OFF: BBC sound pioneer dies

[William Duffy]

The later albums were more in the style of Tangerine Dream, whereas the
first album is rather hard to describe. It uses the same techniques that the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop used back in the 60's, with lots of sampled sounds
being processed.

One of the tracks from this album was used on the soundtrack to the Hammer
film Dracula Ad 1972. It's the music used when the young people are having a
séance in the ruins of an old church.

White Noise is David Vorhaus, & he has others working with him on occasions
as well. The first album also has Brian Hodgson on it (another member of the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop), & was released around 1969.
