Four Day Music Challenge ~ Theme is SCIENCE
Ends Friday Feb 10th, 8pm South Oz Time give or take.
NO EMBEDDED VIDEOS OR IMAGES PLEASE This is to accomodate those on slow or mobile internet connections. Any embedded videos entered will be deemed invalid.
The poster of the video which has received the most kudos at the end wins the challenge. The winner chooses the next theme, starts a new thread, hosts it, and declares the eventual new winner with the most kudos, with the winning entry post number and song details.
If a winner of a theme does not claim the win for whatever reason after 24 hours, the host can nominate a new winner, the next in line, second best scorer... the same guides apply for ties, if the next in line are tied.
In the event of a tie, the host can choose a winner e.g. which entry he/she favours, earliest entry, or which best suits the theme, etc.
If a duplicate version of a song (even if with a different video URL link) happens to be posted in error, the earliest post takes precedence.
As a winner, you can copy and paste this head info post into the new thread (Remember to update the end date and time!...) In this way the challenge threads can be self running (no other prizes, sorry...)
All are welcome to take part, even if you don't post a video yourself - just kudo the posted videos you like. If you are technically challenged and don't know how to post a video link (don't worry, you will not be the first), just ask, and someone will guide you
Solved! Go to Solution.

Telstar ~ The Tornados
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el9zA00dIhg
On a scruffy part of North London’s Holloway Road there is a black metal plaque. It reads simply: “Joe Meek, record producer - "The Telstar Man", pioneer of sound recording technology, lived, worked and died here.”
Behind those words lies an extraordinary and tragic 1960's tale... Operating from his home-built studio, he pioneered recording techniques such as sampling and overdubbing, all on handmade machines he invented and wired up himself. He produced and recorded a succession of hits at his flat, despite the fact that he couldn’t read music or play an instrument...
He was not afraid to improvise - Meek’s speciality was an innovative use of whatever was available to generate the right sound. To create the distinctive roar of a rocket taking off in Telstar, he recorded the sound of his toilet being flushed, and then played the tape backwards at a slower speed...
