To compliment the new site I have revisited my main ad show reels and also added one for the work I have been doing on the MMORPG game Wurm Online.
The two new jingle show reels, Up Beat and Laid Back, each contain excerpts from around 20 of my jingles. I have tried to not just show the range of work I have done in recent times, but hopefully have given enough variation to get you thinking about what you would like for your next project.
If you want to hear jingles in their entirety, the Recent Jingles link now goes to a page where you can play examples directly, rather than having to go to a details page. As this is rather long it may take a few moments to load.
The new show reels can be heard using the flash player in the left column, or downloaded where shown. Hope you love them! |

There comes a time when you just got to have a change. For some it is dumping their entire wardrobe and starting afresh (bet that one has changed in the current economic climate), for others it is getting a new boss, or just repainting the old one.
And me? Well, I get fed up of my websites!
The best one I did for the jingles was probably my first. But since I cant find it, that has kind of ended that argument. My next couple weren't too bad (the art deco radio had something going for it). But my last one was just plain dull. I had this stupid idea that I was too old for silly. And that was silly in itself.
So here is my latest version. Subtle, huh? |

Or, the Dos and Don'ts of Music for Advertising
Using music, especially sung jingles, has been the backbone of many a commercial for as long as commercials have had backbones. Music sets a mood, it sounds a fanfare and it fills in the gaps between words. In fact, music has been used more as pointing between the bricks of the script than it has been used in any other way. If you are going to use music in advertising, using it right is important. Music is an investment; just using it as some sort of glorified glue could be viewed as a bit of a waste.
