DWMSE 41
The 41st issue in a quarterly series of magazine releases by the publishers of Doctor Who Magazine from Panini UK looked at the history of music and sound in Doctor Who.
Publisher's summary
"Music is playing with time. It's slices of vibrating sound that go together in a certain order; if you jumble them up it becomes something else..." Paul Hartnoll
In the 1960s, Doctor Who's bold use of avant garde music and sound design played just as important a role as visual effects in evoking a journey through time and space. This is the story of those radiophonic pioneers and the composers who built on their extraordinary legacy.
Unprecedented in its scope and detail, The Music of Doctor Who explores one of the most celebrated and mysterious sonic landscapes in television history.
