Oscar Nomination!

We were pleased enough to get to work on the powerful documentary "Saving Face" to begin with - but when the Academy Award nominations were announced this morning, we were really thrilled. Saving Face is nominated in the Best Documentary Short category. Coupe's Senior Engineer Ed Kaufman worked closely with editor Davis Coombe on the film, which marks the second Oscar nod for filmmaker Daniel Junge, who traveled to Pakistan to tell the story of survivors of brutal acid attacks.

Bop Skizzum Live at Coupe

Coupe has partnered up with our friends at the recently revitalized Radio 1190 (University of Colorado) for 1190 Presents: Live at Coupe Studios which will feature national touring acts and notable locals performing in our Studio A. First up? Colorado funk legends Bop Skizzum:

Jazz Album of the Year

Congrats to our own multi - instrumentalist / producer Kip Kuepper and Steve and Dave Watts of Dotsero: Their album "Storyhouse" was named Album of The Year by JazzTrax!

Bonus: The single "Kansas Ballet Song" took home the honor of Song of The Year!

Cougars! No, not that kind.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with a couple of the coolest guys in the whole durned wild west on this one. The filmmakers came down to Boulder from Wyoming to do some original music scoring and surround sound mixing with us.

They captured footage of these incredible animals that's never been seen before. It'll blow your mind and terrify your house cat.

Domino's Keeps it Real. And Local.

When Crispin Porter approached Coupe about a new Domino's radio spot, they figured they'd be setting up a remote record in NY or LA, since the spot called for gathering a lot of diverse man-on-the-street interviews. Coupe had another suggestion: Why not do it here in Boulder? There is certainly no lack of interesting people to talk to on the Pearl Street Mall. We lined up some great local talent options, and they chose the effervescent Matt Sheahan to be the Domino's driver conducting the interviews.

Say Hello to Blockbuster. Again!

Netflix stumbles. Blockbuster seizes the moment.

When industry giant Netflix stirred the ire of their customers, Blockbuster wasted no time in responding with a friendly reminder that Netflix isn't the only game in town!

Coupe composed original music, created the sound design and mixed the spot. We were particularly tickled when a Colorado-based VO talent beat out dozens of other voices in a nation-wide casting to voice the campaign. Keep your eyes open for more from the adorable mailboxes, as well as a radio campaign we're working on.



Original Music / Sound Design: Kip Kuepper
