Recreation of the 1987 The New Statesman theme tune. I created this in Cubase in January 2017, finishing it off in February 2019 and used the HALion Sonic SE and AlanViSTa Hand Crash VST instruments for the sounds. The theme is Alan Hawkshaw's arrangement of ‘Promenade’ from the ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ suite by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (1839-1881). This version was created by Oliver Sacker.
Recreation of the 1986 Bergerac opening theme tune. I created this in Cubase, finishing it off in May 2025. I used the HALion Sonic 7 (with HALion Symphonic Orchestra and Iconica Sketch patches), Pianoteq, SWAM Saxophones v3 (trial version) and ezdrummer VST instruments for the sounds, along with some real melodica, bass and guitar. The theme was composed by George Fenton. This version (based on the opening titles of ‘Fires in the Fall’ Tx 26/12/86) was created by Oliver Sacker.
