Jonathan Gibbs

"Jonathan Gibbs is the latest permanent recruit to the Workshop staff, having covered for Elizabeth Parker during her maternity leave, during which time he recorded music for 'Tales From The South China Seas'. He became a permanent member of the staff in 1983 and will be responsible for assimilating new items of equipment such as the Yamaha DX7"

"I've been working on a programme called 'An Alien's View Of Earth' which involves a lot of slow motion footage. The Yamaha DX7's been ideal for that, because it can produce some slowly developing organic sounds. In this studio I've also got a Roland Jupiter 4, a Yamaha CS40M and some Wavemaker modules with an EMS DK2 keyboard. The Yamaha was quite useful when we got it, because although it was only duophonic it had programmable pre-sets and a cassette dump for sounds. Elizabeth Parker did some of the sounds for Blake's Seven on it, which was one of the first things she did at the Workshop."
