Corporate Music Writing & Production

I got given the opportunity to write & produce the music for this company's catalog presentation. The company is called "Lobelia" and they sell and distribute hotel & restaurant products (cutlery, bed sheets, plates, glasses, hair dryers, you name it...all of it!!!) So I had do it all in a day, last minute job!... I had to put myself in a holiday mind set... chill beach music, not many changes and busy enough orchestration not to be annoying to the average ears... based on my master and guru Brian Eno's ambient 1 music for airports concept (look it up on youtube!)
As far as the production I used Ableton Live + samples...did all there...on headphones and no interface! hardwork!

This track was recorded and self produced at Half Ton Studios in Cambridge, England with Mr Bugs behind the mixing desk. (www.halftonstudios.co.uk) Bass went straight thru a D.I box doing live take with the drums...

Andrew Balkwill on vocals & piano, Reuben Humphries on drums and backing vocals (+ some arrangement), Anoushka Lucas on more backing vocal action, and myself on the bass side of things @davedelgadobass :-)
