The Office of Experimental Music and Film
We are a collective of Electronic Musicians and Dadaists using vintage sounds, electronics and atmospheres to create a dense, strange and bleakly beautiful feel that's spooky and appealing.
Our concentrated area of research is in experimental music and film.
Our aim is to share as well as discover obscure experimental electronic music, sounds and gear as well as explore musique concrete, art and film.

The Radiophonic Workshop Reborn
Nice vintage clip of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop from 1965. (see link below)
http://thespace.org/items/e0000mk8?t=hqkz
In this 1965 film from the BBC archive, science programme Tomorrow’s World delves into the work of the pioneering sound engineers including Delia Derbyshire as they demonstrate how they generated music from a plethora of electronic sounds and effects.
The New Radiophonic Workshop builds on the legacy of its predecessor, but instead of being confined to rooms full of equipment in Maida Vale studios in London, the new unit will instead be a virtual institution, an online portal and forum for discussion around the challenges of creating new sounds, and bringing together music composition and software design.

The Sound of Analogue Electronic Music in 1979
A clip of David Vorhaus working in his studio in 1979. Vorhaus was also part of White Noise with Delia Derbyshire. This clip contains interesting dialogue about his sequencer MANIAC.
Regardless, very cool sounds can be heard as well as spotting some EMS gear.

We Also Have Sound Houses
After viewing the clip, rush down to the shops and buy a reel to reel tape recorder, some razor blades, sticky tape and an old green lamp shade!
Then ask mum and dad for permission to set up your studio in the loft.

Experimental Sound Artist
A clip from the Shout (1978)
An excellent film staring John Hurt as a sort of Radiophonic Workshop boffin.
Nice shots of him using some EMS gear as well. Very cool and creepy film, but I was always inspired by the experimental music aspect of it.
