Dr Who Theme on Dreadbox Analog Synthesizer


video upload by VCO USA

"A journey through time, space, and analog synthesis. 🌀

The original Doctor Who theme (1963) remains one of the most extraordinary pieces of electronic music ever made for television. Pioneer Delia Derbyshire constructed its otherworldly sound through tape manipulation, oscillators, filters, recorded tones, and painstaking editing, transforming the score into something that seemed to arrive from another dimension.

For this version, electronic musician Lorna Dune turned to the Dreadbox Erebus: an analog paraphonic synthesizer whose oscillators, filter, modulation, and wonderfully unruly character felt right at home in the strange sonic universe Derbyshire helped create.
