Doctor Who Theme | The Definitive 1963 Remaster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Remixed and mastered using HQ stems/layers in GarageBand.
This mix is as faithful and authentic to Delia Derbyshire’s original as I could make it, which didn’t have any white noise swells in the opening.
It rectifies the issues present in Mark Ayres’s 2002 and 2006 remasters, which includes missing swoops and unnecessary stereo effects.
©️TRofDW Remixes and Remasters 2021. Delia Derbyshire, Dick Mills and Ron Grainer of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
My Dad was in his teens when Doctor Who first came out. I asked him recently what his reaction to the music was. He said, "it sounded like the Martians from outer space landing. I'd never heard anything like it." That's a testament to the genius of Delia Derbyshire (and Ron Grainer), who in writing this brilliant piece was well ahead of her time. Yes, they were and still are inspiring 🙂
Ron Grainer composed it but Delia Derbyshire realised it in the bbc radiophonic workshop, first piece of electronic music ever created.
Delia created electronic music as a genre without doctor who we wouldn’t have gotten the 80s we all know
@@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978Nope. Ron realized it and this wasn’t the first piece of electronic music created
@@mattfox4549That’s all false, we still would’ve gotten the 80s as we know today without Doctor Who
Nah Ron was ahead of his time and he wrote this piece
This is what a Dalek's nightmare sounds like.
hahahaha
That actually makes sense
"Admit it, You've all had this exact nightmare."
THE DOCTOR HAS ENTERED OUR DREEEAAAAAAAMS!!!
@@Wrenchy247DALEKS DO NOT DREAM!
DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTROY!
I read that when Derbyshire first played her arrangement for Grainer, he said "Did I write that?" And she replied "some of it."
Doctor Who simply coming on screen with music so ahead of it's time was a total statement of power, cementing its legacy immediately
ORIGINAL AND BEST!
Delia sculpted Ron’s score into a piece of timeless musical art. ❤
Nope. Ron sculpted the score
@@firestrikerii810 Source:trust me bro
Every, and I mean EVERY other source including all the official release credits by the BBC themselves state: Composed by Ron Grainer, Realized by Delia Derbyshire".
This is what the theme sounded like to amazed audiences back in the 60s! Your restorations give a new life to the theme! I love this so much man!
Wouldn't it have been low quality? It's restored to good quality, but TV audio wasn't good back then.
This was released as a single on Decca on 14 February 1964. The sound quality on that’s very good.
@@WedgePee the tv version and record released version were slightly different 'takes'
wow this is pretty accurate to the 1963 version
AND EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE THAT IT WAS IN GARAGEBAND
Dude... it literally uses the REAL stems lmao
@@everettrailfan It uses tape and is manipulated, Its Electro Accousitic.
@@Connor_Att No I'm referring to how he made the remaster. I know how the original was made, but this remaster was done.
@@everettrailfan not the real ones, good isolations. the real stems have not gotten into the hands of the public. howell's stems on the other hand..😢😢
I remember as a young child in the early 60s being terrified by the theme tune!
It’s got a certain eeriness to it
This is my second favorite version of the Doctor Who theme after the Troughton-Pertwee-Tom Baker theme. Both versions have a very haunting quality to them courtesy of Delia Derbyshire's otherworldly genius.
Wow this is how I remember it. I was but 17 when I first heard it. A bit fuzzier and furrier than this. We watched the series on our 625 TVs, it had been "Telerecorded" from the 405 line system so the image quality was questionable - the stories great and the theme amazing. Dunno why the theme has been played with over the years, the original was the best.
i mean times change, the show, which is all about change, has to change its main theme as well
this sounds exactly like the original...
outstanding remaster!
You nailed it very well, how do I know I was there in 1963, well done.
The original Derbyshire mix is my favourite hands down... and you've really cleaned it up nicely. Beautiful
This in my own opinion is the very best version of the Dr Who TV theme & will always will be so. & I really don't care if others disagree with me.
Loved this when I was younger especially the daleks.
big W from Delia Derbyshire
I heard this on TV for the first time in 1965 (age 3), it was the first music (and video) ever that blew my mind and was a major influence on my music tastes age 9+.
Nice remaster. Just in time for the 60th.
I'll likely do another 60's mix for the 60th.
Excellent and Beautifully Memorable and Extraordinarily Unforgettable Doctor Who Theme From 1963!! 😊🤗🙏🌎💗💙💖💐💐💗💯💯💯
Amazing!
Great theme.
Still send's chills down your spine...Thank you Delia Derbyshire
Beautiful! Great video 👍
That bass line is so grimy....it's perfect.
I had a look at a clip from An Unearthly Child with this music and it's so creepy.
Oh boy it's the original master tapes and the reel to reels!
It is?
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 Something along those lines.
Take me back to Saturday nights during the 60s/70s when Dr who was always on in my house it was part of my childhood growing up. 2:22
The first one is a classic, timeless and ahead of its time. Still sounds as if it’s coming from the future
Think I already asked this but I’d love to see a “definitive version” of the 1970 theme, it’s quite different to the original considering it uses the same tracks, but it’s only available is a stupidly low quality even for 1970’s television standards
Love it! Amazing sound quality! My only issue is the woosh sound that loops doesn't mesh as well and is a little distracting, that's just for me but seriously man you do great things on this channel
Well in Delias original mix it’s hard to hear that hiss layer because of all the distortion and what not. It probably doesn’t mesh well because the flow of it goes in and out of sync with the main theme, I don’t think it was intended to stay in beat with the theme though.
