Making of

The Hogan Club is an urban chic reality: young, energetic and trendy.

To give this feeling, we have chosen these features:

Minimal Hard Rock orchestration
Drums, distorted guitar and electric bass. The sounds are blunt and incisive, well suited to these emotional tones and the channels this commercial is targeted to (Internet & Mobile devices)
Discreet but energetic composition style
Moderate time, solid but not aggressive rhythm, well-marked accents. With a little bit of fantasy, we can almost say this is the equivalent of a proud walk.

Very important: this soundtrack will be created directly upon the mute footage. In order to perfectly synchronize with the action.

Preview #1

Presentation of the first idea by LMK Music Production

This version was created on the same day of the brief’s delivery.

These sounds, even though being quite nice, are placeholders supposed to give just an idea of the musical proposal: if accepted, we will refine them until the required quality is fit for delivery.

A nice Hard Rock with a taste of early Van Halen, with excellent video sync.

Time and structure are ok, but the phrasing is a little bit too heavy for what we need.

Preview #2

Idea accepted, but they need some changes

This version has been delivered shortly after receiving feedback about the first one.

The phrasing of the previous preview has been moved to a higher pitch, and the composition has been continued with the creation of intro and outro.

Version accepted: we can proceed further with the production.

Preview #3

Modifications are applied with success: it’s time to start with the sound design

This version has been created as preview of this soundtrack’s final sound.

Version accepted: we can now proceed with the soundtrack finalization.

In total (including the time spent waiting for feedback), this production lasted for about 3 days.
