The Berlin School of electronic music, or just Berlin School, is a development of electronic music in the 1970s characterized by soaring electric guitar or synthesizer melodies in high-register accompanied by complex, shifting sequencer bass ostinatos. Sound effects such as wind, and washes of Mellotron choir, flute, or strings are often added for color. Berlin School tracks typically run about twenty or thirty minutes, filling one side of a vinyl LP, and sound very much like the theme to the UK television show Doctor Who (which incidentally was constructed from tape recordings of oscillators in 1963 years before the invention of the Moog.)
