| All Hands On Health! | Posted By Jim - 7/08 |
We’re putting the finishing touches on a whole batch of music and audio projects for a specialized museum in Oklahoma called Hands On Health, a place designed to help kids learn more about health-related topics. The first and most complicated piece was a rap tune encouraging young people to think about health care as a career (hey, you try keeping your flow even while rapping words like “phlebotomist.”) Jim also produced and provided the voice of a boxing ring announcer for an interactive game showing the effects of smoking on healthy lungs. And finally, we’re wrapping up production on a jingle for the museum that will be used in advertising and video projects, featuring a chorus of voices from the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir. Huge thanks go out to CVC, which has been providing all kinds of exhibit and branding design to Hands On Health and brought the projects our way.

| Didja Know....? | Posted By Jim - 6/08 |
A recent sit-down with one of our favorite clients revealed a distressing fact: some of you don't know everything we can do. Well, let's clear that up right now. Yes, our focus is original music. But we've got the tools and the talent to produce virtually anything that goes in your ear. For example, later this month Jim is doing the final mastering on an album project for an a capella jazz group from South Bend, using his collection of high-end plugs and his excellent ear to "lively up" their sound. In case you didn't know, we also produce great radio spots, create full Foley-style audio for short films, cook up sound design for motion graphics, paint entire "theater of the mind" soundscapes for museum installations... you name it, we've done it. And if we haven't, there's nothing we like better than a new challenge... call and give us one.

| Well, it’s not our First Bank…. | Posted By Jim - 6/08 |
… but they certainly were the first to ask us to do something this original. First Bank of Carmi serves a group of small communities throughout southern Illinois, and their agency MarketEdge called us with a cool challenge: they wanted a song (not a jingle) that didn’t mention products, services or even the bank itself. They just wanted the song to project the feeling a resident of their market might have about their hometown. The only requirement was that it be done in a soft rock style and that it use their tagline, “Where Great Things Happen.” The result was one of our favorite songs of the past couple years. Thanks to Linda Henning from MarketEdge for the terrific opportunity and excellent direction.
