BBC News theme composer breaks down the song on 25th anniversary. #Music #Composer #BBCNews

hi exactly 25 years ago I created the BBC News theme and I did it with this sound the Baseline gives a sense of strength and solidity and depth then added some more drums to enhance that bass drum kick and some high hat then we wanted a big sound for the headlines I came up with this big drum and we can use that on every headline and then I wanted some cords when cords are tricky they got to be neutral we started minor going to Major is that sense of anxiety going to calmness and then it was a case of adding some top layers to that and coming out to the fade and that’s the biggest use thing

  1. 00 I am your sister from Yemen. By God, I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my sisters, and I have been displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that no one knows about Oh God, God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who have brought us to this situation ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” I swear to God that I did not write this appeal out of distress and poverty, O worldย ย  Please feel for us. By God Almighty, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, he is the only one who eats what I have at home. By God, my brothers, they are sitting on my mind And there is no food. By God, our situation is very difficult. We are 6 people.He entered the house. My father died, and there is no one to support us. We live in a rented house, so we cannot pay the remaining rent. ''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''' '''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' For me, my brother, my first words are: By God and the Book of God, I will not lie to you and I will not lie to you. I do not deceive you and I will not deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I are among us. It was 15 thousand Yemenis per month, and now we have 45 thousand due over 3 months, and the owner of the house is not merciful. By God, my brother, he comes every day and insults us and talks about us and wants us to move from the house to the street because we could not pay him rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back to talk to them and gave us the weekend. We swore to God. This brings us to the street. Be merciful. And we. Our country because of this warI cannot find food for the day and I am living. My sisters and I are young. Our father has passed away, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world beside us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers go out to the street and see the neighbors eating and stand at their door to give them bread even if they break it. By God, who has the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, the universe, they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying. They died of it. No one will have mercy on everyone and give them a refund. You would have made a living, and now blame someone for helping us with a kilo of flour. I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then you need help for the sake of God. I implore you, by God, you love goodness and will help me. WhatsApp me on this number 00967779509554 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and I will compensate you. God is good. He helped us and saved us before they expelled us on the street. We became weak or starved of hunger. My family and I are blessed by God. If you are able to help, do not be late for us.May God reward you well,.,.,:^:;^:๐ŸŽ‰ยฐ~ยฐ~^~ยฐ^ฯ€โˆš^ฯ€โˆš~ฯ€~โˆš~โˆš~ฯ€^~^~ฯ€~ฯ€~โˆšโˆš~~ฯ€ฯ€~ ฯ€โˆš~~^^ยฐ^ยฐโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌโ‚ฌ……..๐ŸŽ‰..๐ŸŽ‰.๐ŸŽ‰.๐ŸŽ‰.First, I say to those who say that I am a fraud, my brother.

  2. Love love love this theme! Where's the 25th anniversary remix album??? Lots of different variants of this theme across BBC sub channels as well. This is perfect new music for the apocalyptic rave of reality!

  3. I'm continually impressed by the level of nuance in this discussion. It's clear that everyone here has thought deeply about the topic at hand.๐Ÿงก

  4. Donโ€™t forget the old telephone engaged โ€˜PIP tone from the 1950/60โ€™s being used over the top of everything throughout the piece ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘

  5. Hi, I hope it's okay to ask, could you please add a warning for the flashing lights in this video please? Thank you so much!

  6. Why does the Chinese government monopolize media and close comments? Because it makes it easier for the Chinese government to falsify traffic, falsify big data, and engage in information corruption! Maliciously excluding competitors! Vicious competition!

  7. "…and I did it with this sound…the bass line, gives a sense of strength, and solidity, and depth…then I did some more drugs to enhance that." …what? ๐Ÿ˜…
