Ikea's new TV campaign with music by Uptempo

2011-10-17T17:50:00.002-04:00

Furniture retailer and 2011 Cannes Lions Advertiser of the Year IKEA has launched a new ad campaign designed for the US Hispanic market. IKEA and ad agency *S,C,P,F searched for a composer with a dept Latin artist influence for its new spot and Miami-based original music and audio post facility Uptempo’s Aaron Fishbein was an exceptional match.

The spot follows a wed couple in search of the perfect kitchen cabinet doors; the wife prefers a party environment while the husband favorsa more romantic ambiance. IKEA and *S,C,P,F depended on Uptempo’s commercial talent and ability to maneuver a variety of different music styles flawlessly to execute a compelling score.

The agency was looking for music that were appealing for a 35- 40 yearsold audience. For the romantic track, Fishbein played the guitar and worked with Sam Hykem trumpetist from the Miami Symphony orchestra to produce an original score that connected with IKEA’s audience immediately. Fishbein, himself, also performed on the party track which was a house track influenced by the sounds of recent Top Ten music tracks list performed at the clubs. The score for the new ad was achieved in just a couple of days.

Univision airs "Infiltrados" its first Documentary with Original Music and Audio Post by Uptempo

2011-09-23T16:20:00.000-04:00

Univision the lead Spanish network in the US, launched a new documentary unit. After a year in the making their first project is “Infiltrados”. This documentary takes an in-depth look at the FARC - one of the world's deadliest terrorist organizations, which is accountable for 60 percent of the cocaine that comes into the United States.

The show had an average of 2.5 million viewers and it was a total success not only because it was a great story but also was a non typical show for a US hispanic network.

Renowned mexican journalist and Univision's anchor Jorge Ramos who narrated and presented the documentary, was a major influence in its success. His work is highly recognized in the US and specially in the hispanic community.

Juan Rendon, director of the documentary wanted to create a music that described not only that military / spy mood but also the pain and drama of the agents. Based on that request the option was to go to Uptempo musicians Jose Miranda and Jose Tobar to create the music of Infiltrados, whom long and awarded career in film scoring (they won the european film festivals of Huelva, Flanders, Nantes and Ghent) was the perfect fit for the project. A total of 32 tracks were produced for the documentary.

The sound design and mix of Infiltrados was another big task for the project since it had more than 50 animations for the reenactments. A team of 3 engineers lead by Ricardo Tinoco with the help of Ryan Cook and Juan Fortea took care of that mission in 2 months of work.

The stories of courage of these 4 infiltrated agents and the influential result of their mission is something that needed to be portrayed with an excelent quality.

For us at Uptempo it was a great experience to raise the bar for the hispanic tv programming.

Music Should Challenge, Not Compliment

2010-06-22T15:33:00.006-04:00

Just imagine for a second that we changed the musical anthem of Jaws-a movie where we watch about 90% of the action without it’s biggest star. All we get is a fin and a whole bunch of water. What if we gave it something more like a car chase scene type of music or a full symphony building drama with every string? Wouldn’t that be expected? Wouldn't you anticipate such a music for people running feverishly for their lives from a giant killer shark? Instead, we go a much simpler and stronger piece, one that still makes us all think twice every time we decide to put a toe in the ocean. And that’s the emotional power of music that dares to challenge our senses rather than complimenting what we anticipate it to be. And for commercial production, the senses need to be challenged the same way.

You see, music is the bond that connects visuals to audiences. But the right music, the music that is remembered by audiences shouldn’t always be what is expected. If we cue up 100 chase scenes in commercials or even movies, we can quickly identify the same theme among each and every spot. However, in a spot for Windows (click to see the spot) , we see a chase scene that uses a more dramatic and emotional musical tone-escaping the traditional chase scene music. With this piece, our character is so emotionally distraught with what she’s loosing, she will do whatever it takes to get it back. And we only get this understanding though the music. Remove it and replace with a high-energy chase scene score, and we get what we expect, a chase scene. Boring because we know what's coming-there's no need to pay attention. And in doing so, we loose the emotional tie and audience investment as to why she is chasing after the apps and why she is so compelled to do so.

If we replace the current music in the Windows commercial with a chase scene score we are left wondering and constructing the story on our own. Did the apps rob her? Perhaps, she was a crazy glue-sniffing app stalker and they were trying to get away? Or just maybe, the apps were trying out to be the new Yankee’s mascot and shot a t-shirt cannon into the stands which caused the woman to spill her jumbo coke and hot dog all down her shirt and she was trying to get them to pay for dry cleaning? We could construct a hundred scenarios, but the music as it stands does a great job of conveying the feeling it wants us to, more so than if they would have used music typically expected by the audience in this type of scene.

