Tapeworks Goes Gospel

The sound of heavenly gospel voices reverberated in the studio this week as four women rehearsed in a practice room at Tapeworks. The voices belonged to members of the contemporary Christian band "Seventh" who is recording their newest CD at Tapeworks. Seventh’s music is inspiring combination of gospel, jazz, and rock complete with phenomenal musicianship. Tapeworks' chief engineer Bill Ahearn helped the group layer their compositions from simple piano/bass/drums arrangements to lush musical soundscapes. Seventh recorded five of their original songs at the studio and will soon send off their master for duplication before their upcoming tour.

An Award-Winning Month at Tapeworks

May has been a rewarding month for Tapeworks. The studio has received two awards from its recent productions in both the audio and video fields. The first accolade, a 2009 Lamplighter Award, recognizes outstanding healthcare communications and Tapeworks was selected for a unique radio advertisement produced for the Hospital of Central Connecticut. The radio spot "Say Ahh" featured a funny and informative script, original music, and a professional cast of narrators and singers. The creative juices and ingenuity found in the studio helped make the concept a reality and the staff was honored to receive the award .

The studio's recent video production, "Familes Are A Work of Art" produced for CAFAP (Connecticut Association of Foster and Adoptive Parents), was recognized by a 2009 Silver Mercury award. This awards are given to the best public relations campaigns that the area has to offer and Tapeworks was recognized for a informational video it produced for potential foster parents. "This was a very satisfying project to work on and we are pleased with the results it brought to the organization" commented Doug Kupper, the owner of Tapeworks.
