Special Sound by Louis Niebur

Special Sound by Louis Niebur

Special Sound traces the fascinating creation and rich legacy of the BBC's electronic music studio, particularly in the context of other studios in Europe and America. From the ashes of highbrow BBC radio drama emerged an extremely influential kind of electronic music consisting of quirky tonal jingles, signature tunes, and incidental music for such popular programs as Doctor Who.
