Peligro Music and Sound: Seattle’s Best Coffee Brewed by Greg Kuehn
LOS ANGELES, May 26, 2011 — A score from composer Greg Kuehn of Peligro Music and Sound evokes inspiration and opportunity in “Blackstone,” a new spot for Seattle’s Best Coffee’s Brew-lanthropy campaign via Creature. Directed by Matt Ogens, the spot opens with shots of a neighborhood congested with people struggling to survive in the southside of Chicago; Kuehn’s music enters, indicating a ray of hope in the form of this philanthropic project. The endeavor originated as a way of recognizing valuable nonprofit organizations and awarding them for their commendable efforts. Blackstone Bicycle Works, a nonprofit bicycle shop, is the first organization to be recognized by the Brew-lanthropy Project for its endeavors to provide a safe location where children can productively spend their time–in this case, restoring old and unwanted bicycles.

“Swamp People” – which follows real-life swampers through alligator-hunting season and for which duotone audio group‘s Brian Deming composed original music – had the highest rated premiere in the history of the HISTORY Channel, and with the latest episode about to air (Tuesday, Sept 14, @ 10/9c), we wanted to offer a look into Deming’s contribution to this harrowing and inspiring series.
Deming’s work on other reality shows such as “The First 48,” “Dallas SWAT,” and “Max ER,” led to his being brought in to craft an original underscore for “Swamp People.” He explains that his music had to acknowledge the “Louisiana Cajun Culture” that provides the backdrop for the show, and convey the intensity and danger experienced by the alligator hunters.
