Offical Opening!

We had our official opening of our new recording studio! In attendance were all the luminaries from daCapo Productions, including (from left to right) The Honorable Kevin Aichele, Olaf Pyttlik (Esquire), Nolan Balzer (Pig Searer), and Annalee Schellenberg (Spouse Extraordinaire of Steinbach Mayoral Hopeful). All went well.... until Kevin dropped the official scissors, at which point we revoked his 'Honorable' prefix and re-christened him Kevin 'The Klutzy'. Anyhow, Kevin finally got to sit behind his new workstation.... .... and we all listened in wonder to his first audio construction. You can listen to it too by clicking here!

New Staff, New Studio!

Well, it is now official, we have a new studio and new staff! As seen in these lovely photos, Olaf finished painting the new facility last week... ...note the lovely shade of yellow, which was the subject of much personal soul searching on Olaf's part... Painting always reminds me of when we were painting the outside of our building last year, and the paint store across the street from us RAN OUT OF PAINT! This, of course, reminded us of Monty Python's "Cheese Shop" sketch, and prompted us to update it for the paint store... you can listen to it by clicking here! Here we see Kevin moving into his new studio which we have dubbed "Baker Street", our other studios being named "Piccadilly Circus" and "Leicester Square" respectively. ...unfortunately, 10 minutes after moving in to the studio, Kevin tried to mitigate the bright yellow of the studio walls by using a soldering iron on himself OH NO!
