This is my music video project for my Film Literature and Recording Arts class. The song was recorded in the 1960s by John Baker of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop using modified natural and electronic sounds. For more information about this futuristic, yet retro kind of music, search for "The Alchemists of Sound." Basically, the musician John Baker recorded every sound on reel-to-reel tape, made the tape player go too fast or too slow to get all of the right notes, and put it all together in a song! This genre of music is most widely known for the original Doctor Who theme song by Delia Derbyshire and Ron Grainer. The style of video editing was inspired by famous YouTuber MysteryGuitarMan. My teacher is requiring me to post my video online to see that I know how to export and properly compress video for online viewing.
The people in this video are me, my classmates Josh (bottle), Myron (guitar), and my then girlfriend Kayla (flute). My sister Lilly's head also appears in some of the flute notes - she was peeking from behind the stairs.

  • fuck sake who sampled this aha

  • The Boys And Girls piece may be the one by Delia Derbyshire used as the closing music in delia-derbyshire . net/#OFatWhiteWoman

    (sorry, you need to unite the above address - U2b won't let me post something with a URL in it)

  • Thanks a lot for uploading this - I remember the tune well from the 1970s when BBC Cymru had a daytime slot on BBC 1 or 2 in England, introduced by this music, generally followed by Pobl y Cwm. As Welsh exiles in Norfolk it was nice to see, though I doubt there were many viewers!

  • remember this well while visiting my auntie in Wales in the early seventies- they had another track as well, based on "boys and girls come out to play" don tknow what i was called though!

    Thanks for posting!
