A good idea that popped up in another thread. Killed a few hours.

Some History on the Original:
The original 1963 recording of the Doctor Who theme music is widely regarded as a significant and innovative piece of electronic music, recorded well before the availability of commercial synthesizers. Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop used musique concrète techniques to realize a score written by composer Ron Grainer. Each and every note was individually created by cutting, splicing, speeding up and slowing down segments of analogue tape containing recordings of a single plucked string, white noise, and the simple harmonic waveforms of test-tone oscillators which were used for calibrating equipment and rooms, not creating music. The swooping melody and pulsating bass rhythm was created by manually adjusting the pitch of oscillator banks to a carefully-timed pattern. The rhythmic hissing sounds, "bubbles" and "clouds", were created by cutting tape recordings of filtered white noise.

that video is great, is that an old studer A80 16 track?. I love it when he says whats this old piece of gear referring to the phaser, when it all looks ancient now. Polyphonic! plays 8 notes at a time, wow!!! There is something cool about this tho as they were using their imagination and actually playing it real time. Enjoyed your heavy rendition by the way, it'd be great with real drums but I appreciate it was thrown down as a bit of fun.
 
I really like your version, but I'm not sure if I want to pass it onto my friends who are DIE HARD Dr Who fans..

They might kill themselves!
 
HA HA brilliant.

HI everyone BTW I'm a singer, done some mixing in the past etc.

My name is Dan, I've been lurking for quite some time. I normally hang around the Nevermore forum.


I really like alot of the mixes you've all done around here.
 
Cool version, brings back memories of watching the show (Tom Baker version) with my dad way back when

The Dalek at the end was a nice touch
