HOWARDy Partners! While the world's been anxiously awaiting that end of January pay check, Howard Music has kicked in the new year with a foot-tapping, knee-slapping, bluegrass bang! See how Engen filled up at Howard Music...
Velocity Afrika commissioned Adam to compose an emotive orchestral piece that would enhance the "Power of Voice" theme and melodically melt into a pre-recorded vocal track for the latest Vicks TV commercial; "Speak Up Nigeria". Again, the great team from VA was Mpho Twala (director) and Monareng Makwetla.
Adam was asked by Ogilvy JHB to remix the classic Ali Katt song- "let the good times roll" for local Pay TV channel Mzansi Magic. The "Van Tuka To The Future" theme mapped a cultural journey through time and the soundtrack was treated to echo the style of various high profile South African celebrities kicking it at a vibrant house party. The spot was directed by Mpho Twala from Velocity Afrika.
Metropolitan Republic asked Adam to score MTN's 8 soccer tournament TVC. The brief called for an epic soundtrack akin to Carmina Burana's "O Fortuna" but with a sporty twist in the lyrics nick-named "Wafa Wafa" or "it's do or die". The spot was directed by Keith Rose from Velocity Films.
SHOW REEL
Adam Howard's brief by the agency was orchestral, but with a modern twist. "I used a number of live orchestral session musicians, but used the latest orchestral samples to give the impression of a large orchestra. Modern loops and beats were used to up the pace of the music." The music has been licensed in a number countries world-wide.
