Doctor Who: Adventures in Time, Space and Music

In this episode we’ll be looking at the music of Dudley Simpson focusing on his music from Series 7 of Doctor Who. In this episode we will look at his work on Serial AAA – Story 51 – Spearhead from Space and Serial CCC – Story 53 – The Ambassadors of Death. This discussion was recorded on the 16th of May, 2011. ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/ ABOUT YOUR HOSTS – DR. LOU: I am an Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of Nevada, Reno, where I write about and teach classes on avant-garde and popular music of the post-war era, focusing on musics that bridge the categories of high and low culture in society through media technology. In other words, I write about pretty music made on complicated equipment used in television and radio. Most of my stuff tends to be about music in the UK, although I have also written about American science fiction. My most recent publication is a history of the BBC’s electronic music studio, the Radiophonic Workshop, for Oxford University Press. Before becoming chair of the music department in Reno, I taught classes about television music, film music, music and gender, and popular music, as well as the more standard classical music history courses. After getting my undergraduate degree in singing from the University of Iowa, I spent a few hazy years bartending in nightclubs, listening to lots of dance music, and traveling as much as possible to England. Eventually, I decided I needed a career and did a Masters degree in musicology at the University of Texas at Austin, writing a thesis on music in Doctor Who. After that I moved to Los Angeles and did a PhD at UCLA in musicology, studying with Susan McClary and Philip Brett, among other amazing scholars. At UCLA I wrote what would become the first half of my Radiophonic history as my dissertation. I also, like Dr. Phil, am a performer of early music. But unlike him, for me it is purely a dilettante pursuit. I have sung early music since 1989, and at UCLA was the director of their early music ensemble, Musica Humana. Upon moving to Reno, I founded REM (Reno Early Music), Reno’s premiere early music group. Actually, we are Reno’s only early music group. But it’s fun. I also run the Reno Time Team, a local group making our way through all of classic Doctor Who.

ABOUT OUR SERIES GUEST: Alistair Lock demonstrated a talent for the audio medium at an early age, spending most of his childhood playing with tape recorders, as well as honing his keen interest in music and theatre. Having acquired a thorough education in radio production, Alistair went on to greater things, working as producer, sound designer and actor for Audio Visuals, which came out with a number of independent Doctor Who stories after the television series went off the air. At the same time, Alistair also developed an interest in Blake’s 7, working with Alan Stevens to produce the behind-the-scenes documentary ‘Travis: the Final Act’ and two spinoff radio plays set in the Blake’s 7 universe, ‘The Mark of Kane’ and ‘The Logic of Empire.’ More recently, Alistair has done tireless music, acting and production work for BBV’s Doctor Who spinoff audio plays, notably ‘The Island of Lost Souls’ and ‘Zygons: Absolution,’ as well as their videos, including ‘The Airzone Solution,’ ‘More than a Messiah’ and the ‘Autons’ series. He also did post-production work on the well-received UNIT video story, ‘Downtime.’ He has supplied theme music for a number of science-fiction conventions, including his famous remix of Madonna’s ‘Open Your Heart’ with the Doctor Who theme for Panopticon, and produced a number of plays on his own. Alistair is probably best known, however, for his work on Mgic Bullet Productions’ Kaldor City audios as well as Big Finish Productions’ series of officially-licensed Doctor Who audio plays, which more than one reviewer has described as ‘cinematic.’ ABOUT OUR THEME: The theme to ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC is a remix by Isaac Arsenault. Isaac started mashingup music in the winter of ’09, After reading Jordan Roseman’s “Audio Mashup Construction Kit.” Working with sound Equipment and being technical leader for two bands he opened his taste for music by studying it mathematically and learning the science behind it. To find out more about Isaac’s work, visit http://www.twitter.com/drautobob.

I am also a performer of Early Music on viols – or violas da gamba – a family of bowed guitars that were popular in Europe from the 15th through the late 18th centuries. ABOUT OUR SERIES GUEST: Alistair Lock is a well-respected audio professional best known for his work on the all-new Blake’s 7 audio adventures and the Big Finish Productions’ series of officially-licensed Doctor Who audio plays, which more than one reviewer described as ‘cinematic.’ His association with Blake’s 7 dates back to when he was the director/sound designer on Magic Bullet’s controversial Kaldor City series, an ultra-violent tale of power, sex and intrigue inspired by Blake’s 7. He is now perhaps best known as the voice of the synthetic intelligence known only as Zen. Prior to this, he worked on a number of independent Doctor Who stories produced during the television series’ hiatus. Credits include BBV’s Doctor Who spin-off audio plays, notably “Republica” and “Prosperity Island”, along with direct-to-video releases, including “The Airzone Solution”, “More than a Messiah” and the “Auton” trilogy series. He also did post-production sound effects on the popular UNIT video story “Downtime”, supplying radio jingle music, computer voices and ruining his throat doing yetis., Alistair is also an accomplished composer and has provided scores for Sapphire & Steel, Doctor Who and Bennie Summerfield audio adventures. Other music credits include the infamous remix of Madonna’s Open Your Heart.

