Tristram Cary, and The BBC Radiophonic Workshop ‎– "Doctor Who: The Daleks/The Dead Planet" (BBC TV) 1963

Ahhhh, at last it's Lustmord's new dark ambient album.......no.....wait!......the label says Its Trstram Cary's soundtrack to some television programme from the early sixties,made when Lustmord was still gestating. 
Yep,thanks to Doctor WHO , the BBC Radiophonic Workshop invented 'Dark Ambient' music as well as synth pop,popularizing Musique Concréte and many other means of sound production that the two Brians, Brian Eno and Brain Williams(lustmord), could have only dreamt of when this soundtrack was commisioned nearly sixty years ago!Cary is a greatly ignored God of electronic..err..music(?), no matter If you love or hate the TV programme, the sparse and carefully judged music adds so much menace and atmosphere to this already creepy episode that you are forgiven if you shit yourself...twice!
Doctor Who was a terrifying experience,especially in those monochrome days,but backed up by this creepy music it would have been too much for most children, and most adults, when broadcast at teatime on a saturday evening in the early Sixties. Both myself and Lustmord weren't even born when this Dalek story was first transmitted back in 1963.The world was just waking up to the simplistic jolly melodies of The Beatles,which when Juxtaposed with the sinister sounds of Britains most popular Science Fiction show must have sounded like nursery ryhmes.....no wonder everybody loved 'em?! 
Doctor Who sounded like real life,whereas Those loveable Moptops represented the average person's dreams and aspirations.....love, money,fame, things.....there was none of this stuff on Planet Skaro;just death,repression, fear,radiation, pollution,mutations and disease.....just like modern Earth I hear you say? Indeed, I think the Daleks are a visual metaphor for our future,and Skaro is the future Earth. A stark warning going unheeded. Just listen to the opening Dalek Speech,then contrast and compare that with whats happening today.....

"Look, The Disease has reached us in Here!" says Dalek no.1.
" Is This The End Of The Daleks?", inquires Dalek 2 demurely,.
"We need radiation to survive!" emphasises a now panicing Dalek number 2.
"We will have to explode another Neutron Bomb!",offers Dalek 1.

If that conversation hasn't taken place already in the Whitehouse Bunker then I'm a Dutchman!? (said in a Dalek Voice.....which was achieved,incidently by speaking through a BBC ring modulator.)
I can see that in the near future, when the world population consists of just a few thousand Dalek-like Cyborgs of rich people,who exist on a radiation scorched planet Earth after the MacDonalds sponsored robot wars of the mid-twenty-first century.After the sucessfull invasion of China....the chinese Robots used used cheaper components without full warranty.....the Cyborg elite,all speak with the only voice unit available......oh no, please exterminate us now.....the only human voice we will hear in the future will be a cross between the Daleks Ring-Modulator chic, and Donald Trump's monosylabic anglo-stoopid.Even the Bill Gates and George Soros cyborgs will speak with his voice....I think there will be another war after the next one,consisting largely of suicidal Dalek types,embracing death to get away from the monster that is 'The Donald',who changed his name to 'Davros' creator of the Human Daleks....this is just the start of a very long ending maaaaan!

Just like Donald L.Trump becoming president was predicted on The Simpsons, the Trump inspired fate of our planet was predicted by Dr Who and Tristram Cary provided the soundtrack to it.
He knows what scares you, children. Uncle Tristram KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!......and I'm not just referring to the unmade Science Fantasy movie called "President Donald L.Trump"!?
If that script was offered to the BBC as an episode of Dr Who, it would have been rejected as "Highly Unlikely".....yes the Existence of Cybermen was once thought of as more likely than Donald Trump becoming leader of the Western World!....Uncle Donald knows what scares you and your children kiddies...Uncle Donald KNOWS!!!!!!!!!...sadly Tristram Cary is no longer with us to provide the soundtrack.......maybe Kanye West will do it?....now that is truly HORRIFIC!!!!!!!

