Music. There was music?
'As a composer of music for film and video you have to accept that if you have done a good job most people will be unaware of the major enhancement to the finished product!'
Pete HibbitPete is The Wildfire Team's in-house virtuosso. With a long background in performing and recording internationally, his skills allow us to create music that is an integral part of the project, so there's no generic library music added on our projects!
Below are a few examples of the diversity of Pete's compositional styles. Check out the video and viral sections to see and hear the combined effect of some of these pieces with the videos they were written for.

The exclusive and privileged location of the beautifully crafted Holwood development just a few miles south of the capital, suggested this simple and timeless piano piece.
Client: Marketing Matters/Lower Mill Estate

The input from Jeremy Paxton, the dynamic and forward thinking chairman of Lower Mill Estate, helped craft this contemporary piece. Using samples and live bass and drums, the result is as unexpected as it is effective.

With a ‘Barbara Windsor’ style babe and a ‘Blakey from On The Buses’ type villain, this viral marketing video required a ‘Carry On’ film score, but with a Banging Techno Rave beginning.
Jungle Salad and Latin Salad

Two pieces composed to accompany a video pitch for an exclusive holiday development abroad. The visual idea mixed extreme slow motion and time lapse photography and 'Jungle Salad' did the same musically, double timing the drum sample at points against a dreamy fretless bass.

'Latin Salad' uses the joyous nature of Latin music to complement the location of the resort, and what's more the melody line was derived from the name.
Pastiche

The client came to us with a problem. They wanted to use Bobby McFerrin’s 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' for a TV ad. Walker's Crisps had unfortunately acquired a 'six month exclusive use' on the tune for their campaign.
The Wildfire Team's pastiche to the rescue, (and like McFerrin, using only the human voice). It's close enough that the listener would be in no doubt of the allusion, but far enough away to be legal. And of course it saved them a packet!

This dynamic full on Rock tune is a work in progress for our own radio jingle.
