GPO in Mercedes Benz Advertisement

Kiku Hibino has recently produced the orchestral music for an advertisement of the Mercedes Benz CLS Class in Japan.

You can watch the advertisement by following the link below, and click the CLS-Class Special.

All the music is using GPO except for soprano voice. There are four scenes with different themes: Scene 1 -Concept, Secene 2 - Exterior, Scene 3 - Interior, Scene 4 - Technology. The music is very inspired and conveys the quality of a Mercedes.

Mercedes is a name synonymous with quality and it's an honor for GPO to be in such good company.

Enjoy,

Gary Garritan

Very nice. I did notice that the introduction "people in a concert hall waiting for the performance to begin" noises were all people talking in English.

Wow! Holly Macaroni!

Okay, now I'm jealous. When are they going to use GPO in a Corvette commercial?

cool... did you guys notice the music was interactive? It changes with every new slide (scene 1).

I used GPO for a Lexus commercial, but it didn't make final... so I guess it doesn't count.

This is really nice. The first section is really unfathomable, and the clarinet is played like a car horn, but I really, really like the 2nd 3rd and 4th sections. Two thumbs up!
