War is hell.
But creating sound design for war? Well, that's just fun as hell. For the Military Channel's series "Greatest Tank Battles" we've been blowing a lot of stuff up.
We're having a great time doing it, but we take it seriously! We aim for creating a mix of authentic tank- and ordinance-specific sounds as well as some more Hollywood style effects to get you as close to the action as you'll ever want to be. This episode is on the battle of El Alamein in WWII.

UPDATE: Wildwater Wins at Salem and Kendal!
UPDATE: WildWater wins top prize - "Best Adventure Film" - at Kendal Mountain Fest (one of the "Big 4" in the genre) - including a specific shout out for the "meticulous" attention to sound design!

Congrats to our friends at FORGE Motion Pictures - their film "Wildwater" won Best Short Film at the Salem Film Festival. Kip created some custom music for the film's score, and Greg did some wicked sound design, driven by his own experience as a white water junkie. Mixed in glorious 5.1 surround sound by part-time Couper and full-time cool guy Kelly Garry along with Supervising Mixer Ed Kaufman.

National Anthem at the Democratic National Convention
Just moments ago, Kip and Ed finished mixing the National Anthem recording which Jennifer Hudson will be singing over at Barack Obama's nomination tomorrow.
The beautifully orchestrated arrangement (By noted composer/arranger Ray Chew) comprised 120 tracks of instruments and took about eight hours to mix.
It's a thing of beauty!
We were honored by the opportunity to work with Ray, who's composed for and performed with the likes of James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, The 4 Tops, Barry Manilow, Sting, Quincy Jones, Aretha Franklin and Alicia Keys.
In addition to these performances, Ray maintains his tenure as Musical Director for the Apollo Theater Foundation, recently acting as co-producer for their annual spring benefit concert. He produced and performed a Tribute to James Brown featuring Wyclef Jean, Jill Scott, Mos Def and Maceo Parker on the World Famous Apollo Theater stage.
Ray’s recording career spans from legendary artists Diana Ross and Donny Hathaway through Alicia Keys’s three Grammy award-winning albums. He has orchestrated for and appeared on many television specials including the 44th, 46th and 47th Annual Grammy Awards, VH-1’s Save the Music Concert, MTV Unplugged, Nobel Peace Prize Concert and the World Music Awards. Ray also performed with Grammy Award winner Rihanna, in six countries as pianist and conductor on her hit “Unfaithful”.
Ray’s most grand orchestrating work to date was for “The Diary of Alicia Keys” farewell tour performance at L.A.’s Hollywood Bowl where he conducted a 63-piece orchestra for a special DVD.
