Intel Ebola Commercial

Meet Ken Krieger and the makers behind Project Buendia. They created an Ebola-proof tablet and server with Intel Edison technology to help fight the Ebola outbreak — they did in two months when it would normally take two years — because they were racing against time. More information on Intel’s efforts can be found here.

I had the opportunity to score the music for this commercial for Intel. The music followed an arc split into three acts: presenting the problem, describing the solution, then wrapping it up. I used an unusual ambient palette of multiple echoing and reversed pianos, 808 kick, and soaring string textures.

Special thanks to Jordan Passman, Jake Weinreb, Danny Joseph, and the entire team of creatives who worked on this exemplary piece. It’s a real pleasure to work on projects where every member of the team is excellent at what they do and is free to do their job best. The writers and directors of this video spent countless hours working to do it right, and it shows.

In addition to my big news today, some tremendous achievements to my composer colleagues in the other visual media categories:

Quincy Jones, one of the most powerful forces in American popular music for more than half a century, died at 91. He produced Michael Jackson’s "Thriller," the best-selling album of all time, and was a prolific arranger and composer of film music. https://nyti.ms/3AuTahh

Gotta say, that new Mac mini looks amazing. It’s a pro machine. The only thing keeping me from the temptation of buying it is that the Mac Studio is due for a refresh soon, and of course, will leapfrog the Mini when it does.