The goal, a lot of times for music is to do what’s the audience will expect-to compliment the visuals. And when we get what we expect, it tends to blend in and not be remembered. But as we dive in closer to the purpose of music in commercials, we can see that music which challenges what the audience expects has a greater opportunity to build stronger emotional bonds. To do this, we must get out of our comfort zones when it comes to selecting music and pick or create music to relate the emotion or reason for the action rather than the action itself. When music is used to compliment what is expected, the visuals becomes what is expected. There is a familiarity but no breakthrough. But when music challenges the visuals, it has a way of transforming the visuals and creating a more powerful experience than either piece could do alone.

The Importance of Music Selection

2010-05-25T10:17:00.003-04:00

So it appears music has come out from just lining the shells of corporate jingles to being the driver of commercial recognition and why shouldn’t it be? In Uptempo Music & Audio Post (our recording studio in Miami) , we have recently seen a trend in commercial production where song selection is becoming the instrumental elements of great brand commercials. One, reason for this shift in the industry could be attributed to Apple’s initial iPod campaign-simple in graphics but bold in music. It was their calling card, and as Apple’s success grew, so did other national advertisers attention to how it was creating its messages.

To date, Apple continues to travel down the same creative lines that thrust its brand back into national prominence-simple graphics driven by catchy melodies. Often times kick starting the career of the musical artists chosen by Apple, as iTunes sales go through the stratosphere when a new campaign is released. Now just because we’re music people it doesn’t mean we don’t love great special effects, humor and big visual productions in commercials as the next person. But you can’t deny the use and importance of song creation and selection in commercials these days. Often times, artists are sough out and held exclusively as their sound becomes synonymous with the brand. It’s the battle of brands finding the next big musical star before anyone else can. It even means scavenging artists who’s sound align themselves with your brand and making them a hit along with your brand, and not as much as, choosing songs from highly over-priced rights held by the top Billboard artists. So, to recap: big brands find unknown artists, little money is spent to obtain rights, music becomes definition of brand=huge success.

In fact, the formula has been so successful, international brands are seeking to such musical connections made for exclusively for them. Take a look at the new Gatorade Commercial http://bit.ly/dmG0ba in which, you think you are listening to a retro track that you’re grandpappy once listened to, transformed for and refurbished for a new commercial. Well actually, it was made just months ago as Gatorade sought out a company to produce the song from scratch for them. And it goes both ways, AT&T sought out Gene Wilder’s, “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in it’s newest Imagination campaign http://bit.ly/clGmlf . Now, while both commercials dazzle with a carousel of visual images and effects it is the songs that resonate with consumers and really separate the commercials from the daily noise. What’s great is that all genres are using music as the universal connection to audiences. Even the hack em’ and shoot em’ Xbox title, Gears of War has built it’s brand on commercials that feature riveting and emotionally binding music titles. The first game trailer featured the song, “Mad World.” The newest trailer, “Ashes to Ashes” for Gears of War 3, http://bit.ly/8X8pqN features the weary and worn sound of "Heron Blue" by folk group Sun Kil Moon led by Mark Kozelek.

So, what does this mean for brands? It means that music selection is as important as ever. It means more time developing a sincere sound for your campaigns that evolve beyond the top 100. It means searching the internet for that next big star waiting to be discovered but currently under the radar. Or it means hiring a production company to start fresh. Give them the parameters of the campaign and allowing them to build an emotional musical connection for your audiences. It means building an integrated approach to your campaigns by releasing commercials then giving consumers the tools to access the details, find the song and even buy it. You can take it a step further; make it your on-hold or elevator music. Make it part of your culture and in return, it will turn audiences into advocates as they resonate at a deeper level with your brand then just being targeted with a message. Because music is one medium we can all relate to and escape with and we will. We will take it and run so fast you’ll never get it back. We’ll share it with friends and family, we’ll even make it our ringtone for strangers to hear. So, when that opportunity presents itself, make sure it is something we would willingly escape with.

The End of the One-Hit Wonder

2010-05-14T17:03:00.005-04:00

You remember them right? The 80’s created them and the 90’s practically lived off of them. They lived for 2-4 weeks at a time and blew up the phone request lines. Every T-top Firebird blasted them from the comfort of their cassette player and non-one could resist their memorizing melodies. They were “One Hit Wonders.”

Of course, we can all recall our own personal favorites: “Whip It,” “Whoomp…There It Is,” or my personal favorite; Deee-Lite, “Grove is in the Heart.” Just saying. This is what defined musical generations, going out and buying an entire album for one hit song. And this is why one-hit-wonders became so definitive and emotionally reflective-that and mostly because the rest of the album was at best, tolerable. No one remembers the artists with 10 great songs to the same tune (no pun intended) of when they recall their fondest one-hitter. These are the songs we cringe when played at weddings, which ultimately gave the DJ the often recited, “quite possibly the worst DJ in the World” rep. But these are also the songs we look forward to when attending an 80’s throw back party or when cueing up the VHS to watch a Jean Claude Van Dam movie. I mean, who doesn’t love the VH1 remember when 80’s and 90’s shows?

