The Alchemists of Sound (Part 2)

[SoSayethTheMan]

Great show ...the attempt a being artsy with the old bugger in the background was a silly idea though.

[SWERVNKOLIDE]

tv

[wissmann]

Hi can someone tell who' s behind?! really...

[Laury79]

0:11 Wasn't Delia just so far ahead of her time? its not surprising her work was influential to later electronic music composers. Orbital to name but one group.

[djsize7]

The guy behind was idea from Adrian musician of Portishead... they like this freaky characters in their videos ;-D ...and Delia is the Grand Grand mother of MONIKA KRUSE!

ROSS PLAYING KEYBOARDS

[Jesuselpacifo]

2:56 He's upside down!

[Jesuselpacifo]

What I don't understand is why he's always well light. It's as if they put him in on purpose to be creepy!

[TWORable]

06:35 for one second you can hear I doser "doses"(which i personally consider be bullshit by effect by i listen to it as awesoem Drone Ambient )

[themirrorsofmymind]

Delia Derbyshire's own voice is as captivating as her music!

[UncleFeedle]

Interesting to think that the workshop was doing this stuff some twenty years before Ben Burtt began his ground-breaking sound effects work for for Star Wars.

[baldeeee]

pioneers of IDM

[mecasohoy]

nice sounds nice sounds!

[newwave808]

Aphex Twin would be the perfect creepy ghost guy for this!

[mpresev]

it sounds like an Autechre track l.o.l.

[TashkentFox]

What is Bill Bailey doing in the background?

[sirvidia]

frustrated they couldn't be more serious about the subject

[FrankHammond1906]

my dream job!

[theswampland]

Job of my dreams!.

[shinymoonbeans]

the subliminal guy runs throughout along with a clock at a few minites before eight in every shot. everybody go 'ohhhhhhhhhhh'

[harryshand]

no shit

[logosfails]

this documentary is amazing. The compositions are awesome and what's with the guy and the clock looming about?

[framayx]

That guy in the background (see 1.40) is the ghost of Jerry Garcia... ehm, probably...

[gezrith]

That subliminal guy is amazing, shows these people had some wicked character. Does anyone know who he is? I presume he had something to do with the alchemists of sound

[mikee1mollisch]

. . . the guy in the background, might have been just

annoying if he appeared only once. as it is, he CLEARLY

needs to get a life - a personality - a hobby & if possible

a friend or two !! good grief man . . .

[MeinErsterFilm]

never have heard of Delia Derbyshire before. strange to see a woman of that age talking about that kind of innovative technical things, isn't it? great.

[theinnernerd]

Hey man, this was 1960s Britain! She was a mathematician as well as musician, which explains how intelligently she approached the subject. Science RULES!

[clivetemple]

The Hartnoll Brothers (Orbital) are huge fans of her work. She was a true pioneer.

[kopfkunst]

Hallo "MeinErsterFilm",

try to get the LP or CD of WHITE NOISE entitled "An electric storm". Delia Derbyshire was a member of that project.

They produced outstanding music more than 40 years ago, in the pre-synthesizer-time. Partly sounds like sixties-pop, but is much more than that... check it out

[MeinErsterFilm]

Danke für den Tipp! Habe ich mir gleich bestellt. Großartig!

[kopfkunst]

Hallo "MeinErsterFilm",

freut mich, dass ich Dir den Tipp geben konnte. White Noise entstand in der ausklingenden Beatmusik-Aera... da war das ein echtes Juwel für Feinschmecker.

Obwohl Mastermind David Vorhaus später noch andere White Noise Produktionen gemacht hat, ist "An electric storm" ein Meilenstein geblieben.

ENJOY !

[TheEyeOfJustice]

@kopfkunst is totally correct. anybody with any interest in thiis stuff should listen to the white noise album. The apothesis of radiophonic methodology.

[doctorwhonico]

She made the Doctor Who theme !

[thebadguychico]

is john baker the first house producer?

[jasonr123guitar]

Forget the guy in the background. These people were innovators! Cool stuff (even cooler job!)

[dojokonojo]

The guy in the back ground looks like my physiology teacher...

[skalkmusix]

that dude scared the shit out of me...i havent noticed him..and after a few secs i suddenly saw him...grrrr

cold blood...LOLLLLLL

[cpi23]

That creepy ghost guy in the background!!! AGGGH what the hell?

[ThermalHD]

@cpi23 Its a guy playing moog, the inventor of the synthesizer. He peaks out cus back then they didnt have it. And he is like, "i know what it is and will have it, and you wont" yet.. Pointing nose kinda guy this moog :D

[DalekSupreme52]

What's that goon doing in the background?

[guacanagari]

I hate him. It's so egocentric

[alistermbouvart]

That's England. F*ckin proper weirdos.

[stog33]

Anyone notice the reel to reel player between 2:45 and 2:50?

LOL

[warlockuk]

I think that's 'cos they had tape playing through the machine and as soon as it runs out on the source spool the reel on the other side will go the other way (as it pulls to keep the tape tension up in the opposite direction of the spool doing the driving, so to speak)

[lysergicwindow]

2 minutes to 8 O'Clock??? Any significance...

[beartard1]

1958?
