Anyone have any musical knowledge? If so perhaps you can answer this question:

Why does the Grampian ident (first one on the youtube clip) sound horribly flat about a third of the way in? Is there a key change or something.

nanochickin · 30-09-06, 03:23 PM

I think its just the recording to be honest. :?

Analoguesat · 30-09-06, 03:38 PM

Im not so sure - Ive heard it on a few of the clips over the years

Heres another labour of love from someone very bitter indeed at the loss of regional identity:

I lost all interest in TV idents when they took the potters wheel off BBC.

diapason · 01-10-06, 04:31 PM

Had a listen to the Grampian ident and it doesn't actully go flat about a third through, but there is an electronic sound underneath the basic theme tune which is "scooping" in a downward direction - not unlike the synthesised sound in the old "Dr. Who" signature tune. From a musician's point of view and one who tunes pipe organs, the overall effect does, I admit, sound as if the tune is about to collapse - but it's all deliberate. Think it was meant to be ever so slightly humourous.

Nah theres nothing humourous about Grampian TV.

I had to endure it for 8 years, aswell as Northsound Radio.

Could explain why i have kids now when i always said i didn't want any. Had to do something when there was nothing on the TV.

ops:

Mind you i do often miss "Chewin the Fat" and "Still Game". I now you can get BBC Scotland on Sky but i never seem to notice when its on.

Omigod! I was transported for a moment there! I loved Sale of the Century! I now have a noted fondness for all things kitsch. Could these be related?