However, have we seen the end of the one-hit wonder? With today’s technological innovations in music, it appears all artists are becoming one-hit wonders, one hit at a time. No longer are consumers forced to purchase an entire record for their one favorite song. They can easily long onto iTunes or Amazon and get that one song and then integrate it throughout their lives on every listening device they have. In fact, the music culture has shifted so greatly that artists are now being forced to create that one hit. Music companies and strategists pine over which song to release first, its order on the album and how to market it. Because they know, that one song, will make or break the artist and their entire album. You see, the music industry is becoming a lot like the movie industry. You have to have a strong opening weekend, or in our case, strong first single in order to have success. Because the path to millions lies in a strong opening in sales and high media buzz.

And with digital players and song purchasing networks, consumers are in control. They can build a custom library of one-hit after one-hit by an entourage of musical artists. And that’s perfectly ok. Consumers are no longer bound to record companies telling them which songs they can or cannot listen to. And in some cases, even artist don’t need record companies to tell them what to write and hwo to perform. Look at Justin Bieber, a Youtube star who built a following on his own terms and then had the record company coming to him to sign, like a star college quarterback with every pro team vying for his unique talent.

The music age, as we knew it in the 80’s 90’s, would be proud. Where at one time, one-hitters we considered cliché, they are now seen as a coveted and desired. And what’s funny is, the one-hit-wonder as we knew them will never has the same nostalgia they once held. Because one internet hit could turn into millions of downloads and sales on iTunes. It’s no longer a cliché way to listen to and like music but the normal way. So, as we say goodbye to the classic and fond “one-hit-wonders,” we welcome a new age to music as powered by the consumer. I wonder where we’ll take it next?

What is an ISDN voice over recording?

2009-06-18T00:53:00.006-04:00

For us at Uptempo, ISDN recording is an everyday task but we also know that there are lots of people who still don’t know about this way of sound recording. There are two ways to explain what is an ISDN recording: a simple and more colloquial way and a technological way.

Let’s get first to the easy one:

ISDN or Integrated Services Digital Network is a recording of high quality audio via a telephone system network between two studios. One studio has the talent and the other receives the audio in real time and in high quality.

One example of our work with ISDN for TV commercials includes basketball star Shaquille O’Neal who visited our studios in Miami to record a spot for Vitamin Water. While he was reading, the audio files were simultaneously received in another studio in New York where the client and creatives where directing the session and listening to Shaq just like he was there.

Two recording studios can even record in sync with a movie. That was the case of our recording with Oscar award winner actor Adrien Brody for his movie "Manolete".

ISDN is not new. Even Frank Sinatra recorded parts of his album “Duets” using ISDN in 1995.

Now the more technologic way:

ISDN is a telephone system network. Prior to the ISDN, the phone system was viewed as a way to transport voice, with some special services available for data. The key feature of the ISDN is that it integrates speech and data on the same lines, adding features that were not available in the classic telephone system.

ISDN is commonly used in radio broadcasting. Since ISDN provides a high quality connection this assists in delivering good quality audio for transmission in radio. Most radio studios are equipped with ISDN lines as their main form of communication with other studios or standard phone lines. Equipment made by companies such as Omnia (the popular Zephyr codec) and others are used regularly by radio broadcasters. Sometimes a dipswitch setting must be changed on one codec to "talk" with another made by a different manufactuer

ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, that also provides access to packet switched networks, designed to allow digital transmission of voice and data over ordinary telephone copper wires, resulting in better voice quality than an analog phone. It offers circuit-switched connections (for either voice or data), and packet-switched connections (for data), in increments of 64 kbit/s.

The new Ford Fusion TV Commercial "Puppets" has sound design by Uptempo

2009-06-01T22:57:00.010-04:00

Zubi Advertising has selected Uptempo to do the Audio Post for the new 2010 Ford Fusion TV commercial named "Puppets". The spot with creative direction by Andres Ordoñez and Mauricio Candela, has been created in full CG by The Mill - an animation company famous for their work in "Gladiator"among other movies and it is a masterpiece created to be aired in the US hispanic market.

According to the agency producer Ronnie Gonzalez, the spot is a combined work that had a dream team in post production that also included the work of Stimmung with the music and part of the sound design and Uptempo for an international casting of voices and the final touches of sound design and final mix.

Uptempo's audio engineer, Ricardo Tinoco had the duty of finishing the spot and Roger Dominguez the Executive Production.

"This might be the best spot of the year for us at Uptempo if we see it as the amount of time and details that are included in the spot. You can watch the spot several times and you discover a new detail every time. From the names of the tracks in the radio, to the signs in the street, it is an awesome work. In the sound design you can even listen to the wings of the birds or the gestures of one of the puppets. We are glad that Zubi has given us that big opportunity" says Dominguez.

For this spot Uptempo recorded an ISDN session with The Living Room studios in San Antonio Texas and Alex Vargas as the talent selected in this international casting that included studios in LA, New York, Miami, Madrid, Buenos Aires and Colombia.
