Technology meets art for Philips TV promotion
Universal Music recording artist Sheku Kanneh-Mason gained international recognition by winning the BBC Young Musician 2016, before going on to issue two top 20 albums by the age of 21. He’s also the only artist to be invited to perform on a second occasion at the British Academy Film Awards.
Sheku is no stranger to Abbey Road, having recorded his top 10 album Elgar at the studios, (becoming the first cellist in chart history to reach the UK Album Top 10).
“I was really happy to be asked to take part in this project as I’m lucky enough to have had the amazing experience of making recordings at Abbey Road Studios,” said Sheku Kanneh-Mason. “Its history and iconic status are awe-inspiring and everything that happens there is of the highest technological quality. I’m always interested in exploring how to present classical music in a new way and this seems a wonderful opportunity to do just that, combining the best of sound and vision.”
Chief Marketing Officer for TP Vision, Martijn Smelt said: ‘Our partnership with Bowers & Wilkins on OLED+ products has already set a new quality threshold in the TV market but we have also both been working together behind the scenes with Abbey Road Studios to help produce content quality to new standards. We are delighted that we will be able to publicly show the results of our combined skill sets with an artist and an immersive production that are both really very special.”
Commenting on behalf of Abbey Road Studios General Manager, Jeremy Huffelmann said: “Abbey Road Studios sits at the intersection of sound and vision, having witnessed the recording of some of the greatest film scores in modern cinema. By collaborating with TP Vision and Bowers & Wilkins, we are excited to showcase how sonic and visual excellence can combine to redefine the viewing experience, to create a new standard of immersion.”
The results of the project will be officially unveiled during the Philips TV & Sound Autumn/Winter product unveiling at the end of August.
