Have recently put my voice to a new UNESCO campaign championing and officially recognising the importance of the Mediterranean Diet. At the end of July I was called to voice another promotional piece for Superleague Formula, a new motor racing series with teams sponsored by and bearing the colors of prominent football clubs including AC Milan, Liverpool F.C Olympiacos CFP, FC Porto, Borussia Dortmund, AS Roma, Tottenham Hotspur, PSV Eindhoven and Rangers, Unfortunately we couldn’t make the first race that took place at Donnington at the end of August.

The song ‘Change The World’ recorded last year with top North American singer Elisabeth Gray for Sony ATV Publishing, has been taken by Dreamworks USA for an upcoming production. I’m not sure of the film title as yet but it looks likely we will have the chance to work on more songs for the project.The song was one of three recent Sony/ATV tracks I’ve worked on including Marta Sanchez’s ‘One and Only’ and ‘Casanova’ sung by Gisela.

Have been commissioned by Manel Gil the composer of the Soundtrack to produce four songs including the title track to the animated feature co produced by Accio/TVE and TV3 and directed by Miquel Pujol. The film has been 5 years in production (I think the budget is around 7 million euros) and the Soundtrack is being recorded with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra in July. Great to work again with Emilio Alquézar, my mentor from the Duy Sonido days. The songs are taking shape and we’re looking for a great singer for the title track.

The production company Cromasoma well known for their ‘Triplets’ series have begun dubbing the new 52 episode series ‘Asha’. Based on the life of Asha Miró who came to Barcelona as a small girl from India, the story follows the adventures of Asha and her pals in the Mediteranean City. Sarah Davison is directing the dubbing and I’m playing the part Asha’s father. Coordinating the production is Dani Zacarias.

Have now completed narrating half the series Zoomix for Neptuno films. It’s a beautifully made production about animals for pre school children and I’ve have really enjoyed the recordings at International Sound Studios in Barcelona. Neptuno films have come to an agreement with Disney Latin America for the series there.

Other recent spoken voice recordings include Vodafone, Torres wines, several audio museum guides and megaphone anouncements for the F1 race at the Montmelo track which I went to with my son. In May also sang the title track to Christmas Animated film Santa vs Claus for a production company in Madrid.

Good news from the US is that a song ‘Change the world’ that I co-wrote with Jordi Cubino for Sony/ATV has been put on hold in the States by Sony. It was originally aimed as an Olympic pitch for China 2008. More news as and when the artist performing the song is confirmed. Back to Europe, and Gisela did a great job of performing Casanova at the Eurovision contest in Belgrade. She didn’t make it through to the final but the BBC presenter during the semi final said the song was her favourite. Casanova which I adapted into English is now being released on a number of compilations including the official Eurovision album.

Got together with Carles Mateu and Pito Costa my partners at Warner Tales to record four songs for Takemaker studios including a piano ballad version that I sang of the song ‘I can see a rainbow’ song. I’d never realized what a beautiful melody it had! As usual it was great working together and lunch at Cayo Largo in Badalona was fantastic!

Recent voice work includes TV ads for Polaris World (UK), Polti(Italy) and Smint(Spain) with corporate pieces for Seat, Volkswagen, The Egyptian Tourist Board, Teka (ovens) Torres (wine) and a series of audioguides for six major European cities. Other guides included the Toy Museum and Jewish Museum of Gerona with Sarah Davison.
