Siday, Eric
Ultra Sonic Perception
A collection of electro-acoustic and early electronic music, compiled from a series of rare electronic 78rpm 10-inches, featuring music used in the 1960s TV series 'Doctor Who'. Considered to be one of the pioneers of Psychoacoustics, Eric Siday is also acknowledged as a key name in the growth of 20th century electronic music. Pulling together a clutch of eerie atomic-age miniatures drawn from a series of rare 10-inch library discs, this compilation explores Siday's scientific study of sound, a concept he branded The Ultra Sonic Perception. Partially used as the soundtrack for early episodes of 'Doctor Who', this document offers an amazing insight into the early electronic music used in television as well as a showcase of the pioneering techniques used by this forward thinking composer.
