I usually use 2 eggs one on high and one on medium , using two seperate frying pans, a matched pair of SDCs, and mix them on the way in, it creates a much fuller sound.The egg sound on this recording was a little thin IMO

I always heard for Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson used an LA-2A after letting the eggs come to room temperature before cooking.

There's a lot of talk ATM about the process not mattering and that it's the overall sound for the listener that counts, but also we are not a public service and it's important to have fun, dynamic and interesting processes for the creators in the studio too. I think we'll get back to a version of that philosophy soon actually maybe once everyone's totally bored of bedroom solo albums (post covid)

"Alan's Pyschedelic Breakfast" - Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother 1970. I like rooms with lots of old equipment - solidly built, the only digits are the numbers engraved on the control panels. I thought this video would show more on the electronic and music concrete aspects of the original Radiophonic Workshop, but I suppose there can be other videos.

Swap that egg for some firm tofu and im down with this. That recording sounded great for what its meant to be, nuanced lofi alt indie. Music can be made in many ways and essentially it's all just a stereo 2 track at the end but there's a lot of different ways to get there and the process must be fun and inspiring. I have lots of old cheap gear, tonnes of cheap guitar pedals, crappy multifxs, home keyboards, charity shop kids drum machines and I love them all, they all do at least one unique thing. I mostly use ableton/in the box but if i want to go all mad scientist for a session it's there and very often do.

Arguably, a "more Radiophonic" technique would be *not* to actually fry the egg, but to try to emulate the sounds of doing so by (for example) tipping the pan then laying it flat again (for that sudden rush of extra-vigourous sizzling), pushing the fat around with the spatula, and just riding the faders. Resorting to *actually* frying an egg is more akin to what a couple of RW members (plus friend) did for their freelance work, in the famous "Sod it, we've tried every acting and studio trick, and it *still* doesn't sound anything like a genuine orgy!" incident. =:o}

@@MichaelLenz1👊‼️ That's a very valid point as well... All the equipment can be off, i still love that smell. The music store has a distinct smell too. I love it when i need new guitar strings, because the atmosphere and smell in the music store and studio are pleasing. It's not like i'm hungrily in the spot sniffin' like a hound dog🤣🙌 but🤷there is an innate aroma that comes when machines are in a room together. An old car does not smell like a new one. And i appreciate the smell of an old 69 Charger just as much as i do a 2022 Ionic. If that makes me a weirdo, I'm ok with that. Period.👌🤣🙌🤣😁✌️🖤

People equate live performance with analog gear but that’s a matter of philosophy, not a matter of digital vs analog. This to me is the greatest flaw of the entire debate. Just like saying using analog gear does not equal a great take or capture, using digital gear does not equal lifeless recordings.

I'm very disappointed not to hear anything out of the ordinary, futuristic, avant-garde, dramatic, cinematic or even remotely surprising. All respect to young James and his singer songwriter talents, but I think a more appropriate artist would have given a much clearer sense of what a Radiophonic studio should be used for. Respect too to Martin and his great collection of vintage equipment but it really isn't about the gear. Apart from a few esoteric pieces of equipment the Radiophonic Workshop was just another recording studio. Put a musician in there who plays straight and the results would be indistinguishable from those recorded in any other well equipped, well staffed studio. Using a studio of notoriety in the the hopes that it will add gravitas to a regular recording is exactly the same trap as using specific recording gear because it has been attributed with mythical properties. Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Dick Mills, John Baker, Paddy Kingsland etc.etc. are so highly regarded because they conjured up strange, exciting, challenging, character filled aural delights again and again within a budget and a deadline. A little bit of this is what I expect to hear when someone has the audacity to borrow the word 'Radiophonic'.
