Al Jazeera English | Refresh 2020

I can confirm that the music is not composed or produced by Tim M Rabjohns from Shriek Music or Ghiya Rushidat. Tim is no longer working in TV or music.

The original Al Jazeera five-note sonic logo was composed by Yaniv Fridel of Soho Sonic Studios, Chris Deligiannis and Gad Arnon. Tim Rabjohns of Shriek Music was the production manager for the project. Shriek Music is today Make This Noise Ltd.

Yaniv Fridel did not play any role in the re-arrangement of the news theme for the 2020 refresh.
