Whomix Radio: Recent Episodes
None
Remixes and Rearrangements of the Doctor Who theme composed by Ron Grainer and realized by Delia Derbyshire.
Have you ever wished the theme tune would go for the length of AN ENTIRE EPISODE?
Then we have the whomix for you. Party like it's 1986 … for 26 minutes!
Each "fold" is subtly different, as it goes from 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 etc.
Composed by Ron Grainer
Arranged by Dominic Glynn
Remixed by Danny Stewart
Supercut by Christian Kent
Danny's "DG Constellation Mix" was so refined and more-ish, that I kept putting it on a loop.
it's got some big finish 8th doctor vibes with the more elusive melody and some 80s stuff in the middle eight and i tried to make the bass a bit derby-ish while still remaining modern :) (i hope the id tags came out alright)
A slight recreation/remix of the theme from 'Destiny of the Doctor's. I've used various pieces of the Derbyshire Multitracks (constructed by me) and a couple samples from the actual PC theme itself. For the bassline and backing tracks, I've created that all myself to sound close to the bassline in the theme but more traditional 'Delia'. I think it sounds better like that anyway. ;) Enjoy!
I have made a Doctor Who theme remix to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1980's Doctor Who era.
I am submitting this new remix to your site. A version I did back in 2008 (under the name DistantJ) is floating around the internet and I found out recently that people had been looking for me, so I decided to make a new version.
Hey. Don't know if this website is still open to submissions. But I figured it wouldn't hurt to try and submit. This is a remix I made which incorporates elements of heavy modern day EDM in it. Because I figured the site needs more of that. xD
Please find attached my submission for whomix. It's intended as a tribute to the Peter Howell arrangement to accompany my version of the title sequence from 1982. You can see the video of the title sequence here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0fqP4z-rAk
Hi, I'm Joseph Mollohan III and this is the theme I made for my youtube channel, here's the link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3BPZFyRV6EZ2iX7UneLzow basically it's the Doctor Who theme but in violin, hence the ridiculous title. Please enjoy.
“...Where are we, Doctor?”
“Definitely somewhere on Earth, Ace. 1988, I think...? But something's different about it...”
Suddenly the Doctor ducks to avoid a random discharge of electricity aimed at his finger. He turns around, and running towards him is... an adorable, cuddly Pikachu!?
What would happen if the T.A.R.D.I.S. landed in the Kanto region? Well, I imagine that it would start a bit like this...
I created this simple retro mix as a way of celebrating the 20th anniversary of Pokémon on the 27th of February this year. Happy Pokémon Day, everyone :D (even though this could easily be ridiculously early/late xD)
Did this for a friend’s audio drama years ago (which never got made). Hopefully you’ll appreciate it. Thanks!
Crunchy Who’ was the last one by the way.
But, in a totally different vain, here is an attempt to be as faithful as possible - up until the Doctorin The Tardis drums kick in - but the twist is, the tune is being synthesized live by a £4 Raspberry Pi Zero, with a 99p USB audio interface thingie. Description (lifted from my SoundCloud page) -
This track has 8 Virtual Analog monosynths, one wavetable synth (polysynth but with polyphony set to 1 as I am somewhat lax with the noteOff messages throughout!) and a single sample replay synth for the Tardis takeoff effect.
The VAsynths are :
Channel 1 : kick/tom - noise, bandpass filtered slightly resonant, and an EG to shape the amplitude
Channel 2 : snare (same setting as 1 but up the scale)
Channel 3 : the old faithful 'Martyn Ware Glitterclap' - these 3 are not exactly canonical but I wanted to add in a blast of "Human League do Gary Glitter / Doctorin the Tardis" for the outro. This is a burst of noise modulated by a square wave LFO, shaped by an EG to become a decaying train of noise pulses, bandpass filtered and quite resonant to emphasise the clappiness
Channels 4 and 5 - a pair of Radiophonic Wobulators, sin waves which warm up (some Phase Distortion, some morphing to slightly square) under a slow ramping EG, which also ramps up the LFO amplitude that is FM and AMing them. These have a bend range of +- 24 semitones for the giant 2 octave swoops
Channel 6 - the diddly dum bass riff. This is really velocity sensitive, both in amplitude and in brightness. OSCB gets louder under velocity, and both OSCs sharpen up under hard bashing - the 'fine pitch' modulation output is hooked into a fast EG. So really hard hits sound like plucked strings, sharpening immediately under tension then going true very quickly
Channel 7 - bass slurp for the grace notes - a slightly less bright version of the riff, and with a larger reverb send amount to distance it
Channel 8 - is a noise generator and bandpass filter with resonance to be played manually (hence hamfisted noises throughout), with heavy feedback delay to add SFX swishy whooshy things - really spacey, dude!
Channel 9 - wavetable synth for the 'melodica' melodic notes
Channel 10 - EXTERMINATE! Samples, for the heck of it
Plus 4 delays with low pass filters and independent LR delays, levels and feedback levels, plus a stereoizing reverb engine.
Can you believe it - 10 synths, 8 of them virtual analog, on £4.99 of computer hardware. 2016 is an insane place to be.
Enjoy.
Here are two slightly different versions of the same composition.
This is a completely new take on the Doctor Who theme - it uses no samples, nor any “rips” from any current Doctor Who themes, classic or new, or remix. This was built from the ground up.
The story behind this piece is I found myself asking the question, “what if David Lowe, composer of the BBC Countdown” had got his hands on Doctor Who and had composed a piece to be used in a similar way?” In other words - what if Doctor Who was introduced with a countdown like the BBC news is introduced?
So I got to work, experimenting and playing, and this is what I came up with.
There’s a video of the “pips” version, here:

This is my remix of Dominic Glynn's 1986 Doctor Who theme. My goal was to make it darker, but at the same time, more upbeat. I used FL Studio 11 for the theme, and GarageBand for the "sting." Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for the "music video." Enjoy!
Having asked what it would be like if Vangelis did a Doctor Who theme, the next reasonable question was ... what if one of the other greats of electronic music did one too? I tried to do as accurate a recreation as I could of JMJ's style circa Oxygene or Équinoxe. Synths used were: the Kontakt 5 Player's CR-78 drum machine, Rhythmus Korg Minipops 7 Emulator, Arturia's ARP 2600 and Prophet V VSTis, SuperWave Equinoxe, EMS Synthi A and DVI Mellotron. This one has a video viewable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjH5tPlnV_k Enjoy!
Hello one and all! This is a cover I did a while ago. Based on a dream I had where Vangelis at the height of his powers (around Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner) did a cover of the Dr Who theme. When I woke, I had to recreate it! It incorporates melodic elements from the Peter Howell and Dominic Glynn versions and a bit of Murray Gold in terms of percussion. I also did a video to go with it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY4SwBHe8oE Enjoy!
Hello! I've been a big fan of the site for a while now, and this if my first submission. It's for a Doctor Who fan audio play which is currently in pre-production. As it's in the style of a 1940s radio play, and a big film noir homage to boot, it seemed fitting to do a swinging jazz arrangement of the theme tune. Enjoy!
