The full version which uses 3 Beeper engines and a speech synthesizer can be found here:

and the correct .tap version and .mp3 release from DiHalt 2016 here:
http://events.retroscene.org/dh2016/ZX_Beeper_Music
I think it would be very difficult to make an .ay version of this tune as it's just a BASIC program that calls the speech synth, plays 1 beepola tune, then another, calls the speech synth again, plays the last beepola tune and finally the speech synth again.
The BASIC to call the speech synth would have to be re-written in assembly and the beepola tune .asm re-written to call the next tune.
Can .tap files or ready made .mp3s be uploaded?
