Doctor Who Theme: The Finale

TV Movie

"For the made-for-TV movie in 1996, composer John Debney did the incidental music and arranged Ron Grainer's theme. Unlike all other versions, Debney's arrangement begins with a building introduction (to coincide with the on-screen narration setting up the tale), before opening with the Middle 8. [...] The familiar bassline was somewhat muted in its melody and did not drive the theme the way it did in previous arrangements."

Before The Flood

"A one-off modification to the theme was made in Before the Flood, with the Doctor playing his electric guitar over the normal theme tune."

I’ve posted about Delia Derbyshire many moons ago and I just came across this presentation from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop that originally aired in 1965.  The Doctor Who theme was composed by Ron Grainer but he had only made a basic outline of the song. Grainer then handed it over to Derbyshire (who he stated deserved co-composer credit for her arrangement but Derbyshire was a “workshop assistant” and the BBC kept assistant contributions anonymous so Derbyshire’s contribution went unnoted). Derbyshire had to record thousands of electronic sounds onto tapes (this was prior to the use of computers and synthesizers), adjusting each individual note and then splicing those notes together to craft a melody. She didn’t know it at the time but she was creating not only the sound of Doctor Who but a style of music that would become synonymous with science fiction.  You can listen to the original theme here. While you’re listening, think about the hundreds of hours of labor that went into producing this iconic and enduring music.  (Oh, I basically cribbed the above info from here to properly give credit where it’s due) (Oh 2, here’s a list of ‘10 Female Electronic Music Pioneers You Should Know’ which notes that Derbyshire’s Doctor Who theme was “astonishingly ahead-of-its-time” and “one of the first entirely electronic pieces of music to be used on TV anywhere.”

Happy Birthday ♉️ to and remembering Delia Derbyshire "the unsung heroine of British electronic music" (May 5, 1937- July 3, 2001) R.I.P. 🖤🥀💔 She is a legend and a pioneer in the field of electronic music. At a young age in school she demonstrated an affinity for the potential of every day objects to create music and distinctive sounds. She who came from an upper working class family, won a scholarship to study mathematics and she was accepted at both Cambridge and Oxford when only one in 10 were female students. She became more fascinated with electronic music when she paid a visit to the Brussels World’s Fair in 1958 where she experienced Edgard Varèse's Poème Électronique installed in Le Corbusier's pavilion. This was a groundbreaking fusion of electronic music, architecture and visual art and would have a deep influence on her. She graduated from Cambridge in 1959 with a BA in mathematics and music. After Cambridge, she got turned down at Decca Records for just being a woman. After attempting several jobs, she eventually landed a job at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in April of 1962 which was cofounded in 1958 by another amazing female electronic music pioneer named Daphne Oram. They mostly recorded experimental audio effects, tape manipulation and synthesizers (soundscapes) in the same style of music composition as Musique Concrète. Delia’s most notable work there from that era was helping arrange the theme music for the sci-fi television series called Doctor Who which was composed by Ron Grainer. This was one of the first television theme music to be produced with entirely electronic equipment in 1963. She collaborated with fellow worker Brian Hodgson and EMS founder Peter Zenovieff and created the organization Unit Delta Plus in 1966 to promote their electronic music. Later in 1968 with the addition of David Vorhaus, they formed White Noise. She is included in a relatively recent 2020 documentary called Sisters With Transistors which is about female electronic music pioneers who remain relatively unknown. She has influenced many great artists, namely one of my favorites Cosey Fanni Tutti… 🖤⚡️🎹⚡️🤍 🎹 🎹 🎹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdLsshaLo8O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“the more you listen to the original who theme, the better it sounds, and the more you read about the meticulous process that went into assembling it, the more the legend of the who theme gains in stature: which is why i wanted nothing to do with it. but then, in october 2004, the first episode of the new series was on my desk with delia derbyshire’s original recording of the ron grainer classic playing over the end credits. and it didn’t feel right. it just didn’t seem to suit the ebullient clatter and chaos of ‘rose’. i added string lines, a booming horn and some clatter and chaos of my own, and it stuck.” - murray gold (series 1 and 2 soundtrack music notes)

Doctor Who Theme: Round 1

Seasons 1-4

"Although Ron Grainer has always received sole credit for the theme music, Delia Derbyshire with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop was responsible for all the arrangements for Seasons 1 through 17. She was given the composition by Grainer and asked to create the music. The method she chose was to create each sound from scratch using a variety of methods from pure tones to piano strings. Each sound was then changed in pitch and duration using purely analogue equipment. The final arrangement of the theme was made by making a recording of each section (bass line, melody, etc.) and putting them together to form the final mono track."

Seasons 4-17

"With Patrick Troughton now playing the Second Doctor in Season 4, came a new title sequence and another request for Derbyshire to change the arrangement of the music. This arrangement would be used for by far the longest. She returned to the first arrangement and added what has been called a "spangle" sound effect. Again, this arrangement was just faded out as needed for the opening title sequence. This third arrangement formed the basic theme from mid-Season 4 through Season 17, although [...] there were some modifications."

June Ritchie and Alan Bates in A Kind of Loving (John Schlesinger, 1962) Cast: Alan Bates, June Ritchie, Thora Hird, Bert Palmer, Pat Keen, James Bolam, Jack Smethurst, Gwen Nelson, John Ronane, David Mahlowe, Patsy Rowlands. Screenplay: Willis Hall, Keith Waterhouse, based on a novel by Stan Barstow. Cinematography: Denys N. Coop. Art direction: Ray Simm. Film editing: Roger Cherrill. Music: Ron Grainer. What we call "the Fifties" -- including the sexual naïveté and conformity to societal norms -- lasted well into the 1960s, as John Schlesinger's first feature film, A Kind of Loving, demonstrates. It also features Alan Bates in his first starring role as Vic Brown, a young man who lets his hormones and adherence to the values of his working-class family and dreary factory town trap him into a marriage to Ingrid Rothwell, a young woman he quickly falls out of love with. Bates is still a bit green as a film actor -- he hasn't yet developed the sexy bravura that would make him a star in films like Philippe de Broca's King of Hearts (1966), Ken Russell's Women in Love (1969), Joseph Losey's The Go-Between (1971), or Paul Mazursky's An Unmarried Woman (1968) -- but he gives a convincing performance. June Ritchie, who plays the tempting but essentially innocent Ingrid in what was also her debut film, never made it as a big star in an era dominated by the likes of Julie Christie, Vanessa Redgrave, and Glenda Jackson. The film's villain is Thora Hird as Ingrid's sour, shrewish, widowed mother, who dooms whatever chances the marriage had. The film is a bit slow to start -- it spends too much time on establishing Vic's family and work milieu before settling down to the business of the ill-fated relationship of Vic and Ingrid -- and it's less successful in its portrayal of the postwar British working class than such films as Karel Reisz's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960) and Tony Richardson's The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962).

Babis Moulakakis is an Athens based guitarist, vocalist, songwriter. He sometimes writes poems and draws imaginary maps sharing it with friends.

Sparn Dame is his new band project with the companionship of talented lunatics, Kostis Stergiou and Kostantis Kοnios. 

His previous band was the Bow (also played in other bands in the past)

So trusted the muse along the way, some post punk, alt 90's, prog 70's stuff and things like that can be found in their debut album Bitter Cherry.

So, what for? Cause a little leak can sink a ship and ennui possible, trying to discover things the moment they come automatically with a sense of universality

Sparn Dame is fascinated by the diversity of musical directions and genres and chaos that can ensue. Let her breath, let her sink in!
