A showcase reel featuring a few of the tracks I've worked on

Rob Bartlam Sound Reel

This is my entry to the Adam audio competition to provide a soundtrack for the image shown.

Though I've never been - It made me think of old school Chicago (he's just missing the trilby). I used trumpet samples to reflect this theme and added some piano for the sombre vibe.

The light piano and keys are meant to suggest the rain all around and the sound at the start and end is actually bacon frying but it sounded more like rain to me.

There's a hidden message in the clip to convey the man's situation as I see it (a call for help).

Good luck to all the entrants. I look forward to hearing other people's take on this image.
