BMW & Audi adverts (music & sound design by me!)

For part of my coursework at university last year, I had to re-design the sound to the two car adverts below… Feedback is always more than welcome 🙂

Robert Henke, Christopher Bauder – Atom

(PART 1)

(PART 2)

“Performance for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound.”

A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system.  An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.

Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events.  Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form.

The height of each helium balloon is adjusted with a computer-controlled cable winch, whilst the internal illumination is accomplished using dimmable super-bright LEDs, creating a pixel in a warped 8×8 spatial matrix.

The sonic events, the patterns of light, and the movement of the balloons are manipulated in real time as a 45-60 minute-long performance.

The software & hardware that was used for the performance was engineered by Christopher Bauder, Till Beckmann & Holger Pecht who are all working as part of the ‘whiteVoid’ project…Check out their website HERE ! (highly recommend looking around the ‘portfolio’ section on the website)

I shall leave you with my favourite movement (‘First Contact’) from piece below:

Portobello Film Festival 2011 – Animated sting

I recently designed the sound to this animated sting, which will be entered into a competition for the Portebello Film Festival and the winning sting will be played at the beginning of each film during the festival … Let’s hope this wins then, eh?! 😉

This was the first time that that I’ve had the task of designing sound to a branded logo, and I have to say it was a task which I thoroughly enjoyed. Making an impressionable statement in such a short space of time is always good practice for any producer & sound designer, and I certainly hope to have many similar tasks in the near future.
