  • The theme from Doctor Who has always been a favourite of mine. I've recreated it using a mix of the 60s and 80s theme music created by Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire and thrown my own synth flavours in. 🎹👨‍⚕️🎹

      I was drawing inspiration from the 80's version and the original 60's. But then all the synths I used were from the 70's :)

      Well the 60s version was created by recording various tones onto tape and splicing them together. No synths used.
      Peter Howell theme ca1980 ( final Tom Baker season with the updated titles) would have used 70s synths.

      @@spinsterpunk most of the theme composers credited Ron Grainer for the music that’s why the BBC never issue out remix stem packs for the Doctor Who theme I asked Simon Gurney the synch and licensing manager there and he said that the multitrack of the Howell theme even though Howell made the F# version of the theme, it’s up to Mark Ayres the Archivist to allow me to use such material even though some bits got leaked online which I managed to get hold of recently, it’s amazing that I can isolate many layers of the Howell theme thanks to the 5.1 the stems are mixed in the 5,1 you can cancel out ‘phase’ certain layers of the 5,1 so you can hear the melodies with less bass it’s very cool!

    I think Tom Baker has a nice theme with a good aggressive bass. My favorite doctor. Its amazing that these English people made such an amazing tune. Delia came up with the wild sounds, and Ron whacked down the notes and his name :) Still I have heard out there some really nice version, with some well done samples on top.
