Radiophonic Workshop
The inspiration I will be using for the topic of my magazine will be the Radiophonic Workshop.
The BBC Radiophonic Workshop was one of the sound effects
units of the BBC, created in 1958 to produce incidental sounds and new music
for radio and, later, television. The unit is known for its experimental and
pioneering work in electronic music and music technology, as well as its
popular scores for programs such as Doctor Who and Quatermass and the Pit
during the 1950s and '60s.
The original Radiophonic Workshop was based in the BBC's
Maida Vale Studios in Delaware Road, Maida Vale, London. The Workshop was
closed in March 1998, although much of its traditional work had already been
outsourced by 1995. Its members have included Delia Derbyshire, David Cain,
John Baker, Paddy Kingsland, and Glynis Jones.
In May 2009, Dick Mills reunited with former BBC Radiophonic Workshop composers Roger Limb, Paddy Kingsland and Peter Howell with archivist Mark Ayres for a live concert at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London, performing as "The Radiophonic Workshop".
The theme for my Magazine will be a celebration of the work of the Radiophonic Workshop and will include interviews from people who composed some of their work. I decided to have my magazine be on the Radiophonic Workshop due to being familiar with their work and attended one of their live shows in 2013.
