mcbpete Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've been hunting this for years (Since about 2004 according to my last post about it) and finally it looks like it's made its way onto Youtube. Is it me or is this - an unreleased mix of this - (or as the title suggests just a complete rip off - hell now that I've posted it even the matching thumbnails suggest a reference!)

Friendly Foil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sounds like a rip off. Like, the people behind the commercial wanted that autechre track, but didn't want to pay for it, so they got this random dude to do something super similar with a few different notes here and there.

lumpenprol Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 that's kind of a cool commercial Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/78185-autechre-score-the-soundtrack-to-an-advert/#findComment-1973721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest texan whip Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I don't hear much similarity between the two to be honest. Nine (from Amber) was featured in a advert for Orange years ago though - I'm unsure if it was a mix or the album version.

They're pretty much identical sounding synths (including the shift from the pluck to the saw-type synth), same high feedback delay, same key, tempo, near identical choice notes.

Guest pixelives Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 The rip off thing for commercials happens all the time. There's basically a whole industry based around it. There is also a LOT of artists that you may know that do commercials on the DL. Compared to constructing total tracks it's relatively easy and the money is BIG, especially for car adverts. I have a friend who did a remix for a moderately well known indie dance band. He had really no rights to the track since it was a remix, the remix was used in a car commercial, though he had no idea until it was out. SInce he was friends with the label, etc, he wondered why he wasn't given prior knowledge and threatened to sue. His case was pretty slim, but there was also no contract for the remix. The commercial rights were for a worldwide use aka big money. To make it go away, the label gave him 15G's.

Guest Aserinsky Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I get job offers like this all the time. Most of the people that offer the job have no clue or interest in music whatsoever, so I'll be asked to write a piece of music that rips off someone else whilst making it sound 'slightly' different. Usually it's either some horrid top 40 David Guetta style track or really cheesy Enigma / Moby trip hop stuff, but if your lucky the director will be given a little more creativity and commission something a bit different. The advertising industry is only filled with pretentious venture capitalists that don't live in the real world and everyone else trying to get a foothold anywhere else in the entertainment industry after all. It should also be said I have never once accepted a job offer of this kind.

modey Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 To be honest, I'd actually quite like to be paid to write soundalikes. It'd be a good way to build up production chops for my own music.

Yeah I'm making it sound a lot more bitter than it actually is, I'm just unnecessarily malevolent when it comes to anyone else becoming involved distributing or using any music that I make. Pretty much all my job offers come through graduate opportunities with my university; a lot of advertisers seek out students because they can pay them much less / nothing at all. Sadly otherwise making music for adverts can be an extremely competitive business, so unless you're willing to sell off all the rights to whatever you make for a low fee, you might be stuck (however you've got an extremely impressive back catalogue so that would definitely help with negotiations!). I'd say try getting in touch with a music house and getting a position there; advertisers seem much more likely to go through a music house or ad agency to do most of the work for them. Just be persistent for them and you'll do fine. Oh an one last thing, before you get a job make sure (if you haven't done so already) to join a musician's union. There'll be quite a few people trying to rip you off and do sketchy deals, so being in touch with a union will be very handy for making sure you get paid!

Guest pixelives Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Warp publishing ain't no joke when it comes to ad placement. I really have no problem with it. Artists need to eat and keep working. Oneohtrix did one recently, if I'm not mistaken.

BobDobalina Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm pretty sure Top Gear alone will pay Amon Tobin's kids through college. But yeah, no problem with a relatively obscure artist banking off licensing their work - obscure in the general sense, like how maybe out of 100 random people off the street 1 or 2 at most might've even heard of autechre. Like pixel said artists gotta eat, and I'd rather see the dolo to the originators than the imitators. I do hate the celebrity voiceovers though, Jon Hamm can go fuck the tailpipe of a mercedes.
