Notes

Television series producer Richard Bates explains how Ken Freeman came to work on the show:
"In the late 1970's I was getting close to achieving my ambition to produce a television series based on John Christopher's award-winning trilogy 'The Tripods'. Whilst I certainly had made no plans about who might adapt or direct the series, I had made up my mind about the composer - not that I yet knew his identity!
I had recently become intrigued by a television commercial for BMW. The visuals showed a sleek car moving through a grave yard of earlier models which were buried nose down in the ground. It was an eerie image but the music had an extraordinary quality - a mix of sounds, some cacophonous, some musical, some unworldly. I knew that this would be the sort of music track I wanted for 'The Tripods'.
But who was this composer? Where did he live? Was he perhaps German? Or American? An international figure who otherwise wrote lavish scores for expensive movies? I set out to track him down from my newly established office at BBC Television in London. Much to my surprise he didn't work beside a sunny pool in California, but from a house in Greenford a short distance away. He wasn't - yet - an international figure but a modest, committed composer with an exceptional ear for combining electronic wizardry with the practised talent of creative musicianship. His name was Ken Freeman.
The television series went on to win its plaudits and criticisms around the world, but whatever its shortcomings nobody has ever questioned the quality, originality and appropriateness of Ken Freeman's exceptional music track."
