Synthetic Dreams PodcastThomas DolbyThis very special book club edition of the Synthetic Dreams podcast features an interview with Thomas Dolby, who discusses his debut novel. 'Prevailing Wind', which was published back in April, via Archway Publishing.
Thomas Dolby, of course, needs little introduction, especially to fans of electronic music. He’s a true legend, a master of sound and technology.
It was great to speak to him in-length about ‘Prevailing Wind’, which I very much enjoyed reading this summer.
The story, set in 1913, follows the trials and tribulations of the Haskell brothers, who leave their poor fishing...

Despite being in the midst of recording Van Halen's 1991 album For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Eddie invited Dolby to his home studio to work on the songs, creating an experience Dolby likened to "a scene from Spinal Tap."

CooperTalkThomas Dolby - Episode 1,013Thomas Dolby came to prominence in the 1980s, releasing hit singles including “She Blinded Me with Science” (1982) and “Hyperactive!” (1984). He has also worked as a producer and as a session musician. He is associated with the new wave movement of the early 1980s, a form of pop music incorporating electronic instruments, but Dolby’s work covers a wide range of musical styles and moods distinct from the high-energy pop sound of his few, better-known commercial successes. In the 1990s, he founded Beatnik, a Silicon Valley software company which developed the polyphonic ringtone software and created the Nokia tune. Its technology...

Off The Record: David BowieBonus Episode: Thomas Dolby Recalls Backing David Bowie at Live Aid While a Billion People WatchedThe climax of our last chapter is David Bowie’s set at Live Aid in the summer of 1985 . Our guest today was alongside him on the Live Aid stage – and in the helicopter on the nerve-wracking ride out to Wembley Stadium. His name is Thomas Dolby, and his time with Bowie is just one entry on his extremely lengthy resume. On his twitter bio, he describes himself as a recovering synth enthusiast, but even that barely scratches the surface. He’s best known as a techno-pop pioneer who helped define the sound of New Wave with albums like 'The Golden...

Electronically Yours with Martyn WareEP13: Thomas DolbyThomas Dolby is a very interesting and surprisingly humble renaissance man and polymath. He has always combined a fascination with the future as a kind of geeky avatar, with a playful and highly commercial musical approach. Perhaps best known for blinding us with science, Thomas Dolby has always blurred the lines between composition and invention. As a London teenager, Tom Robertson was fascinated with the convergence of music and technology. His experiments with an assortment of keyboards, synthesizers and cassette players led his friends to dub him “Dolby.” That same fascination later drove him to become an electronic musician and mu...

What the Riff Next Gen1982 - April - Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age of WirelessWith this debut album Thomas Dolby merged a synth-driven electronica sound with the new wave sensibility cresting on the airwaves in the early 80's. The Golden Age of Wireless would follow a loose theme of radio and communication in its tracks. Thomas Morgan Robertson's affinity for keyboards, tapes, and electronics earned him the nickname "Dolby" from his friends, and he stuck with it for a stage name after a few legal documents from the Dolby Corporation. This debut album did well on both sides of the Atlantic, and several songs would become staples of both radio and video during...

This goes way beyond branching or crossfading stems of pre-mixed music: they will need to create adaptive music scores and orchestrations that respond in real time to user choices, game states, and arbitrary messages from the game engine. Armed with this knowledge, how can college educators compile the curriculum for a multi-year VR/Games music composition program in the face of technology and tools that are rapidly evolving?

But grown-up me was also excited to learn more about the inspiration Dolby took from the ’70s punk scene in London, and about the lessons he learned about himself and his craft while working as a technology entrepreneur in Silicon...
