This is the very show that convinced a 10 year old me that my life would only be complete with my own home studio!
Enjoy!

For me it was a Saturday morning a few years earlierā¦
I worked out that the same singer had double-tracked her voice, so they must have wound the tape back and made a second recording somehow.
And that āsomehowā has fascinated me ever since.
Iām sure it was my little sister who was really watching āWhite Horsesā every Saturday morning.

A lovely theme song. Double track vocals and guitar parts and yet it still sounds light and airy, the separate guitar takes make a strange clicking rhythm. Fab stuff.
In one of my earliest gigs we did the Flashing Blade theme which was a riot.

Ah, nostalgia. Robinson Crusoe, Captain Zeppos, and even the Singing, Ringing Tree. Add in some home-grown originals such as Vision On, and childrenās television in the sixties was a wild ride.
I did my first audio experiments in what George Martin called āartificial double-trackingā using cassette recorders. By coincidence, I chose a scene from The Flashing Blade. I think that was the time I accidentally discovered phase distortion.

I had George Martinās book, Making Music, as a youngster and discovered the playback technique could be āenhancedā by adjusting the speed of the recorder or playback to flatten up the sound. Then my Dad caught me using my finger to slow his work Uher reel to reel and my days of āmusic concreteā were abruptly, and painfully ended.
