Whether it's for TV, video games, film or a 30 second commercial...the song elements of melody, hook and structure are present. Even in Sound Design we crave a richness of texture that's musical. Why? Because that's how our minds process sound. Songs touch our emotions below the surface and resonate in our memories. And truly, isn't that the connection we're trying to make with all of our creative content...

So here’s how a New York ad man once described me:

“The versatility displayed in Darby Orr’s thematic compositions for cinema, television and the commercial worlds is an extraordinary testament to how uniquely he hears film and video. From Fox’s "Drive" to dramatic trailers for Buena Vista Pictures, his soundtracks for Time Warner and DirecTV to his theme song and Beatles remix for Mercedes-Benz’s international launch, Darby takes the moving image to the next level. He’s also been responsible for music production and sound design on more than a dozen independent film, video and spot projects.”
