A couple of weeks in April and May 2018 we were in Jerusalem, the capitol of Israel, and recorded and edited an audio book in some different language versions. The author is the Swedish-Israeli artist and author Birgitta Yavari-Ihlan. Readers were Birgitta and her South-African/Canadian husband Elliot.

We made the music and edited the sound for the TV program series Kanal 10 Granskar (Channel 10 Investigation). Met the production team Thursday and a couple days later we had written intro and outro music, 17 minutes underscore music and mixed the program (-8dBFS mono for Kanal10 and EBU R128 for other Broadcasters). The program broadcasted Tuesday and now we are ready for program two and later om more programs in the series. The first program was about how young girls in Nepal are abused by high rank people of the organisation “Love Nepal” abuse young and poor girls, and also how main stream media ignore what is told them.

Here is the intro/theme music, “Investigation”, composed by Torbjörn “Toby” Frisk (melody, musical framework and arrangement) and Sam Frisk (beats, mix and mastering):
