- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Music is an immensely powerful, often subliminal, influencer. It impacts mood, motivates people, and affects our daily lives. This connection between music and emotion is integral to humanity. Awareness of this truth empowers you to influence others and possibly know when you are being influenced.
Founded in 1976 by Bob Farnsworth, Hummingbird Productions is one of the longest standing full service music production companies in America. The Nashville-based company has a repertoire of award winning material that includes: "Always Coca-Cola", Wrigley's "Double Double Your Refreshment" and "I Wish I Were an Oscar Mayer Weiner".
Bob has also composed music for numerous IMAX Signature films, including a Paris Film Festival award winner. As president, he has seen Hummingbird win multiple Clio awards, including a Clio Hall of Fame Award for the original Budweiser Frogs sound design.
Bob graduated from Furman University in 1974, and in the same year he was signed as a recording artist with ABC Records.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.
