About this product
Product Information
Special Sound traces the fascinating creation and legacy of the BBC's electronic music studio, the Radiophonic Workshop, in the context of other studios in Europe and America. The BBC built a studio to provide its own avant-garde dramatic productions with experimental sounds neither music nor sound effect. Quickly, however, a popular kind of electronic music emerged in the form of quirky jingles, signature tunes such as Doctor Who, and incidental music for hundreds of programs. These influential sounds and styles, heard by millions of listeners over decades of operation on television and radio, have served as a primary inspiration for the use of electronic instruments in popular music.Using in-depth research in the studio's archives and papers, this book tells the history of the many engineers, composers, directors, and producers behind the studio to trace the shifting perception towards electronic music in Britain. Combining historical discussion of the people and instruments in the workshop with analysis of specific works, Louis Niebur creates a new model for understanding how the Radiophonic Workshop fits into the larger history of electronic music.

Book arrived ahead of time, well packaged, and is exactly as described. The vendor gets 5 stars for communication because a photo of the copyright page was included in original listing, which saved me the effort of asking which edition it is. Good purchase experience all round.

Item as described. Poor packaging (a thin bubble envelope) for a book sent from UK to Australia with postage charge of GBP 22.29, just blind luck that it arrived relatively unscathed.

Thanks for your feedback. As this was an international order I used Ebay's Global Shipping Service. I personally charge £2.95 for all postage within the UK, no matter the size of the package. However as this was an international order you would have had to pay the Global Shipping Service charges on top. I try to wrap my items carefully and usually I get positive comments about my packaging. I'm glad your item arrived safely and thank you very much for your custom.
