The Alchemists of Sound (Part 5)

I think they used the test-tone oscillators for some of it. They also processed found sounds on magnetic tape. Earlier in the documentary it says that they made some of their own equipment. I know for sure that later they used an EMS VCS3 synthesizer.

The BBC has never really appreciated true talent. Just look at all the archive footage junked over the years!

Good job they kept all the workshop music but why is it so hard to buy, apart from Dr Who? I like Rodger Limb, Delia Derbyshire and Elisabeth Parker. "Ghost on the water" (Limb) is good. I don't think synth music is worse than the old way, just different. I think it would be hard to get the equipment to do what Delia did. Now people like the old analog synth sound and Moog are making new ones!
