As seen.
A few weeks ago I did one of the Music Weeklies challenges but didn’t get the track finished fully by the deadline. So I’ve since filled it out a bit with bass, synth and effects as well as improving the mix a gnats.
Those of a certain age may remember me posting English speakers attempting their songs in another language on this very site. Now, due to no public demand whatsoever, a whole collection of them have been broadcast under the the ‘Loud Hailers’ imprint on Beachy Head Radio.
These are mainly by the original artist but with the odd cover version thrown in for variety.
Possibly more of a background listen than the last one as many will be familiar and the foreign language the only novelty. I’ve included the original English title as we go along as well as the language or languages sung.

Are the bagpipes too much?
If you’re feeling generous this Music Weeklies challenge entry on the theme Hope & Despair might be described as organised sound. It is perhaps unlikely to be a crossover hit.
Featuring a number of recordings I’ve had lying around for some years including: violinist warming up in corridor, men shouting in field, Cancer Research Race For Life crowd on route, whine of wind through window, bagpiper at wedding, stuttering media player stream, and many more.
The video is an M-Project visualisation which is based on the old WinAmp add on. I would credit which one but foolishly didn’t write it down at the time and now can’t find it again amongst the thousands of presets.
Abandon all hope ye who enter here…
Apologies for repeating myself as I did throw bagpipes on a track in ’88. That led to Test Department’s Alistair Adams joining us on stage for rendition of said tune. Not as unlikely as it may seem – he was going out with our bass player’s neighbour.
Music Weeklies / Monthly have something of a monopoly on the Because It Was There series currently and continuing that trend is this ditty in answer to their prompt to write something your teenage self would like. As luck would have it at that age I liked simple tracks that were little more than a riff and some noodlin’.
The first collection of Themed Music as part of a short series of compilations for Beachy Head Radio.
It streamed on 11th May and can now be found here.
All the music in this compilation was written by Ryuichi Sakamoto, alone or in collaboration. He was often also the Producer, Arranger, Performer or any combination of those roles. A handy utility player.
I wouldn’t qualify anywhere near the front of a grid of Sakomotorists and have but un peu de Japanese so there may well be errors below. I have though gone to the original releases for confirmation as far as possible.
*C* Composer
*P* Producer
*A* Arranger
*M* Performer
*G* Programmer
*X* Mixer
The prefix *c-* indicates a shared credit, eg. *c-P* = Co-Producer

Continuing the relentless pace of releases here’s one for the Cosmic Bos Monthly Music Challenge on the theme of Winning – though I have of course reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.
I dragged some chords down from the ideas mountain for the main part of the track whilst the initial ‘Winning is Everything’ section came about by chance from coming across the brass sound whilst mucking around on guitar synth.
The melody for this largely made up playing guitar with a violin bow but it would have taken practising ’til a week next Tuesday to get it to sound how I wanted so I went with the inductive string driver feedback circuit instead, aka. Ebow..
