What's the music ITV1 plays when trailering its Spring schedule?
I've heard this music so many times as background to trailers, even for the Olympics on the BBC last year and then from ITV whilst trailering the X Factor. ITV1 has been playing it today when trailering up and coming programmes for the new season. It is electronic music, very simple and rhythmic. Does anyone know what it is?

The Birdy track is being used on the Broadchurch promo. Here's a piece that's been used a lot lately, maybe it's Brian Eno:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKw5mbcE7VY Okay, it's like this. The music is very rhythmic. In the main theme used to advertise the Olympics and the X Factor last year, one note is played in a rhythm which, if the timing was 8/8, would mean the note being played on beats 1,3,4,6,8. This rhythm is repeated throughout. After two bars of one note being played in this rhythm, a different note, 3 semitones (or if you prefer, a diminished, or "minor" 3rd) above the first then carries on the same rhythm and plays for a bar before going up a tone and then coming back all the way down to the start again through the same notes in the 4th bar. Then repeat... A different theme, perhaps a little less rhythmic, but almost certainly part of the same piece of music, was used on ITV1 tonight, during the commercial breaks of "Mr Selfridge" to preview their Spring programme lineup. It seems insane to be trying to describe it like this; if I had a program I could put it on and upload it I would because it must be dead easy to play, it's only got about 3 or 4 different notes in it and the rhythm doesn't really change throughout. The even more insane thing is that I'm so bothered about it, but it has a really haunting quality to it and it is totally bugging me that I don't know who it's by or what it's called! The most insane thing of all is that if I knew how to use all the recording and processing software on my laptop properly, I would be able to recreate it easily - but I still wouldn't know what it was called! lol

Oh and hear's another way of describing it. I don't know the key it's actually in, but if it was in A minor (which it might well be), the notes used would be as follows (with the root chords shown beneath):
AAAAAAAAAACCCCCDDCCGAAAAAAAAAACCCCCDDCCG F Am F Am Oh dear, most of those chords appear in the wrong place. Basically, the root chord changes at the beginning of each bar. |
