Seek Light

Client: The University of Adelaide

Agency: Nation

Featuring members of the Elder Conservatorium String Orchestra and the Elder Conservatorium Chorale.

The idea for this campaign was based on the University’s motto “Sub Cruce Lumen”, i.e., “The light (of learning) under the southern cross.” I had to create a composition that reflected the inspiration for such learning and the acquiring of new knowledge. By far one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever embarked upon, I composed the music using my computer and samplers, which I later layered with live performances by members of the Elder Conservatorium – the University’s music school from which I had graduated from.

Later, the music was mixed together at the South Australian Film Corporation by Pete Smith. It was a pleasure working with such talent, and to be a part of such an exciting process.
