TOOT for the Future!

‘TOOT for the Future’ Music/Video

In the run up to the State Government elections, with the intention of showing the community support for the return of train services to the Casino-Murwillumbah rail line, a music video project, ‘TOOT for the Future’ was created.

In February the song was recorded by Garth Kindred and the ‘TOOTERS’ at Old Dog Studios Corndale and on March 10th & 12th a video was shot at Lismore and Byron Bay Railway Stations by Paul Tait, David Bradbury and Brendan Shoebridge. This was edited by Andrew Bambach and Lydia Kindred, over three days, and it is now ready to be enjoyed.

Daphne Oram (1925-2003) was the co-founder and first director of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a sound effects and music studio established in the 1950s that had a vast influence on electronic music and synthesizer technology. At the BBC and after, Oram developed an incredible new kind of sound synthesis technology, called Oramics. The video above offers a glimpse of her Oramics synthesizer, purchased from a collector in 2009 and now under restoration at the Science Museum in London. From DaphneOram.org
