Richard Coles tells the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop's extraordinary story.
In 1958 an extraordinary musical laboratory opened at the BBC. It was called the Radiophonic Workshop and provided music and sound for a wealth of BBC programmes, from The Goons to Dr Who.
With contributions from Coldcut, Dick Mills and Mark Ayres, Richard Coles explores the achievements of the unit and presents a carefully chosen selection of programmes showcasing the department's work:
The Dreams (05/01/1964)The Goons (02/02/1959)Inferno Revisited (17/04/1983)Relativity (1974)Electric Tunesmiths (30/12/1971)Bath Time (1976)

Student builds Daphne Oram’s unfinished ‘Mini-Oramics’
― Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 14:10 (seven years ago) link
that's fantastic
wish I were in london for this one:
http://www.lcorchestra.co.uk/events/deepminimalism/
In June the LCO will open the Southbank Centre’s DEEP∞MINIMALISM festival with a world premiere of Daphe Oram’s groundbreaking work Still Point.
The piece is brought to life by the LCO and composer Shiva Feshareki, who performs on turntables an electronic manipulation of the recorded orchestra, in duet with the live orchestra. Oram’s ambitious work of 1949 predates the work of an entire generation of composers and artists in its radical use of live electronics.

Richard Yeoman-Clark just died as well.
"More sad news reaches us of the passing of another colleague, Richard Yeoman-Clark, who apparently left us on September 16th after a short illness. Richard spent seven years at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, starting in 1971. He (like Dick Mills) was more technician than composer but took to the EMS Synthi 100 like a duck to water, creating many memorable works such as 'Waltz Antipathy' and 'Mysterioso' – the latter created for the first season of Blake’s Seven, perhaps his greatest claim to fame, for which he created all the initial signature sounds before Elizabeth Parker took over part way through season two."
