ABOUT YOUR HOST – DR. PHILL: My name is Dr. Phillip Serna – you can call me Dr. Phill as many of my colleagues, friends and students do. I’m a performer and teacher here in the Chicago area where I received my Master & Doctoral degrees in Music at Northwestern University. On double bass I perform solo, chamber, orchestral and contemporary literature. I am also a performer of Early Music on viols – or violas da gamba – a family of bowed guitars that were popular in Europe from the 15th through the late 18th centuries.
On double bass, I perform with many ensembles including the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra, Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, Illinois Symphony Orchestra, New Philharmonic Orchestra, Northbrook Symphony Orchestra, the Northshore Camerata, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, Memphis Symphony Orchestra, and many others. In Early Music, I regularly perform on violas da gamba (treble viol, tenor viol and bass viol), period double bass/ violone and vielle with modern orchestras such as the Concord Chamber Orchestra and the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, as well as with period instrument ensembles such as Ars Antigua, the Bach Collegium of Fort Wayne, the Callipygian Players, the Chicago Early Music Consort, Duo fantaisie en Echo, the Madison Bach Musicians, the Newberry Consort, the Oriana Singers, the Second City Musick, the Spirit of Gambo – a Chicago Consort of Viols, the Third Coast Viols and many others. In performance, I’ve appeared on Chicago’s 98.7FM WFMT, Wisconsin Public Radio and Milwaukee Public Radio. My Early Music Outreach program ‘Viols in Our Schools’ was the recipient of the 2010 Early Music America Outreach Award, which honors ensembles or individual artists for excellence in early music outreach and/or educational projects for children or adults.

Episode 22 – Alistair Lock Unbound – Part II – Alistair Lock Interview Part II

ABOUT YOUR HOST: My name is Dr. Phillip Serna – you can call me Dr. Phill as many of my colleagues, friends and students do. I’m a performer and teacher here in the Chicago area where I received my Master & Doctoral degrees in Music at Northwestern University. On double bass I perform solo, chamber, orchestral and contemporary literature. I am also a performer of Early Music on viols – or violas da gamba – a family of bowed guitars that were popular in Europe from the 15th through the late 18th centuries.
ABOUT OUR SERIES GUEST: Alistair Lock demonstrated a talent for the audio medium at an early age, spending most of his childhood playing with tape recorders, as well as honing his keen interest in music and theatre. Having acquired a thorough education in radio production, Alistair went on to greater things, working as producer, sound designer and actor for Audio Visuals, which came out with a number of independent Doctor Who stories after the television series went off the air. At the same time, Alistair also developed an interest in Blake’s 7, working with Alan Stevens to produce the behind-the-scenes documentary ‘Travis: the Final Act’ and two spinoff radio plays set in the Blake’s 7 universe, ‘The Mark of Kane’ and ‘The Logic of Empire.’
More recently, Alistair has done tireless music, acting and production work for BBV’s Doctor Who spinoff audio plays, notably ‘The Island of Lost Souls’ and ‘Zygons: Absolution,’ as well as their videos, including ‘The Airzone Solution,’ ‘More than a Messiah’ and the ‘Autons’ series. He also did post-production work on the well-received UNIT video story, ‘Downtime.’ He has supplied theme music for a number of science-fiction conventions, including his famous remix of Madonna’s ‘Open Your Heart’ with the Doctor Who theme for Panopticon, and produced a number of plays on his own. Alistair is probably best known, however, for his work on Mgic Bullet Productions’ Kaldor City audios as well as Big Finish Productions’ series of officially-licensed Doctor Who audio plays, which more than one reviewer has described as ‘cinematic.’
ABOUT OUR THEME: The theme to ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC is a remix by Isaac Arsenault. Isaac started mashingup music in the winter of ’09, After reading Jordan Roseman’s “Audio Mashup Construction Kit.” Working with sound Equipment and being technical leader for two bands he opened his taste for music by studying it mathematically and learning the science behind it.

