Sony Creates first Ever Monophonic Commercial for the Walkman Project

Topic:

If you saw that sweet Sony BRAVIA commercial with the exploding paint cans, you have an idea of the lengths Sony will go to for a cool commercial. Sony is ramping up for its next cool commercial with what it is calling the first ever “monophonic “ ad.

The ad is for the Walkman Project, which is promoting the new line of Sony Walkman PMP devices and is called “Music Pieces”. The same team that put the BRAVIA commercial trilogy together is behind the Walkman ad, so it should be cool.

Right now, the only thing on the Sony site is a teaser showing the musicians filing into London’s Alexandra Palace with all sorts of musical instruments from toy pianos to guitars and some sort of weird flute looking keyboard device. The idea for the commercial is to arrange the musicians by instrument group to form an acoustic grid creating spectacular waves of sound and movement as each note is played in sequence. Read more
