Review by It_must_swing May 05, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
A God of electronic..err..music. He did the incidental music / sounds for the very first Dalek story in Dr. Who. If you love or hate the program you should still try to see that video and listen carefully to the sparse and carefully judged music which adds so much menace and atmosphere. I'm convinced that the program would never have been such a hit had they got a lesser person to do the music.

He learnt to love weird sounds as a radio operator in the war. He also did some of the Quatermass music - brilliant as always.

He's got a couple of albums out that I know of - the soundtrack to the Daleks, along with some other bits, and another double CD called Soundings, containing works of his from several decades.

He also crops up on Hammer film music compilations and stuff like that.

Anyone who wants to create music with feel should listen to T.Cary - he KNOWS what scares you, children. Uncle Tristram KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
