After hearing about the impending shutdown of MTV’s music channels, I took a nostalgic dive through my hard drive to dig up all the idents I composed music for. I found 20, though there might be a few I’ve forgotten! I absolutely loved working on these, pushing myself to tackle unfamiliar genres alongside a few that sit more comfortably in my comfort zone (weirdo electronic stuff, perhaps?). I was also surprised by how much singing I did on them, especially since I’d never dream of submitting the public to that in person! Other memorable experiments included recording the sound of vibrating high heels on a bass bin…
Most of the idents were commissioned by Universal Everything with a few mixed in from Umeric and Proud Creative.
