About

Because sound and music are essential across a variety of media, I have the chance to explore new horizons and get in touch with the most interesting people from all around the world. This project is a great example of that!

Have you thought about plastic surgery and how music would play a role in this? 😁

Had the chance to compose and produce the music for “The Slice Is Right”, a podcast led by Dr. Scott Ogley and Dr. Aldo Guerra, two board-certified plastic surgeons in Scottsdale, Arizona (US).

Process

Had a talk with Genaro Guerra, business manager at Guerra Plastic Surgery Center (Scottsdale, Arizona, US), who wanted something kind of upbeat, fun and energetic for the presentation of this new podcast.

At first I was reluctant in adding vocals for this piece, because I didn’t want them to be a distraction, but after composing a rough demo, I was feeling the mood of the song and ended up doing them, based on the “motto” of their work and how the patients were supper happy.

I recorded several vocals to deliver the theme of the podcast (“We do it right”, “The Slice is Right”). Later, after the song was almost done, added a line from a movie (The Amazing Mr. X, which is in public domain) emphasizing the look into the future, rather than probing into the past. To make the song more interesting.

There are two versions, 15s and a 1min, to allow some flexibility for the upcoming episodes and related content. Client loved it and I was happy with the result as well!
