2/26/2024: A Week in the Life of a Music Curator
Bella O -
I have been put to work at Classic Promenade this past week. I was tasked to do research on a 1959 Buick Electra 225 Convertible I mentioned last week to help write a description for the car in order to sell it. I learned about how this car was the first generation of Buick Electras, and it is distinct because of a new styling which included slanted headlights in front and a highly chromed square grille. The Buick Electra was introduced in 1959 replacing the Roadster and Super as Buick’s premium model.
A huge part of selling these classic cars is creating promotional materials such as videos of Harry or Chip explaining the details of the cars and then videoing the cars being driven with a drone. I had the job of selecting new background music for these videos. I used Sound Stripe to filter through instrumental music with an uplifting and inspirational mood. Because the age demographic for customers of this dealership is 65+, due to the rarity and the pricey nature of these cars, I was instructed to select songs that matched the vibe of the older generation. I also had to make a few more phone calls to try to source a 2.5 inch parking cap for a Phantom 2 Rolls Royce. I was unsuccessful in finding this part yet again, but will continue to help them look for this cap.
I have started watching the series 100 Days to Indy, which is similar to Drive to Survive, and I am learning about the interworking of the different IndyCar teams. Whether it be the drivers, engineers, or strategists, I find it fascinating to see the behind the scenes of this sport because of its complexity and the passions these teams have to win.
