The BBC Radiophonic Workshop Workshop

Sunday Mayhem 25: 7PM-9PM
Hosted by Surfer Rosa.

As the first institution to bring early electronic music out of the academic avant gaurd and into the ears of the public, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop has been delighting the airwaves with a mix of homemade, squiggly electronic sounds since 1958. We will explore the early history of the workshop from its beginnings to about 1970. This special will feature early compositions, sound effects and theme songs produced by the work shop as well as highlighting works and histories from some of its most prominent composers such as Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson. Also featured will be pieces composed with the Workshop's homemade electronic instruments such as the Wobbulator and the Oramics graphically controlled synthesizer. Tune in and feast your ears on the mother-ship of bleeps and bloops. Hosted by Surfer Rosa, Sunday May 25th 7-10pm.
