Hi All!👋
Thank you for having me onboard. I’m thrilled to help bring OLIPOP’s vibrant world to life through sound. Below are some ideas on how the music can sonify the “Flavor Getaway”, a sonic escape that’s fizzy, nostalgic, and unmistakably summer.
General
The music should capture a reimagined nostalgia: sunkissed, oversaturated, and endearingly imperfect. It’s a sonic counterpart to the vintage travel poster-inspired visuals, conjuring warmth, wanderlust, and a touch of fizz.
Nostalgia
The music can elicit a feeling of longing through...
1. tasteful delays/reverb that hint at hazy optimism
2. Arpeggiated synths or electric pianos that ripple like water reflections.
Imperfections/Human touch
We'll want to instill a human touch, whether it's through...
1. hand percussion that adds drive, rhythmic percolation, and a sense of live performance
2. drums that feel dusty yet punchy, vintage in texture but with modern impact
3. vinyl crackle that adds analog warmth
Sparkle meets grit
Sparkly but gritty mixes and arrangements echo the look of saturated, illustrative travel posters: bold yet weathered, vibrant yet textured.
And that's it! Big thanks to Yuval for helping with some of these references.
The sweet spot lies in fusing the charm of 80s music production and TV travel score aesthetics with the vibrant spirit of 60s Brazilian Tropicália, all grounded in the sleeker, forward-looking sound of 2025+ modern pop.
Would love your input, and always open to other ideas :)
Thank you! 🙏 -Yuta
