Doctor Who Theme (1963)

A re edit of Delia Derbyshire's Doctor Who theme using samples of her sounds and mixing them in a different way. I was going to use it for a trailer for An Unearthly Child but I can't find the time.

An Unearthly Child trailer music (THE DELIA REMIX)

Ever since I was a kid I've always loved the vinyl LP of this one-off story (a present from my mum during a visit to Blackpool in 1980).  
Looking back on it now I feel as though it lacked the splendor of DW's music maestro, Dudley Simpson.
So just for a fun experiment, an excerpt from the LP, the first four minutes (where originally there was no music at all!) now with injected with Dudley's music.

A suite of music arranged and mixed by myself for my upcoming "Doctor Who: The William Hartnell Era" soundtrack collection.

I have been a Doctor Who fan for quite a while now. Really loved the new Twelfth Doctor's theme song, composed by the brilliant Murray Gold. Thought I'd do a remix of it just for fun, and also to test out some new DnB production techniques. Was a really enjoyable and fun project to undertake. All melodies were recreated from scratch by me. The only sample I used from Doctor Who is the "Start the clock" sample, taken from the episode 'Mummy on the Orient Express'. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed producing it. Allons-y! (Wrong Doctor I know)

All rights belong to the BBC and Murray Gold. This is just a fan-made remix made for fun and should not be used for any commercial purposes. 

P/S: If this remix is well received I plan to do some follow up remixes for the Eleventh and Tenth Doctors' Themes. :) Please share it around if you like it.

"It's just incredible" – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music
“Strangely upbeat nocturnes" – The Wire

‘Spells’ merges programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. In some ways it continues where his underground debut ‘Gravity’ left off, though a lot of weight is lifted, making room for a lighter and more energetic listen. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered both albums. Ben is not a master pianist like his dear friend, but his sound collages are so meticulously designed that after hearing the result an impressed Nils declared: “from now on, if anyone asks – this is a real piano”. 

His intricate, humanised programming – enhanced by drummer Achim Färber, cellist Anton Peisakhov and harpist Lara Somogyi, and a considerate selection of echoes, delays and compressors – has been used to create a hybrid sound that intends to deceive, question and challenge existing listening habits. Utilising the contrast between reduction and decoration, ‘Spells’ can be seen as a quest to find out how much or how little composition is required to constitute a song. Why the ear can and should be deceived about the authenticity of instruments. What significance these instruments have within this process, and why the personal perception of balance and sound exclude ultimate truths. 

Linking the two albums are the four movements of ‘Nocturne’, an ever-developing conversation that on occasion flirts with the grandeur of compressed rock drums. The first single, ‘Golden Times 1’, received a world premiere by BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs, proclaiming it as "incredible." An alternative version of ‘Sleepers Beat Theme’ – composed for the soundtrack to a short film about the Trans-Siberian Express – opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales album from 2015, who noted “I thought it was such a calming and sensitive piece that sounded to me like the beginning of something...the warmth and depth of the sound entrances me every time”. 

Though ‘Spells’ and ‘Gravity’ are his first albums recorded under his own name, as acclaimed electronic producer HECQ he’s released nine albums since 2003, exploring everything from ambient to breakcore. He has simultaneously established himself as a trusted composer and sound designer, working for a wide array of clients including Amnesty International and Marvel Comics; composing for feature films, games, art installations and convention opening titles.

After embracing this demanding line of work, in 2010 Ben felt the need to explore his roots and early education, which inspired these albums under his own name. Born in 1981 as the third child of opera singer Deirdre Boysen and actor Claus Boysen, his classical music training on piano and guitar began when he was seven years old; the works of Bruckner, Wagner and Bach laid an important foundation. Rediscovering this music shared with his parents – united with the sounds of Autechre, Cristian Vogel and Jiri.Ceiver to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You! Black Emperor – brought back an understanding of why he wanted to write music in the first place.

“Finding my views understood, reflected and welcomed by Erased Tapes was an encouraging experience, crowned by the offer to release ‘Spells’ and re-issue ‘Gravity’ with them. Through many caring conversations with Robert I felt that there’s no better home for the existing ideas and no better cradle for new ones.”  – Ben Lukas Boysen

Merrin Karras - Apex (ASIPV005)

This is a series of covers I've been working on, in an attempt to closely capture the sounds and arrangement of Delia Derbyshire's original Doctor Who theme, in its many variations from 1963-1980. These include Full Theme, Opening Theme and Closing Theme edits of the DW theme.

The only sounds used from the original composition are the "sting" (the loud sound that proceeds the Closing and Extending Closing edits), and the "wind bubble" (the low droning noise that plays at the end of most of these sequences. I built all the other elements myself.