He has come a long way from the days when post-production was a difficult and cumbersome task involving yards of reel-to-reel or cassette tape to the present world of sophisticated computers and digital formats. His professionalism and level-headedness in the studio are well-known, as is his sterling reputation which he has built up through quiet competence alone. BONUS MUSIC Many thanks to Alistair Lock who has generously allowed us to include one of his cues from his score to the Big Finish Doctor Who Unbound story Auld Mortality.

In this episode we’ll be featuring an interview with Doctor Who actor, author and audio producer Nigel Fairs, focusing on his work composing and working as sound designer for Big Finish Productions, recorded the 27th of November, 2010 at the Chicago TARDIS convention. ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/ ABOUT OUR GUEST: Nigel Fairs is a British actor, writer, composer and producer. He trained at Bretton Hall College and has appeared in a number of theatre productions, most notably as Christopher Wren in the long-running London stage production of The Mousetrap. On television, he has appeared in EastEnders and as a Dalek on Blue Peter. He has had 26 stage plays produced, and two musicals. He currently works for Big Finish Productions, as a composer, and was the producer of their Sapphire and Steel and The Tomorrow People ranges. A common style of both ranges is an increase in emotional content, the exploration of ongoing themes and, in the case of The Tomorrow People, long-running story arcs. As well as writing individual stories for both these ranges, he has contributed to the company’s Doctor Who range in February 2007 with The Blue Tooth, and later The Catalyst and Empathy Games, both starring Louise Jameson. In 2007, he contributed to the short-story collection Short Trips: Snapshots. Prior to his work for Big Finish, he was a regular writer and director for BBV.

ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/ ABOUT YOUR HOST: My name is Dr. Phillip Serna – you can call me Dr. Phill as many of my colleagues, friends and students do. I’m a performer and teacher here in the Chicago area where I received my Master & Doctoral degrees in Music at Northwestern University. On double bass I perform solo, chamber, orchestral and contemporary literature. I am also a performer of Early Music on viols – or violas da gamba – a family of bowed guitars that were popular in Europe from the 15th through the late 18th centuries. ABOUT OUR SERIES GUEST: Dominic Glynn is one of the world’s most prolific composers of production music. His work has featured worldwide in hit TV shows including ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Red Dwarf’ and ‘Dead Like Me’ and in movies like ‘Kevin & Perry Go Large’ and Eddie Murphy/Jeff Goldblum comedy ‘Holy Man’. Dominic began his career writing incidental music for BBC TV’s “Doctor Who” in the late 1980s, and is one of a select number of composers to have re-arranged the show’s iconic theme tune. In the 90s he continued to compose for a number of BBC shows, and after a series of leftfield underground dance record releases, he formed his own independent record label. Today he can often be seen DJing for ‘The Big Chill’. Live work has included performing at London’s Festival Hall with pedal-steel guitar legend BJ Cole, and the electronica/jazz hybrid project ‘Cybajaz’. Dominic has composed the score for a series of short supernatural film dramas, screened at London’s Frightfest horror film festival, as well as music for two contemporary dance films. More recently, he has composed the score to upcoming British feature film ‘Bad Day’ starring Claire Goose and Donna Air, as well as a new radio revival of sci-fi classic ‘Blake’s 7’.

In this episode we’ll be featuring an interview with Doctor Who author and editor Simon Guerrier, focusing on his work writing for BBC Books and working for Big Finish Productions, recorded the 27th of November, 2010 at the Chicago TARDIS convention. ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/ ABOUT OUR GUEST: Simon Guerrier is a British science fiction author and dramatist, closely associated with the fictional universe of Doctor Who and its spinoffs. Although he has written three Doctor Who novels, for the BBC Books range, his work has mostly been for Big Finish Productions’ audio drama and book ranges. Guerrier’s earliest published fiction appeared in Zodiac, the first of Big Finish’s Short Trips range of Doctor Who short story anthologies. To date, his work has appeared in the majority of the Short Trips collections. He has also edited three volumes in the series, The History of Christmas, Time Signature and How The Doctor Changed My Life. The second of these takes as its starting-point Guerrier’s short story An Overture Too Early in The Muses, and explains its background, with considerable elaboration and digression along the way. The third anthology featured stories entirely by previously unpublished writers. After contributing two stories to the anthology Life During Wartime in Big Finish’s Bernice Summerfield range of books and audio dramas, Guerrier was invited to edit the subsequent year’s short story collection, A Life Worth Living, and the novella collection Parallel Lives. After contributing two audio dramas to the series, Guerrier became the producer of the Bernice Summerfield range of plays abd books, a post he held between January 2006 and June 2007. His other Doctor Who work includes the audio dramas, The Settling and The Judgement of Isskar, in Big Finish’s Doctor Who audio range, three Companion Chronicles and a contribution to the UNIT spinoff series. He has also written a play in Big Finish’s Sapphire and Steel range.Guerrier’s work is characterised by character-driven humour and by an interest in unifying the continuity of the various Big Finish ranges through multiple references and reappearances of characters. As editor he has been a strong promoter of the work of various script writers from the Seventh Doctor era of the Doctor Who television series.
