John Baker
Location: Date Of Birth : 1 Jan. 1937 Date Of Death: 1 Jan. 1997 Associated Labels : Sega Additional Information: John Baker was a musician and composer who worked in jazz and electronic music. He was educated at the Royal Academy of Music where he studied piano and composition. In 1960 he joined the BBC as a sound mixer, before transferring, in 1963, to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop where he remained until 1974. He was the most prolific of the early Workshop composers, where he specialised in reverse tape effects. A jazz pianist, he brought a sense of rhythm to the Workshop which some of the other more mathematical composers lacked. His work included many signature tunes for BBC television, the soundtrack for the video game Toejam and Earl, and radio. He was also particularly interested in combining recorded electronic music with live musicians. Upload a new song by this artist Last Updated: 2 Oct. 2012 Added By: BadAnimal |
