MARVIN Media and Porsche Cars North America unite to create the Sound and Driven music series
EntSun News/10953067
Hayley Kiyoko and producer Danja take a drive in a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S as they give their record "Underground" the ultimate car test
LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- MARVIN Media and Porsche Cars North America, Inc., team up for another episode of Sound and Driven™– a series of short films featuring some of music's most respected artists and producers as they take their records on the legendary car test. Historically, artists and producers would jump in a car and drive to give their finished recording a final intimate listen before giving it the final approval. This time, the setting is a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in Dolomite Silver Metallic with a Bose Surround Sound System packing a total output of 710 watts through 14 individually controlled loudspeakers.
Sound and Driven™ follows a carefully curated selection of artists and producers on a journey around Los Angeles in Porsche sports car as they discuss the magic behind their collaboration. The curtain is pulled back as we learn about the inspiration behind the music, working together, how the record was made, and how they approached it creatively and technically.
For the fourth episode of Sound and Driven™, Porsche invites us to join American singer and songwriter Hayley Kiyoko and producer Danja as they leave a recording session at the iconic Larrabee Studios in North Hollywood for a drive around Los Angeles. Reflecting on their collaboration and creative process, they reveal the vulnerable story behind the song 'Underground."
"The car test is one of the most critical points in the mix," said Danja. "When you go to the car, that's the make it or break it. Because you do all this work in the studio and it sounds great — it's checking all the boxes. Then when you go to the car, something's too high, something's too low, there's too much bass. So you have to make those adjustments. Most of us have listened to everything we've ever listened to in our life in the car. The car sound system is important. Whether it's expensive, whether it is cheap, whether you enhance it yourself, whatever the case may be, the car test is critical. The record has to pass the car test."
Kiyoko backs up Danja's poignant words. "Once you finish a song, you get it mixed and then you get it mastered. During the process, you can have 10 to 20 mixes and you get in the car. Normally you listen to your song on amazing speakers at the recording studio or something but you always have to do a car test. When I get a song mixed, I go, 'Hey, I'll let you know. I gotta get in my car. I gotta do the car test.'"
"I've had some artists that do the whole mix in the car," concludes Danja. "We are always in the car. And that's the kind of last resting place sonically for our music. So artists gotta pass the car test."
