There was an excellent TV program about this last year on BBC 4
Now usually BBC 4 seems to repeat their programs fairly frequently,
but I’ve not seen this one again.
I think I downloaded this one. The file was alchemistsofsound.wmv and
is about 180 megs. About the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Very
entertaining. I though I downloaded right from a BBC web site.
Google turned up a few links. http://fatbaron.com/alchemistsofsound.wmv
A must see. Gave me a new outlook and appreciation for sound/music
creation.

I checked out the link to the BBC documentary on the Radiophonic Workshop. Quite interesting, although because of it’s length (about an hour) I skipped around a bit…
Anybody know the significance of the ghostly apparition-like appearance of the bald/long haired man in the blue shirt that appeared in the background of many of the interviews?
I was wondering about him too. Maybe he was supposed to be Ray Cathode? He put me in mind of Wilf Lunn, an eccentric inventor who used to appear on Vision On (a programme aimed primarily at deaf people) in the seventies. The brass clock was also intriguing - the time always seemed to be around three minutes to eight, for some reason.
