Sonicstate just gets things spot on. I used to buy the Barry Gray records and they have a special place in my vinyl collection. Between Barry Gray & those strange puppets, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop & Dr Who, it was inevitable that I would become a sythesiser fanatic. Thank you guys for bringing this to us, I live toooo far away to attend such events so really appreciate this sort of thing.
Barry Gray was brilliant. His sound track for Doppleganger was world class and Space:1999's music was superb.
This is just brilliant, thank you :) as they say "anything can happen in the next half hour" - see what I did there ;)
Very nice stuff. Thank you very much Sonic State, Gaz and Andy👍👍👍
An absolute delight guys
Love Gerry Anderson and Barry Gray, thanks so much for this ;)
Brilliant feature.. loved it.. utterly fascinating, well put together and executed
Tremendous. I have Barry gray on an iTunes playlist. From four feather falls onwards. Tremendous. A must listen folks. Some fabulous early stuff. 😀😀😀😄😄 thanks for sharing this.
This was certainly a welcome video and audio experience
Fantastic. The two instruments profiled were completely unknown to me and fascinating. Thanks for this.
This vid and the Beeb programme is FAB, not least because of Charles Hazlewood. His was not a name I had heard of until he appeared once or twice in another Beeb documentary, The Joy of ABBA, in which his enthusiasm for the group - and a couple of songs in particular - shone. So I went and plugged his name into youtube, and 3rd on the list is this vid where it turns out he's also a huge Thunderbirds fan, and a fan of Barry Gray and the music that helped make Gerry Anderson's creation.
Never was my gob so smacked nor my flabber so ghasted. My sincere thanks to the OP and to the BBC for doing this, and especially to Mr. Hazlewood (any relation to Ronnie?).
Excellent work ladsat Sonicstate. Another fine job Gazza!
What a treat!!!!!! Thank you Gaz and Sonicstate!
Why did I not know about this show? I'm so close to Bristol I would have loved to have seen it.
What an amazing concert that was. I spent the whole performance with a huge grin on my face as childhood flashbacks came flooding back. Amazing musicianship, kitsch and glorious and I loved meeting Jarvis in the bar afterwards - happy days :)
Such a bonus to get to watch your little film and hear more about the Ondes Martenot and Swarmatron - thank you! x
Wow! It's shows how much inventiveness was going on in these to shows back then.
Excellent video Gazz! A real treat to see the workings of the Odnes Martinot and see Jarvis sing 'Marina.'
The Silicates creature effect from the film " Island of Terror " I think was played by the Ondes Martenot .I am trying to work it out with the VST plugin .It has the tones but exactly how it is implemented is a challenge .Many good and interesting sounds from the instrument .
Another fantastic video Gaz. I can listen to Adrian talk about electronic instruments 24/7
This gig is being broadcast on BBC Radio 6 Music at 20:00 on the 27th of March in Stuart Maconie's "Freak Zone," which is a terrific programme for unusual music, if you've not listened before.
This is the best thing I've seen in forever.
Brilliant and fascinating video, hat doffs to all involved.
One of the best sonic state videos that I can recall. Great job guys. Gaz was great. Is there video of the entire show on YT?
Outstanding. Wish I could have been there.
This video is fantastic!!!
Great video, very interesting. Jarvis Cocker and Adrian Utley are among my favourite musicians.
Being a massive Anderson fan I loved this seeing what the legend Barry Gray used to create some of my favourite tv soundtracks. At around 13:00 I was getting 70s Doctor Who Sea Devils feels.
Fantastic video, thanks Sonicstate!
that was incredible.
I wanna watch the whole concert now... :(
+Sequentonal BBC 6 music broadcasted it a few days ago
Great job Gaz, very enjoyable.
Fantastic! Thank you!
I always wondered how those sounds were made...now I know! Great film.
Awesome from the beginning to the end !!
Brilliant. Thanks Gaz!!!
Outstanding!!! thank you very much:))
I'd love to see a full video of this concert. Will it be available at some point?
Brilliant video, thanks to Gaz, Andy & sonicstate for posting this. Great to see Barry Gray's work getting some recognition.
I've never heard of these shows before.... those puppets are kind of terrifying :) This video was great regardless of my ignorance.
mind blowing great stuff
That was wonderful!
12:42 - That's not a swarm of bees, that's the wailing of the damned.
there's a swarm osc module in Oscillot by Max For Cats (Software Modular System) which sounds very similar
+Pranav Raykar OSCiLLOT is absolutely fantastic!
Aww brilliant love it
That rocking keyboard is amazing, such a good idea.
sounds so bloody good
I would've loved to have seen this show in person!
This is the voice of the mysterons
A great video (1) of an awesome Concert (2) dedicated to the music of a relatively unknown Genius (3). Tripletitious!
The Ondes Martinot seems to be a cross between a theremin and a piano. I'd love to try playing one!
Stunning instruments.
These where the programs that were re-run during the early 80s sporadically on bbc 2 when I was a kid, I never seemed to be able to catch a full episode, the music was either brash or enchanting with weird chiselled puppets. I knew I wanted to watch them though, unfortunately only the music stood the test of time.
Is this show/material available in full for purchase?
"This is the twist" from fireball xl5 is sooooo cool!!!
Used to great effect in Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie.
Gaz!! I heard some of this on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone, love it!
does anyone have more info on the guitar amps at 6:25 -ish?
Maybe someone like UVI can sample the Ondes Martenot. Paired with a Role Seaboard RISE you could get the vibrato and ribbon functionality. That's about as close as most of us will get to this fantastic instrument.
That combination is a fantastic idea. That would be absolutely amazing.
+Markus Arike There is a fantastic sampled Ondes Martenot by Soniccouture.
omahahnful I should have known. But you are right, the Soniccouture library does sound really good. Thanks for the tip.
anybody knows what tune it is at 17:06?
Proper good, isn't it? Did you find out?
Great video 👍
Very nice Gaz!
The Swarmatron is possibly the only instrument ever that could make the orchestral swell of 'A Day in the Life'..
Brilliant!
Awesome!
So interesting!
Anyone remember Phil Cool's version of Marina?
Where can we see the show?! Online, video, radio?? Must see! :D
+Charlie Wallace Assuming you're in the UK, it's on BBC Radio 6 this Sunday (the 27th) at 8pm.
Thanks!!!
Bravo!
Double awesome.
Dude could be a voice actor for a new TinTin series
At 17.30 is very Jimmi Tenor
Cool!
Something different for a change, nice one guys..
The swarm beckons me..........
There's a modern take on at least part of the Ondes Martenot called the Therevox, currently being made by a Canadian company:
ruclips.net/video/VjlZZI07Cww/видео.html
"Inspired by the Ondes Martenot (1928) and the Electro-Theremin (1950), the ET-4 is controlled by moving a finger along a reference keyboard shaped to provide tactile feedback. Dual pressure sensitive intensity keys control the amplitude of the ET-4's two independent analog oscillators. "
therevox.com/products/
Why not let us hear the instrument playing before you start yapping?
"It's very playable, It's hard to play it in the right key".

soundtrack in a box
17:08 :o
The least you could do was ask the workers to sit still and shut up for ten minutes(perhaps Germans or Russians would have understood by themselves) From this we understand how polite and intelligent today’s English are.
1st!!!
Great video Gaz and Sonicstate Team :) Special instrument :)
