British Radiophonics ( A Trribute to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop)

I have now released my latest music project and this marks my first departure away from Creature. Creature hasn’t gone  away, but I want to try a few new things before I start another Creature album.

This is an album of short pieces of music and sound design influenced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. I have been a fan of the workshop ever since hearing the spooky music for Doctor Who.

This album features 28 tracks of intricate sound design and I feel it captures the overall feeling of the workshop nicely. This album is available from all the main download stores like iTunes, Napster, eMusic, Amazon etc. You can stream the album for free online by visiting the Haunted House Records site.

Here is the album description. I hope you like what you hear:

British Radiophonics is an album that pays tribute to the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, one of the sound effects units of the BBC, was created in 1958 to produce effects and new music for radio, and was closed in March 1998, although much of its traditional work had already been outsourced by 1995. It was based in the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios in Delaware Road, London, W9, UK growing outwards from the then-legendary Room 13. The innovative music and techniques used by the Workshop has made it one of the most significant influences on electronic music today.

The British Radiophonics album pays tribute to the music created by the men and women on the Radiophonic Workshop. This isn’t an album of covers or copies. It is an album of short incidental music inspired by the sound and the creative processed of the original workshop.

British Radiophonics was written and recorded by Stephen Haunts, or the act Creature. Stephen has been a life long fan of the workshop after first hearing the music from doctor who. As Stephen developed in interest in music he grew to love the output from the workshop even more.
