The search for a sound identity: this is how the institutional music of TecnoCampus was born

It all started with a creative challenge: how could we put sound to the essence of TecnoCampus? We decided to open a participatory process to the entire community with the "Produce the institutional music of TecnoCampus" contest.

From all the proposals received, a jury chose the three finalists, and the voting phase was opened among the entire community. With a total of 181 votes registered, the piece by Carles Jorquera, a student of the Degree in Audiovisual Media, was the one that best captured the energy of the campus. Although the competition included a prize of accommodation on the Costa Brava, courtesy of the competition sponsor (the university residence Atenea Living) and €150 for the art of TecnoCampus, the most important part of the project was still to come: the production, recording and dissemination phase.

From proposal to professional sound: the production process

Once the winning piece was chosen, the project entered a production phase at the TecnoCampus studios. The process consisted of three key stages: 

Arrangements: Based on the student's proposal, he and Professor Àngel Valverde, a specialist in the subject and professor of the Degree in Audiovisual Media, worked on the arrangements.

Recording real instruments: To give "soul" and warmth to the composition, synthetic elements have been replaced by live recordings with high-end equipment and the help of professional string musicians.

Mix and professional master: Every sonic nuance has been worked on to ensure that the piece has the power and clarity of a high-level production. 

The final result: A sound identity that not only represents TecnoCampus, but also demonstrates the talent and technical potential of our community. You can now enjoy a fragment of the institutional music, which will accompany us for the first time during this year's graduations.

 

Many thanks to all the participants for their effort and dedication and to the TecnoCampus community for participating in the choice of their institutional music! We hope you liked the final production 🎵.
