Basil Kirchin (August 8, 1927 - June 18, 2005) was a British drummer and composer. His career
stretched from playing drums in his father's Big band at the age of 13, through scoring films, to
experimenting with the manipulation of recorded sounds which has seen him cited as "the father
of ambient music".
Dubbed a "founding father of ambient music" by Brian Eno, Basil Kirchin’s influence on 20th-
century music is huge. Yet, for much of his life, he worked in almost total anonymity. Kirchin
started his drumming career at 13 years old in the 1940s. He’d play for eight hours a day and then
sleep in Warren Street Underground station as the Blitz roared above him. Playing with Ted
Heath (the bandleader) and his own father Ivor, he had several hits and was produced by a young
George Martin, who went on to produce The Beatles. He was twice voted jazz drummer of the
year by the NME and famous fans included Sean Connery and ElizabethTaylor.
Google great article about Kirchin on the BBC Radio 3 late Junction titled The quiet genius of Basil Kirchin
