SAINTS - Dark Country

The latest from our favorite Scottish lads. Recorded and mixed here at Coupe with Greg McRae. Somebody smart better pick up this song for a movie placement quick:

Solitaire in Glorious 5.1

Sweetgrass Productions just returned from an epic backcountry ski shoot in South America for their new feature, "Solitaire." Thanks to the backing of Patagonia and some other big name sponsors, they'll be here in Colorado doing their post production and music scoring at Coupe. Joining Coupe's in-house composers for the film's score will also be "quantum cellist" Zoe Keating and some other great talents scouted by our friends at Johnson&Kennemer. Once the score and sound design is done, Coupe's mixers will give Solitaire the 5.1 surround treatment for the film's premiere in Denver on September 15th before it heads out on the festival circuit. Check out the trailer, and start getting excited for winter:

All Stars in Studio A Today

We're delighted to host local legend Rebecca Folsom and members of The Subdudes here today as they work on a charity project for Blue Sky Bridge, a Children's Advocacy Center dedicated to the prevention of and intervention in child abuse.
We'll keep you posted as to the musical charity's release and other news, and in the meantime, check out The Subdudes on HBO's fantastic show Treme.

Aaron is CRAS.

We were thumbing through the latest issue of Mix Magazine (required reading for audio nerds such as ourselves), and look who's staring back at us just below an article on Ween. Why it's our very own Aaron Garrison, Coupe Junior Engineer and graduate of the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences. He's kind of a big deal, apparently. But we've known that for years.

Trade up!

We performed some dramatic sound design and gussied up and customized some library music for this web video pre-roll for Best Buy.

Catching Crabs. Gold at PROMAX!

We sweetened and mixed this integrated campaign for Despicable Me/Deadliest Catch for Discovery Channel/Impossible. And what do you know? It just won a Gold Medal at PROMAX. Catching crabs never felt so good.
