All done with tape, very very early synths etc....

A MAJOR influence on UK techno...

Check out my blog for a few choice links to articles about
the same (I do sometimes wonder if Rephlex are mind-readers
you know...)...

G3RM....

If you get a chance, and seeing as the BBC are going to make
all their stuff OPEN in very near future, then the
documentary is priceless viewing...

If I can I'll see if I can a get a DivX or
something...(there may well be one out their anyway seeing
how relevant the program was to IDM/Electronic music
fans...)...

BTW THE BBC RW is just a little akin to the Film Boards of
Canada .... similar sort of setup (...I'm not talking the
band here, just where they got their name from...)...

The saddest thing I found is how with the introduction of
the Moog, the whole place seemed to become lost
artistically...

I guess limitations are one of the keys to great art...(we
only need think of the very early AFX stuff to release the
truth in this...)...

hehe...I getting all arty-farty now...:)...

It's already in their charter, earth....All their output is
avaiable already, but if you have to visit them, or write
away...

This recent development is just making use of the BB and
recent tech....

We all own the BBC already...and I'm no great fan of the UK
but this is surely one thing we've got to be proud of....

Fuck Murdoch...this is how media should operate....

you mean people are forced to pay for a product that they
may not necessarily want? i think its a cheap, evil,
outdated, suppressing, fascist way of the government being
able to control the media. heil jand.
