Earlier this year, I wrote about the Doctor Who theme music.
Delia Derbyshire created the first Doctor Who theme music composed by Ron Grainer. Here, Daniel Walmsley from Planet Nerd (broadcast on a community television station in Melbourne, Australia) talks to David Shea about the origin of electronic music and the history of the Doctor Who theme music.
How Delia Derbyshire recorded the original was using a series of tape players similar to this
There is also an interesting article in the BBC News magazine about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. A green lampshade has gained legendary status.
A remake of the theme music was composed by Peter Howell and demonstrated here

After having a blech week at work, I stayed home today instead of being unproductive in the office.

Hey Dan,
Thanks for featuring our piece!
My name's Dan too. Daniel Walmsley- you got my name wrong ;-)
Also, Planet Nerd isn't a community TV station, it's a show on Channel 31 Melbourne (which is a community TV station. You weren't far off).
Cheers,
Dan
