Delta Airlines Commercial

This was a very creative commercial to score, and a collaborative process with my friend and ace session/live guitarist Michael Elsner. The commercial is in two halves: first an ambient desolate sequence of scenes, and second a driving captivating rock anthem. The commercial works well because it draws a stark contrast between the stereotypical failures of the airline industry and the ideals of a brand that strives to go over and above what is expected.

The first half is a collection of ethereal pads and a signature high echo piano that sets the scene. Then some sound effects transition us to the driving rock section. Mike played guitar and bass, while I programmed drums and synths. Above all of this soars some strategically impacting sound effects that tie the sound to the visuals.

I applaud @NI_News for this open community update on their current product line and roadmap for the future. As someone who uses Kontakt on a daily basis, this is really exciting:

Curious to see where this ends up. Desert island selection, and you can only listen to one, and the other doesn’t exist:

Some wonderful moments from @eltonofficial and Bernie Taupin receiving the #GershwinPrize this week. Fantastic performances from @Metallica, @brandicarlile, @charlieputh, @jonimitchell, and more.
