Student Music on Swatch TV Commercial

Point Blank was recently approached by the ad agency who represent Swatch. They were on the lookout for an original piece of music to soundtrack their latest TV advertising campaign.  

A number of students responded to the brief and the standard of work submitted was extremely high. Ad Director Harvey Bertram- Brown said "The students did a better job than the professionals we approached. Their music was more innovative and more exciting"

However, one piece of music in particular stood out. We are delighted to announce that the student whose work will be heard across European TV this winter is... Eddie Yanez.

Eddie, who is currently studying the Music Industry Project module, composed the track together with his music partner Craig Botes. Between them they met the brief head on, composing a 30 second piece of music that perfectly captured the magical, glittering theme of the new TV campaign. Many congratulations to Eddie and Craig whose music will be on TV screens across Europe very soon.

We interviewed Eddie about the whole experience. Check it out below:
