The Sound of a City
Music = Communication
It really is! Music has been around for 100,000 years and it has been very important in human evolution. Music belongs to people, is part of people, of who we are, it’s part of our identities
Now, for the first time ever, a city will start using music in its identity!
Tilburg, in the Netherlands, is a pioneering city taking on a music as part of their “corporate” identity, as part of who they are. Music right beside logo, font, colours and mission statement.
The Power of Music
Music binds and music connects. Music is evolutions powerful way of connecting people. In Tilburg we are now using this power to connect. We do this in a unique way by asking all creative people to co-operate. All musicians, producers, choirs, amateurs, pro’s, bands, singers and rappers are all invited to work wíth us on the Sound of Tilburg.
Working closely together with Tilburg Alderman Marcella Hendrikx and City Marketing Tilburg, we are proud to announce the download link of the stems of the Tilburg Tune. (Stems are: all individial parts that make together the music as it now is. So bass, drums, trumpet, guitar and choir
all on solo tracks).
Everyone is invited to do “their thing” with these stems. Remix, sing, rap, add tracks anything goes.. as long as it has something to do with Tilburg. (the download link will follow asap)
DNA
With Music First Group music we write music based on DNA. DNA of an artist but just as easy DNA of a company, brand, event or product. CMO and composer Erwin Steijlen: “If you find the right DNA words you can write the right music.” The DNA words for Tilburg are:
social, experimental, rebelious, raw, humor, honest, decisive, authentic, doers
We went viral when we announced Tilburg Tune.. most newspapers did interviews such as Trouw and Brabants Dagblad, radio stations like 538, Veronica, NPO, Radio 1, Radio 2 and tv programs like RTL Editie NL and Jinek talked about it…
