Doctor Who: All the Strange, Strange Creatures (1960s)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2024
- Here it is! My first attempt at re-creating the sound of 1960s Doctor Who, in the form of All the Strange, Strange Creatures.
There's heavy drums, organs, sine wave generators (or some approximation of them), clav-esque sounds, spooky woodwinds, muted French horns, and pots and pans for some more percussion. I looked into the work of several composers of the period and these were the most consistent themes I found across the examples I looked at.
I'm aware there's a fraction of a second after my obligatory 'funny' clip that I've added to the previous two versions of these videos (you'll know it when you see it) where there is a black screen. That's my fault, I extracted the clip from youtube and forgot to edit that part out.
Also included a nod to the great Karkus from the Mind Robber, as he featured in an ongoing comic in the NZDWFC’s fanzine, TSV.
I've avoided using animations for the music video, they're bound to be copyright flagged and they detract too much from the style of the music video anyway.
Enjoy!
Sheet music by dandalf.
Having the iconic shadow of the caveman at the end of An Unearthly Child right at the end is just the best.
Considering YANA is a variant of this song, I could imagine this track being used in The War Games when we see the Time Lords for the first time.
Ooh good idea!! I’ll remember that
i'm now convinced that murray gold could've carried the hartnell era
Nothing in the world can stop me now!

Recorder Playing Space Weirdo: bet
The amount of restraint it took to not use any Daleks (and barely any Cybermen!) is impressive. I'm not sure if this particularly sounds 60s-ish, but I enjoyed it very much. I'm woefully behind on watching Classic Who, but I'll always have a soft spot for the Hartnell era.
Yeah the problem with a track like this is that it just wouldn’t have appeared in 60s Who. So the goal was to use the kinds of instruments/sounds typical of the time.
@@hellsw0rth The biggest issue to me is that it's a lot of staccato notes and the melodies and rhythms are very complex. I think if you simplified them into legato parts, it'd help a lot. For example, with the main melody, instead of "dadada,diddy dadada" it's just a longer "daaa, da naaa, da naaa", etc.
@@MichaelleEltonOfficial hmm that’s a very interesting point. I’ll try to take that on board if I try another 60s retro remix. Thank you for the constructive feedback!
@@hellsw0rthNo worries at all! Not trying to plug myself or anything, but I am a musician myself, so if you ever wanted to collaborate to whatever degree, feel free to reach out!
@@MichaelleEltonOfficial thank you! I’m not a musician at all (in case it isn’t obvious) but I’m learning. I’ll reach out if I could do with some more pointers. Thanks for the offer!
I don't really think it sounds very 60s, but that's also just because the music in the 60s was absolutely insane
(See the weird drum soundtrack in The Dalek Invasion of Earth for my favourite example)
As its own piece though, I think it's an awesome reinterpretation. Always enjoy your work
Thank you! The drums you mention for Dalek Invasion are why I went for heavy drums in mine. And the clav sound is from The Invasion. You’re right, the music is too atmospheric to translate a track like this directly. When I made notes of the soundtrack to the Daleks, I wrote “whistle” and “wind” which don’t quite fit this. But then they used stock music for half of season 4 so it was all over the place.
In the end, I just went for the sounds of the 60s rather than the style itself.
@@hellsw0rth that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing a bit of the process
You've managed to emulate the era really well. It's so impressive.
Wow, that's surprisingly the best version of AtSSC you've done in my opinion.
This is way too melodic to sound like 60s Who. Fun experiment!
I think this is the track I revisit the most out of your creations. It's just phenomenal.
Thank you! I do think this is probably the track I’m most proud of tbh
Terrific work as always buddy!
Well done 👍 it can be quite easy to take an old tune and give it a modern feel, but not so easy to take a modern tune and give it that classic feel, I think you got the sound right for it, but it’s the tune itself that’s too modern in its pacing to sound like it’s from that era, but I appreciate your effort, well done mate ❤❤
Agreed, I made that point in an earlier comment. And thank you!
@@hellsw0rth you’re welcome, keep going, good work
Now I imagine a musical arrangement of the soundtrack in Classical Doctor Who. Like it could have been in an epic arc like a trailer or actual scene in the "Three" or "Five Doctors" episodes or "the Dalek Invasion of Earth" episode.
Edit: Great effort in pulling it through,
I'm super happy this song is still popular :3

I just LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!
Thank you! This made my day!
This sounds fantastic 💙💙
Awesome work again!
This is amazing!
Brilliant, if youre taking suggestions have you considered a retro version of there's a man i know/8th doctors theme
One of the goats. I second this!
I do love that theme in the Big Finish audios. But I’d need sheet music or a MIDI to work with. It’s definitely something I’d love to try though.
Great vid
This is so atmospheric!!!!
First: I love it! Second: I would love to use these tracks during my Doctor Who "D&D" games, but there's always a voice clip somewhere over the top of them. Do you have a version available without the voice clip?
Think of it as spoken word lyrics
I did start uploading them to Soundcloud. I’ll keep doing that. There’s a few there already. Username there is hellsw0rth.
Amazing! Thank you!
@@ryanbaillie11 not sure if you saw the post I made yesterday, but 12 tracks are now on Soundcloud without the voices of the music videos. Link is on my community page. If there’s any others you think should be on there, let me know!
@@hellsw0rthFantastic! Thanks!
This is very nicely done! Have you ever thought about adapting Classic Who scores into a NuWho style?
I have but it’s nowhere near as straightforward as the other way around.
@@hellsw0rth I get ya!
we need classic covers of newwho dalek themes.
considering they sound more similar to older themes.
I’ve done one of the Dalek themes already, but not the main one from Series One.
magnum opus material
