Up to our ears in ideas... and jobs!

It's been a long while between updates here, but certainly not for lack of activity.  The jobs have been pouring in and there's plenty to report about the last 1 1/2 months at Tapeworks, now that we have a chance to take a breath - albeit, a short one!


May the Fourth Be With You P.2
Chief Engineer Bill Ahearn was hard at work on producing some viral video magic for the second straight year: Star Wars, Lego, Tapeworks, and "the kid with the incredible Lego collection" joined forces earlier this month to sound-design and score the follow-up to last year's monster viral hit, "The Fastest and Funniest LEGO Star Wars story ever told".  Once again, we enlisted the guitar-shredding prowess of our friend Jimi Bell, and if you thought the first video was metal-tastic, you'll love the newest video, which you can watch here.  Thanks to Bill's son, Zack Ahearn, for lending his voice to the project!



Stony Brook Invades Hartford
On the weekend of April 10/11, Tapeworks was home to a couple of marathon recording sessions with the Stony Brook Vocalists, who were recording their debut album with engineer Chris Lennie.  Their energy and enthusiasm were contagious and we got some great results from their work.  Check out their website for details on album availability and release updates, as well as audio and video clips of the group's live performances in the meantime.



It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Golf Season....
Last week, famed Sportscaster and ESPN anchorman Chris Berman was in our studio recording promos for the upcoming 2011 PGA Travelers Championship.  The event will take place at the TPC Highlands golf course in Cromwell, CT during the week June 20-26, and feature a bevy of renowned PGA pros, including Vijay Singh, Padraig Harrington, John Daly, Hunter Mahan, and 2010 winner Bubba Watson.  We were honored to have Mr. Berman's "Boomer"-ing baritone filling our halls once again!


Whew!  We've already had a full-season's worth of excitement, and Spring is only half-over.  Can't wait to see what the next month will bring...
