Back from the Fourth Dimension Paddy Kingsland
Back From The Fourth Dimension Paddy Kingsland Posted: April 22, 2014 robinthefog.com/2014/04/22/back-from-the-fourth-dimension-paddy-kingsland/ As promised, following last week’s report for BBC World Service, here is the first of four interviews with the veterans of the Radiophonic Workshop, the ‘Godfathers of British Electronic Music’, now reformed and touring their collection of vintage analogue equipment and classic radiophonic works to rapturous reception. They’ll be featured in the order I interviewed them two weeks ago at the University of Chichester, so we’re starting with synthesiser legend Paddy Kingsland; the man who definitely put the ‘funk’ into radiophonics. Best known for The Fourth Dimension LP (essentially a Kingsland solo album), he has a string of classic BBC themes to his name, as well as providing incidental music for such classics as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Dr. Who and many more. Paddy has also recorded solo albums, made library music and jingles for KPM and worked alongside composers such as Michael Nyman. His signature sound is melodic synthesiser workouts with a strong rhythmic back-bone and the track ‘Vespucci’ is a highlight of their revived set-list. This interview, slightly truncated here, took place in the artist’s green room at Chichester University; with moderate interruptions from the air conditioning... ! PK: I worked at the Radiophonic Workshop for the BBC between 1970 and 1981, which is quite a long time ago now. Of course I’ve done quite a lot of other things since then, but more recently I was approached by some other friends who worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and was asked if I‘d be interested in doing some gigs with them – some live events. -
'A Very Long Shadow' – Roger Limb
‘A Very Long Shadow’ – Roger Limb !Posted: April 28, 2014 | Author: Robin The Fog | Continuing with my interviews from the alumni of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, we move on to genius composer Roger Limb. Part of what I suppose we could call the department’s ‘second wave’, he joined the workshop at the dawn of it’s synthesiser era in 1973 and worked as one of its principal producers and composers for over two decades, creating a huge body of signature tunes for television and radio drama that will almost certainly be familiar to anyone growing up in the UK over the past thirty years. Perhaps best known for his substantial contributions to Doctor Who during the eighties, he also recorded and produced many of the songs for the cult BBC Schools programme Look And Read, including the famous ‘Magic E’ song that became the subject of much rather tiresome postmodern chuckling in subsequent years: ! A respected pop and jazz musician outside of the workshop, Limb has now rejoined his friends and former colleagues as part of a revamped Radiophonic Workshop band and will be touring the festival circuit with them over the summer. This interview took place during a rather brief interval in a long day of discussions and performances at Chichester University. Despite being pushed for time, however, Roger’s additional years as a voiceover artist and continuity announcer for the BBC meant that he had no trouble putting his points across quickly and succinctly! ! ! RL: I think the Radiophonic Workshop has a sort of legacy, [because] even though it closed down 15 years ago, there’s a whole generation of people for whom the phrase ‘Radiophonic Workshop’ has some sort of mystical quality. -

It must be discreet, unnoticeable in most places, and complement the storyline, whilst having an individual character and adding to the atmosphere of what’s on screen. Try turning the sound down on a horror movie and without the music, the acting becomes nonsensical, even comical. Dominic Glynn had written the music for my first story, Dragonfire, and for the much misunderstood and now at last appreciated story, The Happiness Patrol, but I think he really excels himself in Survival. His great skill is electronic sound and he was a true 80’s master of the genre, but what really stands out are the brilliantly played jangling guitar riffs reminiscent of Dire Straits, the drum beats, the atonal synth keyboard and the sparse downright weird atmosphere he creates. -

Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who
Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who by Emilie Hurst A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Emilie Hurst ii Abstract This thesis explores the intersections between repetition, leitmotif and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in the context the BBC television series Doctor Who (1963-1989; 2005- ). Deleuze proposes that instead of the return of the same, repetition, by its constant insertion in a new temporal context can produce difference as part of the process of the eternal return. He also rejects the concepts of being in favour of becoming. I argue his framework on repetition allows us to broaden the definition of the leitmotif and embrace the role of repetition. I analyse the leitmotif of three characters: Amy Pond, River Song, and the Doctor. In all three instances, the leitmotifs are an active participant in the process of becoming while, simultaneously, undergoing their own becoming. For River, the leitmotif also works as a territorializing refrain, while for the Doctor, use of leitmotif paradoxically gives the impression of being. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisors Alexis Luko and James Deaville for providing me with guidance along the way, as well as Paul Théberge who stepped in the final month to help me re- organize my thoughts. The input of all three helped insure that what follows is a much more cohesive, better organized final product. I would also like to thank graduate supervisors Anna Hoefnagels, and examiners Jesse Stewart and André Loiselle all of whom went out of their way to assure I completed my defense on time. -

Gold-En Music: the New Series of Doctor Who by Robin Lapasha January 2006 (Copyright © L
Gold-en Music: the New Series of Doctor Who by Robin LaPasha January 2006 (Copyright © L. Robin C. LaPasha. All Rights Reserved.) When Doctor Who returned to television, the BBC advertised the show with a particularly punchy trailer including a fireball special effect, and Christopher Eccleston saying of the new series: “It’s not quiet, it’s not safe, and it’s not calm.” The same can be said for the music by Murray Gold. It’s not quiet; the music is not occasional or ‘incidental’—it’s an integral layer. Melody and dialogue happen at the same time. It’s not safe; there are over 30 identifiable musical motifs in the first 13 episodes. Half of the motifs are used in more than one episode, and most actively support story arcs. You can’t create that many pieces of musical composition over 10 hours of broadcast and get them all completely right. There are a few missteps. It’s not calm; the styles used stretch from Euro-technopop to opera, Philip Glass to Latin dance. It’s not the same as the old Doctor Who music, and it is wonderful. Scoring Who There are four types of music presented in Doctor Who in its 21st century incarnation. The first is the overall series theme, functionally the same as its initial creation in 1963. The general frame of the theme as devised by Ron Grainer, Delia Darbyshire, and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop is so recognizable by people all over the world—including many who have never watched the show—that there would be no possibility of changing the melody; interpretation is restricted to instrumentation and percussion choices and the resulting mood choices highlighted by each re-mix. -