@@RandomNameLastName811 I’ll say it once more, I didn’t include them as Delia didn’t include them in her original mix.
@@RandomNameLastName811 ruclips.net/video/CM8uBGANASc/видео.html
Listen to the original mate. Need I say more?
Nice !
This brings back memories of my childhood.
WOW - i love this - it has a distinct purity about it. Fair got goosebumps listening to it - it took me back to the first B&W eps I saw during "The Five Faces of Doctor Who" repeats between Logopolis and Castrovalva. One query though - did DD's original have the (and sorry I'm not sure how to describe this technically) "ZZHHHHHHHHHHHHH" long "note" at the end? I thought that was introduced in the 70s?
It did!
WHO agrees that this theme should have been always the theme to this day? and possibly add the THUNDERBOLT AS THE NEW COLOUR SERIES[1970]> .
yes
I was the same age this most definitely was the signature of it's day's truly fantastic
I prefer her second arrangement from '67 to '79 more, but I like this version a lot too.
Ooooh, new profile picture! Love it!
Thank you :)
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 By the way, good on you for keeping the samples tightly under wraps. I know you'd much rather release them but BBC said no lol
@@everettrailfan I appreciate that. I don’t really understand it all, but I’d rather stay out of shit by keeping it all to myself.
@@everettrailfan I wouldn't - I'd keep them all to myself anyway!😂😂
Almost perfect... Although I should point out that the original score was out of time in places deliberately. That was a creative choice, meant to give the theme an air of added mystery. The score that was NOT out of time was actually used for the Second Doctor onwards, getting updates for the 70's Era.
❤
So, I know this will sound like an insane request (if I may even be so bold to ask) but you (To ME) seem like the only person qualified enough to ever do a Remix of ‘Doctorin’ The Tardis’ by KLF with the Peter Howell theme version, like a Mash-up if you will? Basically, it would be Doctorin’ The Tardis with elements of the Peter Howell version mixed in. Is that ever something you would consider doing? Thx and keep up the amazing work :)
I’ll look into it! Thanks for the idea.
In the 1950s the BBC was still 'stiff upper lip' and was strongly against the new music of the rock & roll era - and then they made this!
This sounds like the September 1963 televised theme arranged like the august 1963 radiophonic theme synchronized to mark ayers’ 2006 stereo remaster
It’s structure is strongly based on the original mix by Delia. Only reason it sounds like Marks is because it’s the same sort of sound quality as his remaster.
Interesting
Listen closely and you hear a ba - ruum
you mean the second bassline?
Can you do a definitive stereo mix for the version of this they used for the second to fourth doctor?
I often wonder what would have happened if this had been released as a single in America
My parents are older than doctor who bye a year and they didn't have it in the states back then
I made a TARDIS model and did a turntable animation of it, I was wondering if it would be okay I could use this mix in my animation? I promise, I'll credit you and post the link to this mix in the description of my animation,
0:43, there's a sudden pop, you may wana fix that
It’s not exactly intrusive. That’s just the nature of working with this stuff, and I guess if I went back in and attempted to remove that maybe I could. I always try to keep any issues like that to a minimum, and if I feel it distracts from the mix and is obvious I’ll remove it.
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 It's barely noticeable, so it's fine.
@@daedalus6433 It’s difficult to do fades between edits on GarageBand, far easier on Adobe Audition. I just make do with what I have, and sometimes I’ll go over a cut several times until it’s least noticeable.
@@RandomNameLastName811 Marks ones sound better to you because they’ve been messed about with and glossed up to be pretty and glamorous. He layered the hell out of the hiss tracks, and for some reason took out two bass grace notes. The “buzz” you’re talking about has nothing to do with me, that’s just how it is and it’s not something I did to it.
@@RandomNameLastName811 The unnecessary hiss tracks I was referring to are the ones Mark added in that weren’t there in the original, to make it stereo. The other hiss tracks which I left out, the hiss “swells”, weren’t in Delias very first original mix at the start, so the first two bars of bassline are clean. The intent of this mix was to keep it far more basic, as the original theme was, not all tarted up and buggered with like Marks. I’ll have you also know, that it was only once Delia had passed away that Mark then took it upon himself to mess about with this theme, the next year in fact after she had passed. Definitely not sus at all.......that and his first mix which he released contained a plethora of incorrect cuts. He corrected those 4 years afterwards but for some reason left behind two bass grace notes at the start of the first melody sine.
Stereo one when
What about the thunderclap?
What's that rattling noise every time the bass is plucked?
Wow! A doctor! Can I be a doctor too?
you can MAKE a Doctor Who remix intro
He DID make a remix
@@youngbutretro4228 It appears I did.
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 ok
Doctor who 1995
Fox tv
Did he write it
Some of it
Who?
Nice!
