Comparing Advertiser's Brief with Aired Adverts!
Two TV Adverts that I pitched for have recently appeared on British TV.
I won't name them...but it's very interesting in comparing the Agencies "Brief" with the final music
chosen for the advert.
One was an orchestral piece, loosely based on Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and I did quite an in-depth analysis of this classic piece of music and produced what I thought was a suitable tune and arrangement (all within a 30 second length!) that I thought also fitted the brief.
After feedback from the agency, I did two subsequent versions of the tune.
When I saw the final chosen piece of music on TV..... the client had chosen quite a boring un-memorable piece that barely touched on the brief!!!!
The other ad...which features a very well known actress.... ended up using a newish version of a very old tune!
C'est La Vie I suppose.
Until next time..

Touching Base
Had lovely phone call today from a composer friend of mine Steve Wright that I haven't spoken to for many, many years!
He has been very busy composing for the BBC, (His music for chef Raymond Blanc's series was fab!) but finally had a few free moments to chat with yours truly. Time flies by when you are chatting about old friends, music and technology!
Hopefully we might collaborate on some sort of project in the near future, as he is a great guitarist as well as being a great composer and I'm sure we would have fun!
On top of that he's a top bloke too!

Pitching for TV
It's been a while since my last blog (not that anyone reads them anyway?)
Just been pitching for a new national TV Ad campaign, courtesy of one of my London agents.
Full orchestral piece that was great fun to do initially..but the more one adapts to feedback and presents second or third drafts..the harder it becomes and time constraints mean that you don't get very long to sort it out!
Anyway..the pitch is now with the agents and the rest is up to them, hopefully the music fits their brief and now awaiting feedback from the clients!
BTW if you are reading this, why not become my first follower or drop me a line to my email address?
Cheers for now!
