There’s about 40,000 songs being added to Spotify every day, so the only way you can get discovered, is if your music truly stands out. How do you do that? Well, in this lesson you’ll learn 3 hacks to make your music stand out from the crowd! But first… Tea!

\n

INTRO
So, to counter all the boring year-end lists of smash hits, we started a new Hack Music Theory tradition last year: The Most Artistic Music of the Year. We selected the winner by asking ourselves this question: What release this year contained the most interesting theory, used in the most creative way, resulting in an accessible work of art. And the vital criteria here is accessibility, cos it’s actually surprisingly easy to write creative music, but it’s surprisingly difficult to write creative music that makes people dance and sing along! Now, without further ado, the winner of 2019’s Most Artistic Music of the Year, is… Dan D’Lion.

\n

Dan D’Lion is a British producer and singer, who came outta nowhere this year with two jaw-dropping EPs (\"Perspective\" EP & \"Betterman\" EP). The first time we heard Dan D’Lion was in Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist a few months back, when his song “Simmer Down” totally jumped out at us, and almost nothing on that playlist ever stands out, let alone jumps out! So, in this lesson, we’ll hack the pre-chorus of “Simmer Down”, where three musical elements make this song truly stand out from the crowd. To be honest though, we could easily make four lessons on this one section alone, it’s that good! So as soon as this lesson ends, go listen to Dan D’Lion and hit repeat, cos it’ll take many listens to explore the musical depths of his 10 songs.

\n

GIVEAWAY
Now, just before we jump into the lesson, we’ve got exciting news for you: We’re feeling festive, so one of you will win our bestselling online course: Apprenticeship #1 (worth $150). The course contains 17 hours of video that guides you through every step of the music making process, from blank screen to finish song. Details on how to enter coming up later, but now, it’s time to open your DAW to hack music theory.

\n

SETUP
Alright, now you’re gonna learn the three theory hacks from Dan D’Lion that will make your music stand out! And for the example in this lesson, we’ll be using our version that we made earlier, using these three hacks. So, start by setting up four bars of 4/4, with your tempo set to 108 BPM, and your grid set to 1/16 notes. Dan D’Lion uses A natural minor for this section, so we’ll use it too.

\n

HACK 1. MODAL AMBIGUITY
The first thing you’ll feel when listening to this section in “Simmer Down”, is that it’s not obvious what the key is. Dan D’Lion very cleverly does this by starting his bass line with a long note that makes us think it’s the root, but it’s not. Then after this long note, he drops down to the real root (A), which is when the ambiguity takes hold, as we thought the bass line started on the root, but now A feels like the root. Dan D’Lion does help us to hear A minor as the actual key though, by playing synth arpeggios in the background that reinforce A minor. Now, while this ambiguity around keys is a trendy hack these days, when most songwriters and producers use it, they just go back and forth between the relative major and minor keys. But that’s not interesting enough for Dan D’Lion, what he does is to go back and forth between A natural minor and its relative Dorian mode. In our example, we chose the relative Lydian mode, so we started our bass line on F. And whatever relative mode you choose, be sure to start your bass line on that mode’s root note. And if you need help understanding the modes, then simply use the mode hacks in our Songwriting & Producing PDF (click & scroll down).

\n

HACK 2. USE THIS NOTE
Now that you’ve blurred the line between A natural minor and the relative mode that you chose, it’s time to blur that blurred line! You see, Dan D’Lion isn’t satisfied with merely creating ambiguity around the key, he then goes on to break free from those two keys by using the note C♯, which is not in either key, so it’s what we call “non-diatonic”. This blurring of the blurred line not only enhances the ambiguity from Hack 1, but it also creates the ultimate standout moment in your song. In fact, it was this exact note that made Dan D’Lion’s song jump out at us in the first place.

\n

HACK 3. COUNTERPOINT
Dan D’Lion used the compositional technique known as counterpoint to write his backing vocals. And counterpoint is when the contour of your backing melody counters the contour of your lead melody. It’s extremely rare to hear counterpoint in popular music, as almost all backing melodies these days just harmonise the lead melody by following its contour, usually a 3rd above or below. But, by using counterpoint to write your backing melody, you inject one of the rarest elements into your song, which will make it truly stand out from the crowd. And by the way, if you need help with counterpoint, then simply use our counterpoint hack, which is also in our Songwriting & Producing PDF (click & scroll down). And, if you need help with writing melodies, then use our Melody Checklist, which is in that PDF as well. It’s the ultimate list of dos and don’ts for writing great melodies.

\n

MORE
So, now that you’ve got one section coming together, how do you write the other sections? Then, how do you transition between them (especially when they’re in different keys)? And then, how do you structure and arrange your song? These are issues many songwriters and producers struggle with, and that’s exactly why we made our online apprenticeship course, which guides you through every step of the music making process, from blank screen to finished song. So, if you wanna learn our secret method for writing (and finishing) great songs, which we don’t teach in these free lessons, then check out our Apprenticeship #1 online course.

\n

NEXT
Alright, now let’s have a listen to our standout section, but just before the playthrough, here’s how you can win our online course Apprenticeship #1: Write a comment below this video on YouTube, and tell us why you should win. It’s that simple! We’ll then pick our favourite answer, and announce the winner in our newsletter this Sunday (15 Dec 2019). So, be sure to post your comment by Saturday (14 Dec 2019), and also, make sure you’re on our mailing list (you can sign up on our home page).

\n

Sadly, this is our last lesson of the year, but we’ve got EPIC news for you about 2020. When we come back in early January, we’re gonna be launching Apprenticeship #2. This course is the mother of all courses, it’s taken us over a year to make, and it contains over 30 hours of video! So, if your New Year’s resolution is to get serious and commit to your music, then make sure you’ve done Apprenticeship #1 before January, cos come 2020, it’s Apprenticeship #2 time! Thanks for watching (or listening, if you’re on the podcast), and we’ll see you in a few weeks. Until then, happy holidays, and thank you for another magical year, we really appreciate you being here.

Production: The dubbing was handled by the Sirasa TV Dubbing Unit, known for localizing international content like The Legend of Siddhartha and Moana.

Join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #HarryPotter1OnSirasaTV and share your thoughts and excitement with fellow fans. The wizarding world awaits!

In the early 2000s, a new kind of magic reached the living rooms of Sri Lanka. While the rest of the world was lining up at cinemas, many Sri Lankan children experienced the wizarding world for the first time through Sirasa TV, which brought the first three films—Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban—to local screens with high-quality Sinhala dubbing. The Magical Premiere The Sinhala version of the first movie, often titled Harry Potter saha Maya Gala

(Harry Potter and the Magical Stone), became a cultural staple. Fans fondly remember the voices that brought the characters to life, such as the veteran voice actor Suneth Chithrananda, who voiced the iconic Professor Snape.

For a generation, Saturday and Sunday mornings were defined by Sirasa Kids Movies. The channel's ability to translate complex British fantasy into the Sinhala language helped bridge a cultural gap, making Hogwarts feel like a place that could exist just over the horizon for any Sri Lankan child. The Unfinished Journey

Despite the massive popularity of the first three dubbed movies, the project eventually hit a standstill. The "Ithuru Tika" (The Rest) Plea

: To this day, social media pages for Sirasa TV are flooded with comments from fans asking why movies 4 through 8 were never dubbed. Fan Solutions: Because the professional dubbing stopped at Prisoner of Azkaban

, fans turned to Telegram channels and unofficial fan-dubbing groups to complete the story in their mother tongue. Legacy of "Harry Potter 1" on Sirasa

The Sirasa TV broadcast of the first film remains a "core memory" for many. It wasn't just a movie; it was a weekly ritual. Even decades later, clips of the original Sinhala dub go viral on platforms like Facebook and TikTok, sparking nostalgia for a time when "Alohomora" was first spoken in a familiar Sri Lankan accent.

The Impact on Sri Lankan Dubbing Industry

Before Harry Potter 1, Sinhala dubbing was mostly reserved for Indian Hindi serials or cartoons. After Sirasa TV’s success, other channels started dubbing Hollywood films. The concept of “Sinhala voice-over” for major blockbusters grew. Later, movies like Jurassic Park and Titanic got similar treatments. But Harry Potter was the catalyst.

Local dubbing artists suddenly gained respect. Schools reported increased interest in reading — children wanted the Sinhala books after watching the film. Even though the original English books were available, the Sinhala dub sparked a love for the characters on a grassroots level. The first movie in the Harry Potter series,

A Legacy of Nostalgia

Today, looking back at the Sirasa TV broadcast of Harry Potter 1 invokes a heavy sense of nostalgia. It represents a simpler time—a time when you had to wait for the scheduled telecast, enduring the anticipation and the commercial breaks, to catch a glimpse of the Sorting Hat or the Mirror of Erised.

While we now have access to high-definition versions and original audio tracks, the Sinhala dubbed version remains a cherished memory. It serves as a testament to the power of storytelling and how a tale of magic can find a home in any language.

For many Sri Lankans, Harry Potter’s journey didn't start on the big screen; it started on a Sunday evening, on Sirasa TV, in Sinhala. And that made all the difference.

Did you watch Harry Potter on Sirasa TV? What is your favorite memory of the Sinhala dub?

The Sinhala-dubbed version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

(locally known as "හැරී පෝටර් සහ මායා ගල"), broadcasted by Sirasa TV, stands as a landmark in Sri Lankan television history. It successfully bridged the gap between global cinematic culture and the local Sinhala-speaking audience, turning the wizarding world into a household name in Sri Lanka. The Cultural Significance of the Sirasa Dub

Sirasa TV, owned by the Capital Maharaja Group, pioneered the localization of high-budget Hollywood films. By dubbing Harry Potter into Sinhala, the channel made the intricate lore of Hogwarts accessible to children and families who might have otherwise struggled with the original English dialogue. This move followed a tradition of successful dubs like Asterix, further cementing the channel's reputation for high-quality localized content. Dubbing Quality and Local Reception

The Sinhala version of the first film is celebrated for its professional voice acting, which captured the distinct personalities of the lead trio:

Harry, Ron, and Hermione: The voices were carefully chosen to match the youthful energy of the original actors (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson).

Supporting Cast: Notably, the character of Professor Snape was voiced by the late Suneth Chithrananda, a veteran whose deep, resonant tone added a localized gravity to the character.

Terminology: Magical terms and spells were often kept in their original form or slightly adapted to maintain the "mystical" feel, preventing the loss of the story's essential magic during translation. Availability and Legacy

While Sirasa TV has aired many of the films, particularly the first three—Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban—long-time viewers often express a desire for the remaining films in the series to receive the same professional Sinhala dub.

Today, clips and full versions of the Sirasa TV dub are frequently sought after on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, where fans share nostalgia for the specific vocal performances that defined their childhoods.

Here’s an interesting and nostalgic review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as it aired on Sirasa TV in Sinhala:

“Magic in Our Mother Tongue: Revisiting Harry Potter 1 on Sirasa TV”

There are some TV moments that transcend the screen—and for an entire generation of Sri Lankan kids, the dubbed Sinhala version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on Sirasa TV was exactly that. Long before streaming, when prime-time TV meant gathering around a CRT screen with the whole family, Sirasa did something audacious: they translated J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world into pure, unfiltered Sinhala.

And it worked like a charm.

The Dubbing That Became Legendary
Let’s be honest—Sinhala dubbing wasn’t always taken seriously. But Sirasa’s team poured heart into this. Hagrid’s booming “Oya magey hodama yaluwek” (You are my best friend) hit differently. Snape’s cold, measured Sinhala made him somehow even more terrifying. And Dumbledore? He sounded like a beloved village hamuduruwo (monk) who just happened to have a phoenix.

The translation wasn’t just literal; it was cultural. “Muggle” became “Muggalayeku” with such ease that kids started using it in the playground. “Quidditch” stayed alien-sounding but exciting. And the sorting hat’s song—yes, they rhymed it in Sinhala.

The Prime-Time Ritual
Every Sunday evening, around 7 p.m., the Sirasa ident would fade, the Warner Bros. logo would appear, and households would go quiet. Parents who hadn’t read a word of Harry Potter suddenly knew who Hermione was. Grandparents, usually dozing off after tea, stayed awake for the chess scene. It was one of the few times fantasy felt local—Hogwarts had echoes of ancient Sri Lankan pirivenas (monastic colleges), and the Forbidden Forest felt like the jungles behind Kandy.

The Nostalgic Flaws
Was it perfect? No. Sometimes the lip-sync was hilariously off. Characters would stop talking, but the Sinhala dialogue would continue for two more seconds. Some magical terms were clunky—"Mantra Akshara" for spells didn’t always roll off the tongue. And Voldemort’s whispery voice in Sinhala? A little comical. But that was part of the charm. We didn’t mind; we were just thrilled to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione speak our language.

Why It Still Matters
Today, with English audio and subtitles a click away, the Sirasa Harry Potter might feel dated. But for kids in the early 2000s who didn’t grow up fluent in English, this wasn’t just a translation—it was an invitation. It said: You belong in this magical world too. It proved that a boy from Privet Drive could feel right at home in a living room in Galle or Kurunegala.

If you ever get the chance to watch a clip of Harry Potter 1 in Sinhala, do it—not for nostalgia alone, but to witness how a story becomes truly universal when someone cares enough to whisper it in your mother tongue.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
One star off for the awkward lip-sync, but full points for heart and childhood magic.

Join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #HarryPotter1OnSirasaTV and share your thoughts and excitement with fellow fans. The wizarding world awaits!

In the early 2000s, a new kind of magic reached the living rooms of Sri Lanka. While the rest of the world was lining up at cinemas, many Sri Lankan children experienced the wizarding world for the first time through Sirasa TV, which brought the first three films—Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban—to local screens with high-quality Sinhala dubbing. The Magical Premiere The Sinhala version of the first movie, often titled Harry Potter saha Maya Gala

(Harry Potter and the Magical Stone), became a cultural staple. Fans fondly remember the voices that brought the characters to life, such as the veteran voice actor Suneth Chithrananda, who voiced the iconic Professor Snape.

For a generation, Saturday and Sunday mornings were defined by Sirasa Kids Movies. The channel's ability to translate complex British fantasy into the Sinhala language helped bridge a cultural gap, making Hogwarts feel like a place that could exist just over the horizon for any Sri Lankan child. The Unfinished Journey

Despite the massive popularity of the first three dubbed movies, the project eventually hit a standstill. The "Ithuru Tika" (The Rest) Plea

: To this day, social media pages for Sirasa TV are flooded with comments from fans asking why movies 4 through 8 were never dubbed. Fan Solutions: Because the professional dubbing stopped at Prisoner of Azkaban

, fans turned to Telegram channels and unofficial fan-dubbing groups to complete the story in their mother tongue. Legacy of "Harry Potter 1" on Sirasa

The Sirasa TV broadcast of the first film remains a "core memory" for many. It wasn't just a movie; it was a weekly ritual. Even decades later, clips of the original Sinhala dub go viral on platforms like Facebook and TikTok, sparking nostalgia for a time when "Alohomora" was first spoken in a familiar Sri Lankan accent.

The Impact on Sri Lankan Dubbing Industry

Before Harry Potter 1, Sinhala dubbing was mostly reserved for Indian Hindi serials or cartoons. After Sirasa TV’s success, other channels started dubbing Hollywood films. The concept of “Sinhala voice-over” for major blockbusters grew. Later, movies like Jurassic Park and Titanic got similar treatments. But Harry Potter was the catalyst.

Local dubbing artists suddenly gained respect. Schools reported increased interest in reading — children wanted the Sinhala books after watching the film. Even though the original English books were available, the Sinhala dub sparked a love for the characters on a grassroots level.

A Legacy of Nostalgia

Today, looking back at the Sirasa TV broadcast of Harry Potter 1 invokes a heavy sense of nostalgia. It represents a simpler time—a time when you had to wait for the scheduled telecast, enduring the anticipation and the commercial breaks, to catch a glimpse of the Sorting Hat or the Mirror of Erised.

While we now have access to high-definition versions and original audio tracks, the Sinhala dubbed version remains a cherished memory. It serves as a testament to the power of storytelling and how a tale of magic can find a home in any language.

For many Sri Lankans, Harry Potter’s journey didn't start on the big screen; it started on a Sunday evening, on Sirasa TV, in Sinhala. And that made all the difference.

Did you watch Harry Potter on Sirasa TV? What is your favorite memory of the Sinhala dub?

The Sinhala-dubbed version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

(locally known as "හැරී පෝටර් සහ මායා ගල"), broadcasted by Sirasa TV, stands as a landmark in Sri Lankan television history. It successfully bridged the gap between global cinematic culture and the local Sinhala-speaking audience, turning the wizarding world into a household name in Sri Lanka. The Cultural Significance of the Sirasa Dub

Sirasa TV, owned by the Capital Maharaja Group, pioneered the localization of high-budget Hollywood films. By dubbing Harry Potter into Sinhala, the channel made the intricate lore of Hogwarts accessible to children and families who might have otherwise struggled with the original English dialogue. This move followed a tradition of successful dubs like Asterix, further cementing the channel's reputation for high-quality localized content. Dubbing Quality and Local Reception

The Sinhala version of the first film is celebrated for its professional voice acting, which captured the distinct personalities of the lead trio:

Harry, Ron, and Hermione: The voices were carefully chosen to match the youthful energy of the original actors (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson).

Supporting Cast: Notably, the character of Professor Snape was voiced by the late Suneth Chithrananda, a veteran whose deep, resonant tone added a localized gravity to the character.

Terminology: Magical terms and spells were often kept in their original form or slightly adapted to maintain the "mystical" feel, preventing the loss of the story's essential magic during translation. Availability and Legacy

While Sirasa TV has aired many of the films, particularly the first three—Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban—long-time viewers often express a desire for the remaining films in the series to receive the same professional Sinhala dub.

Today, clips and full versions of the Sirasa TV dub are frequently sought after on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, where fans share nostalgia for the specific vocal performances that defined their childhoods.

Here’s an interesting and nostalgic review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as it aired on Sirasa TV in Sinhala:

“Magic in Our Mother Tongue: Revisiting Harry Potter 1 on Sirasa TV”

There are some TV moments that transcend the screen—and for an entire generation of Sri Lankan kids, the dubbed Sinhala version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on Sirasa TV was exactly that. Long before streaming, when prime-time TV meant gathering around a CRT screen with the whole family, Sirasa did something audacious: they translated J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world into pure, unfiltered Sinhala.

And it worked like a charm.

The Dubbing That Became Legendary
Let’s be honest—Sinhala dubbing wasn’t always taken seriously. But Sirasa’s team poured heart into this. Hagrid’s booming “Oya magey hodama yaluwek” (You are my best friend) hit differently. Snape’s cold, measured Sinhala made him somehow even more terrifying. And Dumbledore? He sounded like a beloved village hamuduruwo (monk) who just happened to have a phoenix.

The translation wasn’t just literal; it was cultural. “Muggle” became “Muggalayeku” with such ease that kids started using it in the playground. “Quidditch” stayed alien-sounding but exciting. And the sorting hat’s song—yes, they rhymed it in Sinhala.

The Prime-Time Ritual
Every Sunday evening, around 7 p.m., the Sirasa ident would fade, the Warner Bros. logo would appear, and households would go quiet. Parents who hadn’t read a word of Harry Potter suddenly knew who Hermione was. Grandparents, usually dozing off after tea, stayed awake for the chess scene. It was one of the few times fantasy felt local—Hogwarts had echoes of ancient Sri Lankan pirivenas (monastic colleges), and the Forbidden Forest felt like the jungles behind Kandy.

The Nostalgic Flaws
Was it perfect? No. Sometimes the lip-sync was hilariously off. Characters would stop talking, but the Sinhala dialogue would continue for two more seconds. Some magical terms were clunky—"Mantra Akshara" for spells didn’t always roll off the tongue. And Voldemort’s whispery voice in Sinhala? A little comical. But that was part of the charm. We didn’t mind; we were just thrilled to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione speak our language.

Why It Still Matters
Today, with English audio and subtitles a click away, the Sirasa Harry Potter might feel dated. But for kids in the early 2000s who didn’t grow up fluent in English, this wasn’t just a translation—it was an invitation. It said: You belong in this magical world too. It proved that a boy from Privet Drive could feel right at home in a living room in Galle or Kurunegala.

If you ever get the chance to watch a clip of Harry Potter 1 in Sinhala, do it—not for nostalgia alone, but to witness how a story becomes truly universal when someone cares enough to whisper it in your mother tongue.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
One star off for the awkward lip-sync, but full points for heart and childhood magic.
