It’s the audio production equivalent of “make the logo bigger.” In my 20 years of production, I’ve never heard a spot I mixed on the air in which the music competed with the VO, but I’ve heard plenty that made me wonder why we bothered to put music in the spot. It has to do[…]
Fire wood chirping by redchuck I captured this at home with my Iphone using SoundCloud’s app. We had a fire going and suddenly I heard birds chirping. I ran over to the fireplace worried that we were smoking-out a birds nest in the chimney. Turns out it was the wood… chirping??? Weird. Can you hear[…]
Things I googletubed after reading Pulphead by John Jeremiah Sullivan:
Somehow I completely missed Colin Stetson‘s 2011 release New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges until it started showing up on people’s end-of-the-year best-of lists. What to say? Dude’s a monster. Also engineer Efrim Menuck, producer Shahzad Ismaily and other producer Ben Frost did an amazing job capturing and mixing this. From what I’ve read, something like[…]
I may be late to the party, but this is my new regular listen. Nonesuch Radio
Yeah. I wish Alasadir Gray had created this for us. Nope. They are going in Hillhead subway station in Glasgow, Scotland. Oh well. They are certainly cool. As is this short video from the Guardian wherein Alasdair… ahem… excuse me… *achoo*… wherein…. *cough*… ahem… wherein Alasdair describes the murals.
The Socrates of San Francisco: Howard Luck Gossage from ETIO on Vimeo. I think Martin Wilford first mentioned Howard Gossage to me. Check out this trailer for the as yet uncompleted documentary. I’d love to see the finished product.
3 Brands Recreated On A Desert Island | Braid Creative. Check it, we did a desert island branding exercise with Braid! Fun exercise. We were actually sweating the details a little. What objects best symbolize what we do??? Hmm… We had quite a list going. A couple of items that didn’t make the cut[…]
We get calls pretty often: “Do you guys do beats?” No, but this guy is awesome! Via Boing Boing

So… we’ve got a new VO booth. It’s pretty cool. We’ll have hi-res pictures soon. But, so far, the talent’s been diggin’ our new digs. Here’s an Instagram I got of Adrian last week. Maybe this can be a new thing too. Instead of Sleeve Faces we can start shooting Script Faces.
Just an idea. I mean, we know they are other Lucky Dog businesses out there. So, why not? Here’s one our buddy Dave sent us from Everett, Washington. Yeah! Dig that. Lucky Dog Sports bar. I googled them and it turns out they are a new business. Awesome. Best of luck guys. We like the looks[…]
Pretty cool stuff. Apparently the Daft Punk guys backed up Koto in ’84 to help promote the “Jabdah” single. Unfortunately they were only allowed to play Koto’s analog BBQ smoker. But, in this video, you can totally see the ginormous influence Koto had on Daft Punk as a duo, both as composers and performers. Totally.
This is not the Wilhelm Scream you are looking for. Happy Valentines Day, btw.
The Webelos were just here! Well, it was actually a couple of weekends ago. A Sunday to be exact. Anyway, the Webelos of Troop 30 were here to work on their Communicator badge. To do so, they toured our fine recording studio and then got to produce their very own radio spot. Using Bumpercar’s Nashville[…]
