Liz Parker's Radiophonic Studio |
| Description |
*****STOP PRESS - SATURDAY NOV 6th*****
NEW START PRICE £18 plus VAT, AND OF COURSE NO RESERVE.
***NB there is now an extra item - Liz's main studio computer (G4 dual processor, 40GB + 230GB, 512 RAM); but the film she is using the studio for has over-run by two weeks, and she will not be able to dismantle the studio until the last week of November***
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY! Ex-BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Blake's Seven, The Living Planet) and current film and TV composer Elizabeth Parker is selling the famous circular studio she took with her from the BBC when the RW was disbanded. **PLUS VAT in the EC /UK!**
The studio is virtually complete, including nearly all the equipment she has been using on a regular basis in her profession - up to and including a film project she is finishing in the first half of November before the studio is dismantled. Just add a mother keyboard, mastering, monitoring, and video, and you have virtually the complete set-up used for prestigious projects like the BBC's World Cup coverage, The Human Body, Weird Nature, Animal Olympics, the Monty Python Holy Grail DVD, Michael Palin TV series, etc. etc.
See http://www.elizabeth-parker.co.uk/ , and also search at
http://www.soundonsound.com/ for the Sound on Sound interview from February 2001 which goes into a lot of detail about the studio.
The custom woodwork and cabling alone is believed to have cost £4500 in the late 1980s, and is probably one of the most famous studio designs in the world. When it was removed from the BBC, the installation and re-design at Liz's private studio was masterminded by Rupert Brun, one of the BBC's most highly respected engineers. Full documentation is included in the sale.
Removal and/or packing and shipping is a serious task, so please bear that in mind before bidding. VEMIA will assist at cost if you need.

1. The studio desk, custom made for the Radiophonic Workshop, out of limed Ash. (Buyer dismantles and collects). Complete with a vast quantity of high-quality cabling, with every cable, jack, phono and XLR numbered and labelled by Rupert Brun, with full diagrams, spreadsheets, etc..
