Beacons
Mildly psychedelic, indie pop, folk music. Lovingly arranged using modern and traditional techniques and a bit of this and that. Performed live by a collected cast of hipsters and layabouts.

Tristram Cary
Cary was educated at Westminster School in London, England and is the son of a pianist and the novelist, Joyce Cary, author of Mister Johnson. While working as a radar engineer for the British Navy during World War II, he independently developed his own conception of electronic and tape music, and is regarded as amongst the earliest pioneers of these musical forms. Following the war he created one of the first electronic music studios, later travelling around Europe to meet the small numbers of other early pioneers of electronic music and composition.

BBC Radiophonic Workshop
The BBC Radiophonic Workshop was one of the sound effects departments of the bbc (British Broadcasting Corporation), which was created in 1958 in order to create new effects and music for radio programmes, and was closed in March 1998. By that time, most of their traditional work had been outsourced to other companies. They were based in the BBC's Maida Vale studios in London, gradually growing outwards from the then legendary Room 13. The techniques and music that they produced has made the department one of the biggest influences on electronic music then and today.
