It was a privilege for us to work with acclaimed film director Harmony Korine, best known for his movies Mister Lonely, Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy and seminal screenplay Kids.
The hard-hitting, bebop style drum soundtrack was conceived to propel the story of a couple who find the touch of each other's skin so irresistable they take up recreational wrestling. Fortunately, our recording schedule coincided with the UK leg of drumming virtuoso Earl Harvin's European tour and he graciously scored the emphatic track to picture for us between shows.
To achieve this authentic sound, we mic'd and amplified a vintage Grestsch jazz drum kit to correspond aurally with legendary sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder's classic Blue Note recordings.
For Lynx, the campaign marks a creative departure coinciding with their strategic play for a broader market.
