ACO - Australian Chamber Orchestra

I really like the ACO. 
I have been seeing them preform for decades, but this incorporation
of electronic inspired music looks really interesting.
Well worth supporting esp as the ACO also visits Wollongong along with the big cities
like Melbourne and Sydney.

Will Gregory of Goldfrapp
will be joining the ACO
and bringing some Moog Synths along for the ride.


I never knew that the Dr Who Theme was written by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire.

Ron Grainer was Australian.
His film credits include the scores for To Sir With Love (1967) and the Charlton Heston cult classic The Omega Man (1971).

I couldn't resist embedding this snippet of Delia @ the BBC.
The essence of Musique concrète .
She was actually creating pieces of music, and not just sound effects.
