The BBC Radiophonic Workshop - the first 25 years
Though the Radiophonic Workshop was opened on 1 April 1958, it was very adequately described in 1624 by Francis Bacon In The New Atlantis:
'Wee have also Sound-houses, wher wee practise and demonstrate all Sounds, and their generation. Wee have Harmonies which you have not, of Quarter-Sounds, and lesser Slides of Sounds. Diverse Instruments of Musick likewise to you unknowne...' Devised by DESMOND BRISCOE and compiled and introduced by MICHAEL SMEE Produced at the RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP by DAVID RAYVERN ALLEN
