This is my rather ramshackle garage punky attempt at the Grange Hill theme tune. This is, in my opinion, the greatest kids TV show of all time, at least up to about 1987/88.
Grange Hill
Just in case you've never heard or seen the programme here's the original title sequence. The song was an edited version of Chicken Man by Alan Hawkshaw and it has been used in other shows, but this is probably the most famous version.
DAW
Waveform 13
Instruments
Fender Telecaster
Squier bass guitar
Plug-Ins
Addictive Drums 2
TDR Feedback Compressor & Nova
Waveform 8-band EQ
Orilriver
Wider
Master Mix

I'm a fan of the short series of Harry Potter movies. For the contest:
2605_harvon_Harry_Potter_Main_Theme_Developements
And for the reference, the original.
Harry Potter Main Theme
Now, what to do with a couple of tracks on other serie's themes I started but didn't finish?

I don't record any instruments live, I construct my music.

Joe 90 - Most Special Agent
I took my inspiration from the world of Supermarionation that blessed us with Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons and Joe 90. If you are not familiar with Joe 90, he is used as an agent of the World Intellience Network and uses technolgy of the Rat Trap to transfer brain waves from others to give knowledge for his most special assignments. This is a link [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5ve99q] to the very first episode and theme starts around 1.30, another great piece of music by Barry Gray.

... One procrastive individual, stubbornly tinkering with an obscure softsynth called 'Yoshimi' into the wee hours of the night, endeavoring to produce a reasonable facsimile of the theme of a treasured television show from his distant youth. Yes, he probably missed more than a few notes, and his sound design skills are probably not up to the task.
"Still he persisted in trying to re-enter....
"The Twilight Zone."
...For those of you who might be unfamiliar with the show, you can hear how the theme really sounds here:
