Christian Mondstein/Jo Part
Sorry I've been so lax about adding new music to this site. There just never seems to be enough hours in the day. So here's a little something to tide y'all over until my next post. This is the first video I've actually made using Windows Movie Maker so I'm still learning. But it's basically just a slideshow with test cards and station idents (most people under 30 probably won't even remember what a test card is!). Anyhow, all 4 of these songs will be appearing on a couple of future compilations that are in the works. Hopefully this should give you something to look forward to.

Hi..loved your video..glad to see your new account..I posted and subscribed to your video and account respectively..
The CBC used the Indian Head test pattern. The last one you posted looks like he's in blackface.
The early colour patterns were interesting; I've only seen the bar type.
Playing music behind test patterns didn't happen very often that I recall. Generally, there was a tone to calibrate the sound signal.
I guess in these days of 24-hour programming, test patterns are long obsolete. They're more entertaining than a lot of stuff on TV.
Yowp
Tell me about it. I remember PBS in Boston (WGBH) used to play "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck over their station ident. That was my favorite song. And yes, there was music being played over the indian head test patterns in Boston. Because I distinctly remember calling WLVI (channel 56) when I was about 7 or 8 years old (okay, now I'm dating myself!) and asking the name of a song. They had no idea.
My favorite song, too, "Take Five". love the first song under the indian head. BTW Dumb question? Any info on Jo Part? Was Jo male or female? I can't find out anything about her online yet.
I fell in love with "Clique Chic"!... Mmmaaarvellous and a perfect sound too!!!
I wish I could help. But Brillant Musik's site isn't providing any info either. You could try emailing Brigade Mondaine. I was surprised when Zack himself actually replied to one of my emails a few years ago, so you never know! What I can tell you is this: These are NOT the original names of the songs, but re-issued names. The original names are:
"Puzzle-Spiel No. 9" (reissued as Clique Chic - written by Mondstein/Part and performed by The Heinz Kiessling orchestra).
"Big Benny" (reissued as Creep Joint - written by Mondstein/Part and performed by The Rhythm Kings).
I don't know the original names of the other 2 songs because they don't seem to be listed on Brillant's website (if they ARE, I couldn't find them).