Episode 21 – Alistair Lock Unbound – Part I – Alistair Lock Interview Part I
In this episode we’ll be featuring the first part in a series focusing on the work of Big Finish Doctor Who composer and sound designer Alistair Lock, recorded the 6th of December, 2010.
ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/
ABOUT YOUR HOST: My name is Dr. Phillip Serna – you can call me Dr. Phill as many of my colleagues, friends and students do. I’m a performer and teacher here in the Chicago area where I received my Master & Doctoral degrees in Music at Northwestern University. On double bass I perform solo, chamber, orchestral and contemporary literature. I am also a performer of Early Music on viols – or violas da gamba – a family of bowed guitars that were popular in Europe from the 15th through the late 18th centuries.
ABOUT OUR SERIES GUEST: Alistair Lock is a well-respected audio professional best known for his work on the all-new Blake’s 7 audio adventures and the Big Finish Productions’ series of officially-licensed Doctor Who audio plays, which more than one reviewer described as ‘cinematic.’ His association with Blake’s 7 dates back to when he was the director/sound designer on Magic Bullet’s controversial Kaldor City series, an ultra-violent tale of power, sex and intrigue inspired by Blake’s 7. He is now perhaps best known as the voice of the synthetic intelligence known only as Zen.
Prior to this, he worked on a number of independent Doctor Who stories produced during the television series’ hiatus. Credits include BBV’s Doctor Who spin-off audio plays, notably “Republica” and “Prosperity Island”, along with direct-to-video releases, including “The Airzone Solution”, “More than a Messiah” and the “Auton” trilogy series. He also did post-production sound effects on the popular UNIT video story “Downtime”, supplying radio jingle music, computer voices and ruining his throat doing yetis., Alistair is also an accomplished composer and has provided scores for Sapphire & Steel, Doctor Who and Bennie Summerfield audio adventures. Other music credits include the infamous remix of Madonna’s Open Your Heart.
Alistair Lock demonstrated a talent for the audio medium at an early age, spending a lot of his childhood playing with tape recorders, as well as honing his keen interest in music and theatre.

Alistair is a very capable actor and an excellent director as well as a genius at sound design and music. He has come a long way from the days when post-production was a difficult and cumbersome task involving yards of reel-to-reel or cassette tape to the present world of sophisticated computers and digital formats. His professionalism and level-headedness in the studio are well-known, as is his sterling reputation which he has built up through quiet competence alone.
BONUS MUSIC
Many thanks to Alistair Lock who has generously allowed us to include one of his cues from his score to the Big Finish Doctor Who Unbound story Auld Mortality.

Episode 16 – The Empathy Games of Nigel Fairs
In this episode we’ll be featuring an interview with Doctor Who actor, author and audio producer Nigel Fairs, focusing on his work composing and working as sound designer for Big Finish Productions, recorded the 27th of November, 2010 at the Chicago TARDIS convention.
ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/

He currently works for Big Finish Productions, as a composer, and was the producer of their Sapphire and Steel and The Tomorrow People ranges.

In 2007, he contributed to the short-story collection Short Trips: Snapshots. Prior to his work for Big Finish, he was a regular writer and director for BBV.

Episode 13 – The Parallel Lives of Simon Guerrier
In this episode we’ll be featuring an interview with Doctor Who author and editor Simon Guerrier, focusing on his work writing for BBC Books and working for Big Finish Productions, recorded the 27th of November, 2010 at the Chicago TARDIS convention.
ADVENTURES IN TIME, SPACE AND MUSIC IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE DOCTOR WHO PODCAST ALLIANCE: http://www.doctorwhopodcastalliance.org/
ABOUT OUR GUEST: Simon Guerrier is a British science fiction author and dramatist, closely associated with the fictional universe of Doctor Who and its spinoffs. Although he has written three Doctor Who novels, for the BBC Books range, his work has mostly been for Big Finish Productions’ audio drama and book ranges.
Guerrier’s earliest published fiction appeared in Zodiac, the first of Big Finish’s Short Trips range of Doctor Who short story anthologies. To date, his work has appeared in the majority of the Short Trips collections. He has also edited three volumes in the series, The History of Christmas, Time Signature and How The Doctor Changed My Life. The second of these takes as its starting-point Guerrier’s short story An Overture Too Early in The Muses, and explains its background, with considerable elaboration and digression along the way. The third anthology featured stories entirely by previously unpublished writers.
After contributing two stories to the anthology Life During Wartime in Big Finish’s Bernice Summerfield range of books and audio dramas, Guerrier was invited to edit the subsequent year’s short story collection, A Life Worth Living, and the novella collection Parallel Lives. After contributing two audio dramas to the series, Guerrier became the producer of the Bernice Summerfield range of plays abd books, a post he held between January 2006 and June 2007.
His other Doctor Who work includes the audio dramas, The Settling and The Judgement of Isskar, in Big Finish’s Doctor Who audio range, three Companion Chronicles and a contribution to the UNIT spinoff series. He has also written a play in Big Finish’s Sapphire and Steel range.Guerrier’s work is characterised by character-driven humour and by an interest in unifying the continuity of the various Big Finish ranges through multiple references and reappearances of characters. As editor he has been a strong promoter of the work of various script writers from the Seventh Doctor era of the Doctor Who television series.
