The Alchemists of Sound

"ALCHEMISTS OF SOUND
Saturday 28 May 2005 8.30pm-9.30pm; 3.15am-4.15am

"The BBC's Radiophonic Workshop was set up in 1958, born out of a desire to create 'new kinds of sounds'. Alchemists of Sound looks at this creative group from its inception, through its golden age when it was supplying music and effects for cult classics like Doctor Who, Blake's Seven and Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and charts its fading away in 1995 when, due to budget cuts, it was no longer able to survive.

There are interviews with composers from the Workshop, as well as musicians and writers who have been inspired by the output. Great archive footage of the Workshop and its machinery is accompanied by excerpts of the, now cult, TV programmes that featured these sounds."

Update via BariaBlog in the comments:

"oh my god! what we do as youths comes back to haunt us doesn't it!

Jason and I were doing this stuff inthe early eighties and believe it or not we are still at it - across oceans and time we still have a mad desire to make a racket.

Watch out for invasion of the fat traingle players in future - the other half of the spaceship!"

Fat Controller Driving a Monowave

Click here for a demo of the Frostwave Fat Controller driving a Modulus Electronics Monowave. The track is Sequence 1. A Virus Indigo provides textures and a Multimoog provides lead. Via Seth Elgart on AH.

Analogue Jeff

Title link takes you to JeffreyKoepper.com, home of Analogue Jeff's website. I've seen Analog Jeff on AH a number of times, and I've been meaning to check out his site for some time but haven't gotten around to it. You'll find a nice set of synth pics and some samples of his work. Hey, where's the cat?! : )

"Very cool synth based on the chip from the original arcade game Space Invaders. You can control the parameters via the Tandy joystick."
