Tropicana Kids® Commercial

 
 

Tropicana's ad agency, VML, approached me to record a custom music track for a handful of commercials for Tropicana Kids. I wrote and recorded a short but sweet track featuring some whistling, nylon guitar, a bit of marimba and percussion.

 
Tracking whistles in the studio. I think there were 6 overdubs of whistling.

In addition to the music, I also collaborated with Spacebar, the animation production company, to help with sound design. Little elements like paper, fluid, taps, and cheers were tracked in to further bring the spots to life. 

 
A Spanish classical nylon guitar provided the backbone melody of the track.
