2014 was the 45th anniversary of the first moonwalk. The Moon was in every story. The hugely successful Gravity was still in the hearts of its wide audience. This teaser highlights Land Rover’s partnership with Virgin Galactic and the whole treatment was pretty much predetermined as I sat down to work.

The soundtrack builds on NASA's public domain recordings to recreate a unique experience. We threw out the rule book about loud and laptop friendly. Sub is home for space drama, 30Hz in the middle, ending on a steady 20Hz pulse. One of my favourite projects to date - slow, sparse, punctuated.

  • sequenced in Logic Pro X
  • public domain recordings from archive.org
  • sound restoration in iZotope RX 3 advanced.
