Edmonton, AB Canada

We are now a ProTools HD Studio!!!

We are waiting for final site work to be done for a special outdoor sound installation on the Prairie Walk that has been constructed between Festival Place and the Strathcona County Public Library and Community Complex in the heart of Sherwood Park.

This is in colloboration with Tricycle, a trio of sculpters, Catherine Burgess, Royden Mills and Walter Jule.

Once the concrete pads and the electrical installation is complete, we will mount the speaker/amplifier enclosures and install the system and get it up and running.

The system is designed to run from Dawn to dusk year round.

The audio design and mix was done by Downy Karvonen and the equipment design and assembly was done by Jerry Krepakevich.

The Sound design and Mix that we did for our friend and colleague Kathy Turco on "Spririt of the Arctic" won the award for "Outstanding Sound Design" at the Japan Wlidlife Film Festival 2011.

We recently completed the audio post for a film by Pirkko Karvonen, Andrea Hansen.

We will soon be working on a documentary about Downy's Father, renowned Wildlife Filmmaker Albert Karvonen.

Recently completed were a number of short videos for Shadowland Productions for Alberta Education as well as a major location shoot that saw both Downy and Jerry recording audio in up to 6 rooms at the same time. You'll have to talk to us about that but we won't tell...trade secret!

Recently completed was a 4 minute Internet animation project for David Bates.

Also completed in the last while is a 5.1 surround sound edit and mix for a 72 minute feature documentary on singer/songwriter Bill Bourne. Called "For the record: Bill Bourne", the doc is a pilot episode for a series created by a consortium of media people in Edmonton led by Ben Babchishin of Hired gun Productions on Canadian mucisians as they record their latest album.

We are part of the consortium so buy our DVD!!!!
