With your support weve upscaled & restored (under Fair Use copyright law as transformative work) the 1982 BBC TV piece where Peter Howell of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop demonstrates to Tim Whitnall how he reimagined Ron Grainers classic Doctor Who theme - which was first realised so startlingly by Delia Derbyshire and Dick Mills in the 1960s - to make it brighter and more modern sounding for the 1980s. Alongside Airwolf and Knight Rider this is one of my top 3 TV theme tunes of all time. He uses modern polyphonic analogue synthesisers like the Yamaha CS-80, an ARP Odyssey Mk3 and a Roland Jupiter-4, a vocoder and an old, malfunctioning phase shifter unit he found in the back of the Workshop. At the end he demonstrates the Fairlight CMI Series II synthesiser to the kids from St Marys Balham Primary School and hosts Tim Whitnall and Lucie Skeaping. This clip is from The Music Arcade: Electricity in Music. Originally broadcast 2 February, 1982. _Compare this restoration with the original clip: https://youtu.be/RZuf0LIU-2A_ ©️ @BBCTV / @BBCArchive 1982 👾 *Support this work & get exclusive perks: http://patreon.com/perifractic or http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gARF3ICgaLfs3o2znuqXA/join or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gARF3ICgaLfs3o2znuqXA/join* 🔗 Full linktree: http://retrorecip.es/linktree *RECIPE INGREDIENTS** • Enhanced using: https://www.topazlabs.com/topaz-video-ai/ref/1748/ • Dust & scratches removed using: https://www.neatvideo.com • Edited & mixed using Final Cut Pro X • 🛠 _Get the other gear I use:_ 🇺🇸https://amzn.to/3eT3SzD | 🇬🇧http://amzn.to/30y05lg *SAUCES & CHEERS* • Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons • The Internet Archive • Gardenside Prods., Clue Detectives & Paradise Radio • Special thanks to Ladyfractic & the Puppyfractics! • All other media featured is marked as public domain on Google Images or used with written permission or shown under Fair Use law. *MENU* 0:00 Documentary 6:49 Finished performance 8:21 AI Restoration Explainer 9:20 Fairlight Demo & Supporter Credits CORRECTION 9:13 For those who asked, please note these lines are not interlacing, they are low resolution pixel lines recorded on the original tape and can’t be removed via “deinterlacing” methods. *SOME INGREDIENTS BY* • http://MattGrandis.net - design of https://perifractic.com website • http://twitter.com/_GazMarshall - some graphics • http://PaulKitching3d.com - some 3D models © All original music & content Copyright & TM Retro Recipes™ LLC 1988-present. *Some links may offer some peanuts to support this retrochannel but all opinions are 100% unbiased. #retro #retrogaming #retrocomputing #dogs #gaming #gamergirlCs$ $Gold Framing a Knight Rider Prop Replica 📹 quickbytes 🚔 *Win KITTesla:* https://bit.ly/winkittesla | 🎟️ *Follow our raffles:* https://raffall.com/retrorecipes Lets revisit that original painting that I thought mightve been directly from Devon Miles office set on Knight Rider, give it a deserving gold frame, & make it truly KITT - worthy!
