We've been so busy this past winter season at Tapeworks that we've neglected our blog! It's been awhile since we gave some updates, so here's some highlights:
August 25th- Joey Pantoliano, aka "Ralph Cifaretto" from The Sopranos, was in the house with his pooch Bogey to do voiceover work for "Cats & Dogs 2", a Warner Bros film. Other notable credits include the Matrix movies, Memento, and Midnight Run. Check out the photo!
September and October brought us four Deloitte podcasts, some varied radio spots, recording and mixing for The Mark Nomad band, a Grayson Hugh's mastering session, and sound design for The Philadelphia Union soccer team (among other things!) We dabble in a little bit of everything here at Tapeworks...
In November, we recorded all sorts of music: from Italian arias, to some hip-hop tracks, and ending with a Jeff Pevar in-house concert. Also threw in an ISDN patch that connected the Pacific Northwest and Denmark. It's always fun when we can reach across the Atlantic and bring our work to other continents!
December saw a mix of jobs, including ski-area radio spots and choir recordings to put us in the holiday spirit. We laid down some musical tracks, ranging from Bosnian be-bop to classical piano, to conclude 2009.
HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR!
In January, we really began to see our LEGO partnership take off, with the arrival of new film shorts to edit. On January 25th, the studio sent out a live feed to Madison, Wisconsin for a WPR radio interview with Dr. Gina Athena Ulysse of Wesleyan University. A Haitian native, Ulysse explained the history of Vodou in Haitian history and how the West's perception of Vodou has influenced public opinion about the religion. Very interesting stuff. Add in audio books for Responsive Classroom and ESPN's Mike & Mike, and you've got a great start to 2010!
February was all about the music, with a few radio and film scores. Audio engineer Bill Ahearn kept the LEGO shorts crankin', along with some other long-term projects.
... and that brings us to: this month! A new project were excited about is a series of clever, credit union radio spots that mix acoustic guitar and comedy, (possible viral video to follow!) Also, we've had some recent sessions to record demos for a local entertainment company. Some past artists they've worked with include Erykah Badu and Avril Lavigne. Here's hoping that they score some more great collaborations with their new hip-hop tracks!
Now that we're all caught up, let's hope we can find some time to keep the updates coming. We're already booking some great projects for the next couple months. Stay tuned!
