tyDi re-imagined multiple classic Disney songs for the latest 2018 incarnation of the world famous ‘Disney on Ice’ show. A unique experience that tapped into Illingworth's strengths as both a producer and a composer, he was asked to re-create completely new versions of the songs and meld them to suit the choreography as it was being finessed on the ice. Recording live players, vocalists and re-arranging the songs, tyDi added his staple sound and production style to music that will now tour the world to stadiums of Disney fans.
In this original musical composition tyDi brings a touch of mystery, class and family warmth to a holiday themed ad for Swarovski and Elle, again showing his diversity as a composer.
tyDi wrote, composed (with jazz violinist Gabriel Majou), recorded, engineered and produced original music for a brand collaboration between Stella Artois and Harper’s Bazaar.
