WHAT OUR CLIENTS THINK_
"8 out of 10 media professionals choose Bcnsound over their regular shampoo".
We rock. It's official. We asked a number of our regular clients and collaborators to write something for our website. Many of them wrote lovely things. Obviously, we threw away the rubbish ones.
"Terrarium", a campaign for the new VW Touareg. DDB decided to show the car "in it's natural environment", and so built an entire 50m2 snake tank in the centre of Barcelona airport with a Touwareg inside, covered in snakes.
This "making of" video for the Touareg Youtube channel shows the overnight construction process of the installation.
ABOUT THE MUSIC_
I was brought in to provide the music and edit it tightly with the jump cuts and glitchy style of the video. In collaboration with Fergus and Alberto from Shockstudio, it turned out a visually stylish piece and was very enjoyable to compose for.
Ron Cacique launched in Oct 2009 a competition to win a round the world trip with two friends. To take part, users have to find your way to "Runakay", deep in the forest.
This was a flagship site for Double You, a cutting edge, incredibly detailed and rich online experience using flash, audio, video, graphics, and was one of the most complicated websites I have ever worked on.
The campaign is over, but you can watch a great video (in spanish) about the project here on Double You's website.
ABOUT THE MUSIC_
I was brought in to score and sound design the entire experience. this meant from the simplest jungle background sound, through interactive elements that matched the music, to the music itself - which had to seamlessly transition from one interactive scene to the next as the user moved through the site.
Download optimization was also a key request from the developers, so it required intelligent use of mp3 compression, stereo, and the re-use of loops, one off sounds and musical elements without ever being repetitive. And once Double You's programmers had integrated all the sounds, I then had to make final mix decisions and cross fades for the sounds in actionscript code.
Finally I created a mix of everything for a 10 minute long downloadable mp3 of the soundtrack which you can hear here.

NOTES_
Scarlett Johansson has taken over from Penelope Cruz as the new face of Mango, and so in autumn 09 the Mango website had a brand new intro to the collection.
It was a punky, rock-chick kind of look so I was asked to provide a Hives / White stripes / Strokes track to accompany the "ripped magazine" animation that VASAVA created for the intro and for the navegation.
This was great fun as I'm a huge fan of the Hives. I had quite a lot of fun doing the vocals... :)
Cacique have launched a new Mojito drink and this slick website, which also shows the TV ad, is part of the publicity campaign.
It uses full screen, slow-motion background videos of mint and lime and other nice things moving underwater, which really gets your mouth watering...
I created the chill out lounge track to go with the videos and help get you in the mood. There is also an exclusive mp3 of the track for download which you can hear here:
Beatclips is a project from Vodafone in collaboration with Kutiman, the israeli producer who caught everyones imagination in spring 2009 by launching a website of tracks created entirely from sampled youtube videos cut up into pieces.
The site allows users to upload YouTube videos of themselves playing instruments that will later be edited together by Kutiman. The best videos win prizes such as tickets to festivals, new phones etc.
The theme of the campaign is "everything comes from you" and Double You asked me to create some tracks that all start with a heartbeat. To fit with the different upcoming festivals, I provided a number of tracks in different styles - electronic, rock and pop - for the entrance to the site.
You can hear the pop one - my favourite - here:
I also uploaded a strange video to the competition for fun and found myself with a ticket to Sonar as Kutiman selected it for the first track he made...
I created an atmospheric background and various interface sounds for the navigation of the new website of the 4-iD design collective. They specialise in innovative transport design and are very commited to sustainability in their work.
The graphical and sonic mood for the site hope to reflect a meshing of nature and advanced technology.
I was asked to create a non-typical sound design for this website - more atmospheric than music. The graphic design lifts inspiration from asia and so I imagined a cinematic soundscape of the sounds that I might hear sitting on the verandah of an old wooden house near the beach in Thailand:
The crickets and birds in the tropical rain...the seashore...a distant dog... pouring a cup of tea...putting on an old record...wandering over to the piano to play along...
I created all the interface sounds and provided backing music for Stylofoam's portfolio website. There are a range of skins for the site, from dark and moody to light and playful, and Idesigned an integrated series of sounds and music to fit each one. A lot of fun...
Stylofoam has created the web for the dramatic short film from London, "Clocked", that premiered at Raindance Film Festival, 2008.
We wanted to reflect the mood of the drama, so the website has a dark and tense feel to it, with an unusual navegation and also a strange sound design that I created. I took elements of the score I wrote and combined them with fragments of audio from the film to set the mood.
Stylofoam created the official website for Lazarus Taxon, the short horror film by Denis Rovira that I scored. The website was launched to cooincide with the film premiering at Sitges International Film Festival 2008.
I helped to add the finishing touches to the mood of the web by adding sounds, ambient FX, and a special mix of the filmscore for the website.
Nissan launched a website aimed at 8-10 year olds, with games, activities, videos and more explaining all about the company, their history, and how they make their cars from start to finish.
My task was to deal with all the sound design and music for the site, from the home page music through to the games.
Internet based advertising for the new VW iGolf, the model that comes with an iPod built in. For six months there were 6 tracks for download onto your iPod. (no longer online)
I created all the tunes - effectively a mini lounge EP - in a weekend...(uf!)... listen here to excertps from the tracks...
Sound design for the VW Bluemotion ecological carbon offset campaign, planting 17 trees for every car to offset its environmental impact.
I had to create a piece of ambient music that was separated out into 5 different loops. The loops would then be triggered randomly by the user as they navigated the site. This caused quite a few compositional challenges, as you never know what would be mixed with what. But that was part of the fun...listen here to a typical mix of the music.
Cannibal - fashion label and chain of stores in Barcelona (2006)
NOTES_
I had to design a main music loop that reflected the sounds of Barcelona, so I created sea sounds, street noises and a lightly flamenco flavoured track.
