This upcoming project in which we are studying is on the topic of Radiophonic music and radiophonic sound. By definition, radiophonic sound is sound effects and sound broadcasts designed for live radio broadcast. This brings a myriad of different effects and limitations which often lead to great creativity and new sounds, things we’ve never heard before from this particular sphere of art.
The time radiophonic came into mainstream view during the 60’s with the pioneering work of The BBC Radiophonic workshop with group members such as Delia Derbyshire, David Caine and John Baker working on sounds to be used as standalone radio pieces aired on live BBC Radio and sound effects used in shows like Doctor Who. Their works have inspired electronic musicians to this day. With artists from all kinds of electronic genres citing their works as influences including myself, the Doctor Who soundtracks definitely made an imprint on me as a kid.
