This beat out 37 tracks. Me n Rei doodling in the studio. Those drums are one mic, loads of distortion and one take. And Rei is a first class bass player.
Something for NY Fashion Week
A track called “Movies From the 80s”. Heavy on the Juno 60; classic 80s synth. Probably used in every movie made between the years of 1981 to about 1985. Then the DX7 came along and stole its crown.
Another Aveeno
For summer 2016. After much deliberation, a cover of last years track.
“The Sound of Tubes” nearly made it, and probably didn’t because I strove hard to maintain the integrity of the sound of the pre amp I used to record it. A reel to reel recorder from 1956. Yeh, not a great idea to get something past corporate, but hey, the pre amp just sounds too good. And Old Man Winter, my upright piano, sounds like a champ, too.
More Aveeno
Commercials
All commercials and movies up to April 2014 are here;
Everything post April 2014 are on this site
Check The (Fuckin) Flow – Drive, She Said
This also just found a home in Drive, She Said. My friend Alicia Angeles on the vocal mic. I did offer to do a ‘clean’ version of this, and also to give it a clean title, because, after all it is an Ashley Tisdale movie. I’ve written music for her before and she’s covered a couple of my tracks, and her fanbase are all minors. No dice, though. Well, maybe they’re going to use a bit of the track that has no cussing. If they can find two seconds that has no cussing in it, that is. Still, nice placement. Thanks Andy.
Bong – Drive, She Said (2015)
One of my madder tracks and has two spots for a total of about 3 minutes in Drive, She Said (2015), which is also the title of a movie from 1997, so I guess they might change the name.
Aveeno
More Aveeno. Yay! This years campaign. 14 of em. All day, everyday, in ya face. Great for me. Not so great for you. Sorry about that.
Glucerna
This just got another media buy.
I will never do another WFH (work for hire/buy out) on a commercial again. Or anything else for that matter. (Negotiable). This company has made full use of that wfh contract by running this consistently for FIVE years! In my spare time I play the stock market and I know how much these pharmas make. Shame on them. But, thanks for the AFM. And at least the music house couldn’t take half the publishing.
Neutrogena – correction Sensationail
No stories about this one. Except, I only just realized it’s not a Neutrogena commercial. I’ve been working on it for a week, thinking it was a Neutrogena. Doh! Super easy, though. They went through two music agencies. Maybe they just ran out of time.
