Hey Folks,
So I've been getting into demo writing for commercial ads and TV show background music ala Travel Channel, HGTV etc... I've posted QuickTime movie samples and an MP3 below. Years ago I played on the soundtracks for a few TV series including Max Headroom and several seasons of Bay Watch. From doing those series I learned to really dig the marriage of "visual - dialog - sound" and how wonderful the results can be when everything lines up for a larger impact of ones senses. I'm playing everything here and it's a lonely job! Also these are strictly demos, done for fun only.
RUBY SKY MP3
RUBY SKY: This is something along the lines of the Travel Channel. Lots of Lap Steel with reverse delay, Martin D18-GE acoustic, Hamer Talladega for electric harmonics and pseudo-loop intro done with reverse delay.
VW CAR DEMO MOVIE
VW CAR demo: My first keyboard recording, piano and string section, Telecaster tremolo, Martin D18-GE.
HEINEKEN BEER DEMO MOVIE
HEINEKEN BEER demo: This one has only two instruments. The Hamer Talladega represents the male actor and the Jennifer Aniston part is played by my TEO Mando guitar. No verbal dialog but I wanted my music to act as the conversation between them. For example, when the guy approaches Jennifer I had the guitar do an ascending line following his walk. When she raises her eyebrows looking toward the top shelf I wanted the Mando Guitar to express her feelings, also during several other facial expressions of hers.
BMW CAR DEMO MOVIE
BMW CAR demo: Various guitars here, wah-wah Tele, Ebow Gibson SG, Hamer Talladega arpeggio intro guitar.
