So you’re telling me \u003cstrong\u003eRon Geesin\u003c\/strong\u003e made this kooky electro groovy score to a really progressive maths educational programme on Central TV in 1980 and it’s musically anarchic and amazing and it’s never been issued before? Until now. Wow again!!!! And there’s 30 tracks!!! \u003cstrong\u003eTrunk Records\u003c\/strong\u003e we love you...\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBasic Maths\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e was the second educational TV Series for the Midlands-based \u003cstrong\u003eITV\u003c\/strong\u003e station for which I composed, played and recorded all music and noises. The first series, also for budding mathematicians in the 7-10 age group, was Leapfrog in 1978 produced by \u003cstrong\u003eATV\u003c\/strong\u003e (Associated Television): Basic Maths was for the newly-formed Central Television, the work spanning 1980-1981; both series were of twenty-eight parts.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe most worthy idea for both of these series was to project mathematics into life by means mainly of non-verbal sound and vision, with both animated and live action films, linked by two presenters, \u003cstrong\u003eFred Harris\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMary Waterhouse\u003c\/strong\u003e. In my role as Media Composer, I had had quite enough of voice overs, therefore music well under, so this fairly radical educational approach at the time encouraged my creative juices to run unhindered. Of course the sound had to do something with the picture and not just use it as a carrier for peacock display. It had to duet, play with and explain the visual content using novel and engaging techniques, so this involved the usual and sometimes intricate mathematical calculations which constantly exercised my already reasonable school maths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trunk","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":48225519960409,"sku":"SDZ-29959","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Ron_Geesin_-_Basic_Maths__Soundtrack_From_The_1981_TV_Series_-_LP_Vinyl_-_2024.jpg?v=1713796636","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/ron-geesin-basic-maths-soundtrack-from-the-1981-tv-series","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
