DESCRIPTION:
Tutors often advise their students at music colleges to write slow music. It's easier. There are fewer notes, and a five minute piece can be a straightforward proposition. On Doctor Who, particularly in Series 2, the characters would usually end up running frantically round building, roads, and air-ducts about 25 minutes into each episode and not stop until just before the credits rolled and their lungs burst. This meant lots of notes; tumbling semi quavers and strong rhythms. This is the music from one such chase sequence which ended in Sir Robert MacLeish's observatory. Of all the startling magic weaved by Will Cohen, David Houghton and their visual effects team at The Mill, their Werewolf in 'Tooth and Claw' was perhaps the most audacious and impressive. - Murray Gold
