Doctor Who sounds from Radiophonic Workshop archive now available

Posted Filed under

In collaboration with BBC Studios, Spitfire Audio will offer BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s historical collection of music and sound from Doctor Who.

Spitfire offers a sampling of sounds from the Doctor Who theme to the sound the TARDIS makes when it materializes to the voice of the Daleks.

The archive is now publicly available for the very first time to fans, musical artists and producers.

“For 40 years, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop was the place to go for the sound of the impossible – the unruly engine behind the music and effects of Doctor Who, the Goon Show, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and countless other BBC productions. It was a place of other worlds, and of other sounds. Reanimating this abundant legacy, the essence of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop is now available for the first time – with unprecedented access to its home: London’s Maida Vale studios.”

“Dive into an immaculately sampled collection of vintage synthesisers, tape loops, iconic archives and brand new performances from Workshop members. Revitalised with Spitfire’s SOLAR engine, this library passes the torch from the most forward-thinking minds of early electronic music on to the next generation of producers.”

An introductory offer, ending 17 March, will allow access to the archive on Spitfire Audio for £119/$159.
