The BBC Radiophonic Workshop's archive is now available to sample


The archive of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, an early innovator in electronic music, is being made available to the public for the first name.

Over the years, its roster of innovative musicians and composers created audio for iconic BBC productions of the 1950s and 1960s such as Doctor Who, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Goon Show and Blake's 7. In addition to developing those signature sounds, members' work also laid early foundations for creating electronic music and sampling. Chrome and Google app users on iPhone can now draw, highlight or tap on text and images to carry out a visual search of what they see in front of them.
