ULTIMATE DOCTOR WHO MIX

The Streaming Anthem of Cosmic Imagination

boyoehackenslash had this to say:

"This is brilliantly mixed, I've always liked the doctor's theme tune, though surprisingly, I've never been a big fan of the program itself. Go figure."

Boyoehackenslash is not special. A great many more people take pleasure in the opening title music of BBC's Doctor Who than actually enjoy watching the television program. It is popular with weird kids, technophiles, mythology enthusiasts & educated hippie children -- all of whom have a mysterious ability to tolerate the woeful British special effects. We are simply asked to behave as if in the Theatre and pretend that the unrealistic tin-can with the black golf-balls glued onto it is actually a race of malevolent cyborgs that symbolize the terrifying specture of the dehumanized future.

( Side note: The Dehumanization of Humanity into a mass-mind hive of man-machines, or h. cybermechanicus, was the sole theme dealt with by British cultural arts during the early-middle twentieth century. From T.S. Eliot's "Hollow Men" to J.R.R. Tolkein's armored hordes of industrial-power Orcs to the insidious world of Orwell's "1984," we find the same menacing species of Evil that Colin Wilson and the Beatles struggled to escape from. Gone were the days of simple flight into Neverland. Now, after the onslaught of Nazi bombing and the emergence of the Computer Age, the ethereal character of the British imagination needed to stand and denounce the regimes of inhumanity. And this is basically the plot for every episode of Doctor Who. )

This outlandish sci-fi TV program is an extended Aesop's Fable exhorting humanity to wrest control of the technological future from its nihilistic enemies and submit the "system" to intelligent control at the hands of the naturalized human qualities of humour, love, compassionate survival, and delight in the mysteries and coincidences of the vast cosmic realm outlined in modern physics.

Hence the anthem-like quality of the song composed by Ron Grainer and first mixed by Delia Derbyshire in 1963. Classic primitive techno music.

It was re-mixed several times over the decades, allowing new generations of Sound Editors sense and articulate the spirit of the composition. The job of splicing all these variations together into a seamless whole which reveals the shared intrinsic quality of all fell to ReverseThePolarity, who purports to be Craig from Chelmsford.

Well, "Craig from Chelmsford," your excellent work has been noticed! How better to discover the secret of this powerful musical composition than by streaming it seamlessly into itself? After all, to reveal the common stream between many examples is the very technique of discovery itself.

The philosopher Heidegger said, basically -- art is whatever Artists do, artists are whomever produce Art. A loop of meaning. Do we give up? No. Instead we journey around the self-proving loop and allow the common essence to emerge into presence.

Martin Heidegger is exactly like Craig from Chelmsford.
