I am psyched to have recreated the #dalek control room heartbeat sound, made in 1963 by Brian Hodgeson of the #BBC Radiophonic Workshop, this is an iconic sound, still used today, that I could not think how to recreate...until today.

@JustinMac84 @xogium My first exposure was, I think, The Impossible Plannet. Then I got all into the Cybermen. So, Cybermen 1 and 2 from Big Finish. Now I'm going back through the Classic and Revival series, and I've spent money mon Big finish. I respect that they don't DRM their MP3's.
@pixelate @xogium Big Finish do a lot of good titles. Quite a bit of crap as well, but that's to be expected. Dalek Empire is my favourite of dalek stuff that they do. Cybermen are great. It's weird, if you look at cybermen objectively, I thinkk they're cooler and more sinister than daleks, but there's just something about daleks, something about their presentation that makes them awesome.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate More cool indeed. They make a ton of noise when walking, but at least you can hear them coming. Daleks are furtive type. And they can't even go up a flight of stairs because they use wheels ha ha ha.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate Hah that is fair!
Speaking of new cybermen vs daleks... I absolutely like this scene from the new show. It's ridiculous in a good way because it's literally two different systems trying to agree on a protocol and just failing.- YouTube

@JustinMac84 @xogium @pixelate I don't know if I'm alone in this but the "Tenth Planet" Cybermen are my favorites. Their voices had that combination of somewhat human-sounding with that odd, old time computer voice inflection that, to me, made them sound so frightening. The 1980s Cybermen did not sound emotionless to me. They sounded either angry, disgusted or like they were enjoying themselves. The new Cybermen sound like they're talking through a roll of toilet paper. The Nicholas Briggs Dalek voices, to me, are the best. They are menacing and absolutely frightening. Briggs has Dalek psychology down to a science.

@Black_Flag I think one of the reasons I'm a sound designer is because I like Doctor Who. The classic era sound effects were brilliant! When you consider the humble origins of that sound and the tardis sound, you can't deny the genious behind them! 🤩
@JustinMac84 @Black_Flag I remember borrowing BBC Radiophonics Workshop LPs from the local library. Geeky pleasures

@spazahedron @Black_Flag I only ever got my hands on one, possibly two, both Doctor Who. Would have liked to check out more.

@DavidGoldfield @xogium @JustinMac84 Ugh yes, and Spare Parts! You gotta listen to Spare Parts! It's on Apple Music, Spotify, all that. Just don't listen to it at night or you'll be awake the rest of the night.

@pixelate @xogium @JustinMac84 I loved Spare Parts. I only heard that once but that's one story I'd be happy to replay. They did a great job in showing the humanity of the Mondasians, which made their conversion even more tragic.

@pixelate @JustinMac84 @xogium I don't remember her, as I haven't heard that story since it came out. It was quite good.

@DavidGoldfield @xogium @JustinMac84 It wasn't Nissa. It was... Ah come on brain, the father's daughter. Yvanne? Close as I can get.

@pixelate Right now, I'm replaying the 8th Doctor Time War series. I want to get the newer ones but before I do I want to replay what's happened. I forgot how good they were.

@pixelate @DavidGoldfield @xogium Goodness I can't remember names for hardly any one-story characters. They all go in one ear and out the other, unless they're especially bad ass. Take the dad. I don't remember his name, but I can picture his voice clearly and know the actor who played him, Paul Copply.
