Some exciting collaborations have been happening here with my long time friend Tom Pierard. Tom’s also a local who I’ve known for ages - since growing up here in Napier, and I’ve always known h’e a bit of a musical monster :) So, the idea evolved between us, over the last year or so to start a music composition company that could cater for clients who need specific music made for film or any other kind of commercial musical branding.
This company has just been officially launched as Bandolier - our website is live over at www.bandolier.nz
We’ve already been busy completing a number of projects - one of which was creating the music bed for Big Save Furniture’s TV and Radio campaigns.
The piece needed to be emotive, warm and slightly nostalgic - a nod to Big Save’s long history as a NZ owned company. It also needed to reflect their recent branding change from a high energy hard sell, to a much more relaxed approachable style.
We produced a full 2:30 version, as well as cut downs for 90, 60 30 and 15 sec. There are also 2 different 15 sec versions, one for regular ads, the other a more upbeat from the top version for Big Sale ads.
Here are the 2 15 sec versions in context. Voiceover and mix were also recorded and produced in my studio.
