Bit Planner - Music
Special Projects are London based designers & inventors, who commissioned me to score music & sound design for their Bit Planner video.
The piece was to be charming and uplifting. As the film is about our connection between the digital and the physical, so the music combines acoustic instrumentation, while with a soundscape of digital glitches. The fiddle part is performed by my Slow Wolf bandmate, Duncan Menzies.
The Bit Planner is a wall mounted time planner that we invented for our studio. It’s currently made entirely of plastic bricks, but if you take a photo of it with a smartphone all of the events and timings will be magically synchronised to an online, digital calendar. It makes the most of the tangibility of physical objects, and the ubiquity of digital platforms.
The Bit Planner was invented in 2012 in Vitamins, a design and invention studio founded by Adrian Westaway, Clara Gaggero and Duncan Fitzsimons. For more info visit http://www.bit-planner.com
The music only…
Here you can have a listen to the music only, without dialogue. The picture of lego blocks in a glass is a makeshift ‘shaker’ that I used for percussion. It needed lots of EQ to finesse, but seemed fitting in a very nerdy way.
