NPO RADIO 2 DEBUT NEW REELWORLD SOUND

The biggest radio station in the Netherlands, NPO Radio 2, is heading into spring with a brand new on air sound from ReelWorld.

The custom jingle package features 17 newly composed themes as well as news and utility elements.

Head of Imaging at NPO Radio 2, Guido Sprenger, said: "For Radio 2 we were looking for different imaging that really connected with the music that we're playing and the diversity of sounds and voices that define our station. ReelWorld surprised us with jingles ranging from Motown to Grunge, from sounds like The Weeknd to Fleetwood Mac. Together we constructed a sound that is unique and extremely recognisable."

The creative also includes a series of innovative ‘mash up’ mixes that combine Radio 2’s diverse playlist within jingles and talk over beds.

ReelWorld Managing Director Anthony Gay said: “NPO Radio 2 is a prestigious European radio brand with a clear vision. To support Guido, Basyl and the team with their objectives has been a huge honour. This package really kick starts our 2021 and there’s a lot more to come!”

The new sound is part of a long term partnership between NPO Radio 2 and ReelWorld which will see them create further updates across the coming years.

The MediaCityUK based production company with its roots in Seattle, USA, continues to develop the new sound for BBC Local Radio in the UK as well as RTE 2fm in Ireland and enjoys successful partnerships with Europe’s biggest broadcasters.

NPO Radio 2 joins the long list of European broadcasters using ReelWorld jingles and imaging that already includes Heart UK, NRK P1 Norway, BBC Radio 1, Los 40 Spain, and RTL Berlin.

You Can't Win

late to the party

Found the key to every apartment
Unlocked more buttons to push on the elevator

Different nausea, two different problems
Lactating light, we’re meant for each other

Prima Donna, queen of Nevada
Speak of revenge, my boy you’re a natural

What a shame you hold such restraint
You were born with the feeling, but you’re taking the wrong medication

I would offer you my mind
You don’t need to tell me how I’m right
And now you’ll never have the chance to really say it

Wait,
You hit them where it hurts
Your words mean more than words
It’s better to sublate yourself than burn the background
You’re more than what you are
It’s knowing what you want
It’s knowing to negotiate the paradox
So, Spencer, put away that gun and please don’t entertain these thoughts
Don’t hate me ’cause you ain’t me, baby

You can’t go back in that box
I can’t offer you the right
I can’t offer you the gilded  passage on the stately other side
That’s what you want
But I’ve had too much I hate to say
I bend for all the different ways you move
I blame it on the world
But now I’ll never have the chance to even blame it

Hate,
You hit them where it hurts
Your words mean more than words
It’s better to sublate yourself than burn the backdrop
You’re more than what you are
It’s knowing what you want
It’s knowing how to circumvent the paradox
So, Spencer, put away that gun and please don’t entertain these thoughts
Don’t hate me ’cause you ain’t me, baby, yet

This week's prompt was to choose six brief segments of sound that I recently recorded and then to arrange them, semi-randomly, in descending order of volume.

I am teaching at a summer music camp in New Hampshire, so of course I have been recording lots of sounds! I pulled 5  off of my recorder and used one sound back from my home in Connecticut.

I assigned them numerical values and then rolled an online 6-sided die to arrange what sounds would be louder, quietest, and in the middle. The results were, in descending order of loudness:
1) A recording of rain falling on the other side of a door
2) Some weird AM radio static playing from the speaker of a small bus
3) The alarm of a truck backing up
4) The sound of me walking in my apartment and opening the window to record some birds
5) 4th of July fireworks
6)Some crickets by a pond

I quickly adjusted the volume of each track to put them in order. 
Then, I added a small amount of volume automation via sidechaining so that track 2's volume dipped down when track 1's volume peaked, track 3's volume dipped when track 2's volume peaked, etc. 

Next, I added a little panning to make space for everything.

I tried a LITTLE bit of EQ, but found myself running into the interesting problem of things with less high frequencies "feeling" quieter. So, I was pretty minimalist with the EQ.

After that I added a small amount of FX for some ear candy, including making a delay for the AM radio static, panning the crickets from left to right, and adding some flanger and granular delay to certain points in the rain recording.

There's a lot of percussive sounds in here, which makes it sound pretty dense, but hopefully it will stand on its own as a listening experience!

"Entonces Pedro, abriendo la boca, dijo: En verdad comprendo que Dios no hace acepción de personas, sino que en toda nación se agrada del que le teme y hace justicia. Dios envió mensaje a los hijos de Israel, anunciando el evangelio de la paz por medio de Jesucristo; éste es Señor de todos". Hechos 10:34-36
