DistantJ Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Every synth musician has to attempt their own Doctor Who theme at some point! That classic innovative theme which used synths (and bits of tape manually stuck together) before people even knew what a synth was, and scared people just because it sounded so odd to them, you just gotta have a go at making your own take on that awesomely mysterious theme song! As much as I love the dramatic half symphonic half synth version in the new show, I thought I'd have a go at a really mysterious one. So why don't you guys have a listen and see what you think! http://www.hooplanet.co.uk/distantj/music/Doctor%20Why.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Testament Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I like it. It sounds like a cross between the Colin Baker era and Sylvester McCoy era versions. I love the soft synths you used for the middle eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Ah, I really like this piece; though, I don't have much in the way of critical comments on it. For some reason, I always imagine the Doctor Who theme (the new series) transitioning into the Diva opera from Fifth Element. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splunkle Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 <3 Though if I wanted to be all pedantic, it could do with some more percussion. And be longer. And stuff. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantJ Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Heh, thanks. I found it was better without percussion, it seems so tacked on whenever I put percussion in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neminem Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I like it. I can't comment the way Eternal Testament did, as I only know the new series' theme... but I like it. It's very different from the version I'm accustomed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadosho Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm picturing the new series, and old one meshing together one last time. My gosh its beautiful to hear this again. Is this the final edit? hope we get to hear a full cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
