Tomorrow's Morning Edition on NPR will have a segment on the electronic
score for "Forbidden Planet" and the husband-and-wife team who created it. Love Louis and Bebe! In one of its rare moments of good sense, AMPAS gave them a special award. By the way, the soundtrack is available on GNP Crescendo. |

Believe it or not, I've got it. Believe it or not, I even listen to it occasionally. : ) "Forbidden Planet" is in my top 5. I dug my copy out and listened to most of it. It's remarkable music by any standards, not even considering how difficult it was to create electronic music in the mid-'50s. |

I've had the CD for some years -- I and my son both love it; wife hates it. Several years ago, in fooling around with some of the computer programs which came with "The Sound Blaster Book", I found I was able to use some math functions to produce some sounds which were somewhat reminiscent of certain of the sounds from "Forbidden Planet". It occurred to me at the time how really time-consuming and difficult it must have been in the mid-50's to produce those sounds; I have a great admiration for what the Barrons achieved. Is anyone aware of sources of more detailed information on how they accomplished their work? I look forward to the Morning Edition segment, though I'll have to pick it up from their audio archive pages after tomorrow. -- Steve Hehr To send me email, replace the "OUT" in my address with its opposite. |

Is anyone aware of sources of more detailed information on how they accomplished their work? Yes. Louis B. was interested in cybernetics and what he and Bebe did was to create little electronic circuits that would feed back on themselves in various ways and eventually burn out, producing interesting sounds in the process. They recorded these sounds and then did standard tape manipulation with them plus reverb. (Mark Steven Brooks/Elaterium Music) |
