Scoring Two Petco Commercials
PetCo has initiated a series of new commercials highlighting true stories of animal lovers and the things they’ve been through. I scored two of them. The first, titled Kat and Her Adopted Family, features an instrumental song of mine centered around acoustic guitar and string quartet.
And the second chronicles a Petco groomer discovering a dog’s cancer. It’s always a challenging to balance the seriousness and tragedy without letting it weigh the commercial down, and to provide a respite from the sadness.
In the early days of the Rolling Stones, I've read, the boys would send Keith down to the basement with his guitar while they waited upstairs for him to return with a riff or a lick that they could build a song around.
The basement.
That's where you and I need to go.
