Film composer Tobias Enhus used Kyma to score a TV spot for UK mobile phone network O2. Unusual in its lack of either voice-over or sound effects, the hypnotic combination of images and music has been airing in the UK for the past two years and has even inspired a popular ringtone. All drums were synthesized in Kyma, and the reverse shaker sound was generated by Enhus' patch called ReGrain. An arpeggiated bell was generated with Synclavier FM, the bass drop is from his analog modular synth, and the female vocal is what Enhus calls his "canned wife" vocal samples performed by his wife Marissa (who happens to be a professional vocalist and composer), and resynthesized in Kyma under control of a Max Mathews Radio Baton.
