ITHACA at D&AD Festival 2018

We transformed the entrance to the D&AD Awards Ceremony, replacing the traditional red carpet with a walk-through sound and light experience.  

The bespoke installation took inspiration from classic advertising and mixed a selection of well known ad soundtracks with an animated light ceiling, custom gobo effects, illuminated plants and a black mirrored floor.

Ithaca worked with ad agency Anomaly to make a lighthearted and energetic remix of classic TV themes from shows available on Freeview.

Working with such a varied and contrasting range of themes the challenge was to create a seamless mix which kept a strong musical narrative from start to finish. Time-stretching, tempo and pitch-shifting plus automated audio filters and other effects were all used to achieve the end result.

Visually we complemented the audio with an equally lighthearted, fast-paced split-screen edit, heavily synced to the music to tie the whole thing together.

Step onto a bridge in Central Gardens and be transported to a whole new world of light and sound.

Travelling Light - a motion controlled, outdoor sound and light installation created especially for Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival 2016.

As people stepped onto the bridge in Bournemouth’s bustling Central Gardens they triggered a multicoloured moving light show. The familiar sounds of the south coast were replaced by an exotic soundscape from faraway lands, all controlled by motion sensors.

Whispering Trees at GLOW Winter Lights Festival with Creative Barking and Dagenham.

Whispering Trees by Ithaca is a fun, interactive installation that allows festival goers to create their very own light show - by simply talking to the trees.

For BMW’s new 3 series radio campaign we created a unique combination of lush classical orchestration and precise sound design. The spot features the roaring sound of a BMW 3 series as it moves up through the gears. Complimenting this, every change of gear is represented by a new chord and further development of the music. We carefully blended the sounds of each gear range with each chord, taking individual revs as musical accents until the whole piece worked together in harmony, with the music and sound design flowing as a driving sequence providing a feeling of rousing, exciting sophistication.

Guinness | John Hammond, Intolerant Champion

Music is at the forefront of this dynamic Guinness ad which uses new media channels to tell an old story.

We remixed the track and added extra musical elements including drums and percussion to help to drive the narrative, creating a fresh new toe tapping mix with enough traditional atmosphere to compliment the stunning visuals.
