RIP Tristram Cary
The father of electronic music wore tweed jackets, had a refined English accent and smoked a pipe.
Tristram Cary, who has died in Adelaide, aged 82, came up with the idea
of electronic and tape music while a naval radar officer during World
War II.
Mr Cary is renowned for composing the theme for the television
sci-fi series Dr Who and co-designing a synthesiser used by rock
artists including Pink Floyd, The Who and Roxy Music.
He founded the electronic music studio at London's Royal College of
Music in 1967 and, seven years later, migrated to Australia to
establish a similar studio at the University of Adelaide's Elder
Conservatorium of Music.
The conservatorium's head of music technology studies, Stephen
Whittington, said Mr Cary's contribution to music was "impossible to
quantify".
"He laid the foundations," Mr Whittington said today.
"Without him, we wouldn't have techno, hip-hop or any kind of music which is sustained by technology."
