martini advert

[lucia]

a few years ago there was a martini advert where they all jumped off a boat into the sea - what was the music, it sounded a bit bjorky but then they changed it to the usual 'thats martini'. it's been driving me mad!

[ankur]

had exactly the same question cant find the name of the song anywhere - did u find out who it was ?

[lucia]

Hi Ankur Have looked on another site and two songs come up - Danny Williams, Dancing Easy and Hardknox Metz, Cos I can. Haven't managed to find any snippets of the music to find out if one of these songs is the music we're looking for. If you have any luck yourself please let me know - thanks!

[ankur]

incidentally i found that site too and had a listen to the hardknox one, unfoirtunately thats not it...but couldnt find the danny williams one - but from seeing descriptions of his music elsewhere think thts not it either - these both are both quite recent ads. i think. i e-mailed 'martini' - lets see if they reply

Lucia, here is the answer from Martini (Bacardi) >Hi Ankur, > >Thanks for your query. > >There were 4 commercials in the DJ ray campaign, called 'Phone In', >'School', 'Leaving' and 'Bars'. The DJ Ray character was played by Jeff >Kober, his buddy Franko was played by Armando Garza and it was him that >jumped from the boat in 'Leaving' as referenced in your email. The music >for 'Leaving' was an original composition by Peter Lawlor and the rights >are owned by Water Music. The music for the final commercial 'Bars' was >also an original composition by Vinnie Pope. Unfortunately as the music for >both these ads were original compositions they are not commercially >available. > >Hope this helps > >regards >

Lucia, even crazier, the guy who did the first track peter lawlor also did the music for the antarctic Orange advert and was also in Stiltskin who did that Levi's track ages ago - Mad !

Dear Ankur - thanks very much for helping me with this. However now the search goes on to try and find a copy of the music...I have heard it in a clothes shop in Paris, so somebody somewhere has managed to get hold of it....!!! Thanks again, hopefully we can get hold of copies???

[ankur]

got the answer for that...the record company got back in touch with me, and told me they can send me selected works of his for �23.00 - will let you know whats on it when they reply to my e-mail...

[lucia]

Dear Ankur I look forward to hearing from you - I sent an email yesterday to Water Music - it looks like we are finally getting somewhere!!

[ankur]

Lucia, Martini have been kind enough to offer to send me the originals on VHS - how nice is that ! Public relations gets 10/10 for that one...will let you know what they are like when I recieve them.
