Sometimes groundbreaking products need a little help in the marketplace—someone to show potential customers the product's possibilities and how it will enhance their lives. For this, companies often need a dash of creativity in the form of demo files, musical examples, professional photography or videography. If your company is releasing a new and creative product, then new and creative media should be introduced to help market that product.

Why ULTRAsomething?

ULTRAsomething's founder, grEGORy simpson, has been active in the arts from an early age. He was a successful synthesizer sound designer in the 80's; a composer, producer, and musician with his bands, Grace Darling and Bartholomew Fair in the 90's; and a working composer for film, dance, and the web throughout the decades.

His passion for photography, design, and video further fuel his desires to create both new media and new products with which to create or experience this media. Creative specialties include:

  1. ★Music Composition

  2. ULTRAsomething has an extensive 24–bit modern digital recording studio with dozens of instruments, synthesizers, samplers, effects, and software applications. Mr. Simpson is experienced in composing and producing many styles of music, but has personal preferences that lean toward the moody, cinematic, or avant-garde. A small collection of various songs can be heard here.

  3. ★Sound Design

  4. Mr. Simpson's first company, Sardonic Sounds, was founded in 1986 for the purpose of creating and selling new programs and sounds for various synthesizers. Today, ULTRAsomething's studio is stocked with many modern sound-design tools—both hardware and software—and it continues to provide sound design services for a variety of synthesizer developers. Still active in sound design, Mr. Simpson recently created the Journeys sound bank for Applied Acoustics’ String Studio modeling plugin. An interview with Mr. Simpson appeared on their website, and a number of favorable reviews ensued.

  5. ★Photography and Video

  6. Equipped with several digital SLR and DV cameras, numerous lenses, multiple studio strobes and hot lights, and a unique visual perspective, ULTRAsomething can create image and style through photography and video. Most recently, Mr. Simpson plied his photograhic skills as the official Parks Photographer for BC Parks (British Columbia, Canada).

  7. ★Graphic Design

  8. Subscribing to an esthetic of simple minimalism, ULTRAsomething can create sharp, striking designs for product interfaces, corporate identity, or advertisements.
