Name: "Smoke Rings" - short '70s Rock-style track by Classicalbanksy
Duration: 2 min 33 s
Description: 70s Rock (Who / Zeppelin) Library Music submission.

Epic! Fabulous earworm has stayed with me all day. Love it!

"Write a song using found sounds" was the challenge, so I set to work building a simple, percussive backing made from items found in my kitchen: a wok, a pot of table salt, a couple of cardboard boxes, a 1979 analogue monophonic synthesizer...

Words grew around feelings of unease about the pandemic, the environment, politics, and what may lie ahead for all of us, but ended with a note of hope for what changes we might make and the world we rebuild after the waves have receded.

Lyrics:

It’s time to break it down 
Come on and break it down
All you need to do my dear 
Is catch your starry crown 
I send my spirit to you
Across the rivers and the sea
 
In times of darkness
Hope is at your side 
When people fighting you 
Let courage be your guide 
Sticks and stones
Skulls and bones 
We are standing strong 
 
Hold on tonight
Keep your loving fire burning bright 
Hold on tonight 
Rage against the dying of the light

Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

2020 marked Simon Roberts’ mainstream debut as Media Music Composer, with a nomination from ITV, for a Royal Television Society Crafts and Design Award for his score for “Return to Belsen,” directed by Simon Broughton, and written and presented by Jonathan Dimbleby. Simon teams up with MultiStory again in 2021, for the follow-up, “The Cellist of Auschwitz,” featuring Anita Lasker-Wallfisch.

"Return to Belsen" - broadcast 7th April, 2020, ITV1:

An early successful Opera career, which saw him managed by Luciano Pavarotti and living in Italy, Simon was forced to prematurely retire from the opera stage for health reasons, and the enforced convalescence that followed, gave him time to consider new professional directions. 

Having worked as an opera agent for a while, he decided to pursue a career as composer, inspired by Gian-Carlo Menotti, for whom he worked as PA between 2003-2005. 

Following a year of study under Hans Zimmer, a string of media music credits followed, including film scores for Will Rogers' "Bloodline,' Rachel Kelly’s “The Colour of Torment,” alongside scores for the small-screen documentary "Tyranny and Absolute Power - How Magna Carta Happened," for the Manorial Society of Great Britain, and most recently the award-nominated "Return to Belsen” for ITV/MultiStory. 

With 5 singles so far commercially released as “Classicalbanksy,” all eyes are now on the debut album, "Transgenre." The release date has been put back to early 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and boasts a stellar line-up of guest artists.