Tristram Cary - "Soundings: Electroacoustic Works 1955-1996" (Tall Poppies -TP139) 2005

Tristram Cary was among the earliest electro-pioneers.He worked as a radar engineer in World War II and at this time conceived ideas of early electronic and tape music. After the war he developed his first electronic music studio and studied composition, piano, horn, viola and conducting at Trinity College of Music in London. He became well known for his music for several episodes of 'Doctor Who', and for his music for many films,among them the fantastic 'Lady Killers'(the Alec Guiness Version NOT the shite Tom fucking Hanks/american version),which was his big break. 
Cary was also responsible for a number of 'Firsts' in Electronic Music,as co-producer of the first concert of live computer music at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, in 1968,he was also a partner in EMS' production of the 'Putney', one of the first generation of synthesizers,and made the music for 'The Children of Lir' (1959), the first major BBC television program with an entirely electronic score.
'Soundings' includes music Cary composed with makeshift WWII surplus in the 1940s, with the first tape recorders in the 1950s, with analog synthesizers in the 1960s and 1970s, and with computer-based systems between 1979 and 1996. It includes Cary's deeply affecting music for the radio version of Ray Bradbury's 'Leviathan 99' (1972) .Also 'Birth is Life is Power is Death is God is ...' (1967), a major concert work which integrates electronic sounds, recorded sounds, and sounds of musical instruments drawn from Cary's soundtrack to a film shown at the British Pavilion at EXPO '67 in Montreal. It includes 'Soft Walls' (1980), an early work for Synclavier; excerpts from 'The Impossible Piano (Homage to CN') (1994), a tribute to Conlon Nancarrow for sequencer and sampled piano. And it includes 'Continuum' (1969); '3 4 5 - A Study in Limited Resources for Stereo Tape' (1967); 'Suite - The Japanese Fishermen' (1955 / 1996); 'Stream Music' (1978); 'Nonet' (1979); 'Soft Walls' (1980); 'Sine City II' (1979 / 1996); 'The Clockpieces' (1983/1996), and 'Trellises' (1984). Also: 'Black, White & Rose', for marimba, gongs, woodblocks and tape (1991) and 'Narcissus', for flute and two tape recorders (1968); with performances by Ryszark Pusz (percussion) and Douglas Whittaker (flute).
Basically Tristram was there from the year zero of musique Concréte,early electronics,all the way through the dawn of the Synthesiser, to Computer music to sampling.He did it all,and fitted in a few works for Doctor Who as well!?

Tristram Cary ‎– "Trios - Live Performance Electronic Music(Trios for synthi VCS3 and turntables)" (Electronic Music Studios Limited) 1971

L-R Robert, Tristram,John, Charlotte and Doris Cary entertaining themselves with some light electronic experimentation of an evening in their suburban abode.

While America were polluting our delicate young minds with atrocious propaganda like The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, The Osmonds, and the acceptable(in the 70's) face of child sexual abuse,The Jackson 5. Britain, had the Cary Family, making Abstract avant-Garde Electronic music for adult kids who didn't know that dancing could be fun, and rhythm can only exist if worked out on a computer. The biggest difference between the Cary's and the Jacksons,apart from, hopefully, the lack of sexual abuse; was the cavernous difference in record sales.....as the Jacksons sold only a few million copies of their works and the Cary's sold even less,something like 250,no not 250 thousand.....two hundred and fifty,give or take the odd warped copy?
Well, us intellectuals (wink wink), know that shagging your kids is wrong, and that dancing makes one look like a fool. Self-consciousness is a lingering symptom of intelligence,so its good to let yourself go every now and again, no-one's gonna be watching you......then you look up after recreating John Travolta's famous strutting dance scene from Saturday Night Fever, and find out that they ARE looking at you.....and quite correctly, Laughing!?
You're on much safer ground with a huge synthesizer,a computer,a locked door and a few turntables.
"TRIOS" was first performed at the Cheltenham Festival......I assume that's the famous Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival? In which case I would love to see some film of hundreds of Drunken Irish race goers encountering this stuff for the first time; a far better audience to encounter than preaching to the converted,chin-stroking massive on the South Bank,or the Rives Gauche. Intellectual Ghetto's are not to be encouraged......so lets form one?
Tristam handled the VCS3, and his sons,John and Robert, did the turntablism.....I'd like to think that Charlotte and Doris got their tuppenny's worth in also?
The VCS3, I imagine was supplied by Tristram's partner in the EMS record label, inventer Peter Zinovieff,who created some of the wildest Synthesizers known to man.
All the tracks are rather short excursions into bleepy knob twisting territory, giving Napalm Death a run for their money in how to fit in as many tracks as possible on a 33rpm 12 incher,.....although there's nothing here to rival Napalm's one second magnum opus, "You Suffer",a classic of any genre may I suggest?
