JLB: The Man Who Saw the Future (Original TV Documentary Soundtrack)
A 25 track tv soundtracks album (41m 3s) — released April 10th 2020 on Leman Productions Ltd
In January 1926, John Logie Baird became the first man in history to give a successful public demonstration of television. During WWII, with the help of one assistant, a part-time glassblower and a refugee from Germany, he built his masterpiece and swansong - the Telechrome. It was the foundation of all modern electronic colour television.
In a lifetime blighted with ill health, "JLB" - as he was known - produced 178 patents crucial to the technology that would define the 20th century. But since his early death in 1946, his achievements have been allowed to slip from view, obscured by ignorance about what he truly pioneered.
Few are aware that much of his greatest work was done in complete seclusion, in his personal laboratory and entirely at his own expense.
Filmed in the UK, USA and Germany between 1994 and 2002 and featuring previously unseen archive and historic eyewitness testimony led by his son Malcolm, this documentary reveals the unknown story of the central figure behind the most powerful technology on earth.
About The John Logie Baird Suite
The composer Paul Millns has been known since the late 60's to legions of fans as a gifted singer, songwriter and pianist, and for his work with an enviable roster of artists that includes; Alexis Korner, Eric Burdon, David Crosby, Bert Jansch, Elkie Brooks, John Mayall, John Martin and Denis LeCourier.
Arranger and conductor Birger Clausen studied classical music at the prestigious Freiburg Staatliche Hochschule fur Music, and graduated with an MA with distinction from the National Film and Television School in the UK.
This specially commissioned orchestral score is an inspired interpretation of Baird's scientific brilliance and his struggles with ruthless rivals, debilitating illness, and his utter determination to "see by wireless".
