For this outing, we had the pleasure of having Ben join the fun! Ben is a friend of Clint and Olaf's who is visiting from Nashville. Overall, it was tons and tons of fun and as usual we had a ton of good laughs. Check out the pictures below!

A great big group of fourteen DACAPO employees &amp; significant others did some major "wine sampling" and dining at Inferno's Bistro. Although, one of us ended up at the WRONG RESTAURANT (ahem...KEVIN AICHELE) and one of us almost died due to an allergic reaction from eating a bread like product that contained nuts (me.) it was overall a fantastic night. It was great to sit around, relax, laugh until our tummies hurt and enjoy each other's company...because...we don't ever get to do that at the studio. It's all work and no play in the studio, right guys? Here are a few pictures from our Dinner! </div> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_91ZjHZfEcNg/S42UNXe1IMI/AAAAAAAAAEU/NZOGPAk65NE/s1600-h/IMG_8975.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block;

I'm the new guy at DACAPO. Well, not completely new - I've been here for 4 months, but I'm still the last guy in the door. I've always found that it takes some time to adjust to a new workplace and as much as you adjust to the new workplace the company adjusts to you. <br><br> This place is different. <br><br> Now, there are people who cover their office or cubicle walls with posters with sayings like: <em>Hang in there!</em> (accompanied by a large photo of a kitten hanging from a branch with both arms.) These people should be taken out into the street and beat about the head and neck with heavy bats. But that is a rant for another time. The reason I mention these defective rejects is that having been at DACAPO for some time I am reminded of one of these insipid posters: <em>You don't have to be crazy to work here - but it helps!</em> <br><br> I've learned that at DACAPO you can apply that phrase, but with some modifications. Firstly, the trailing phrase, "but it helps" is unecessary. Then we simply have to edit the first part to read: "You <strong>have</strong> to be crazy..." <br><br> Case in point... <br><br> After purchasing and moving into our new building we got straight to work on renovations. Most of this consisted of paint and some new lighting fixtures. The big project was a new "mixing studio". <br><br> To make the exisiting room more acoustically friendly, we wanted to slope the walls away from where the workstation would eventualy be. This meant installing a false wall and a false ceiling. <br><br> Contractors being who they are, the wood frame for the false wall and false ceiling were installed in quick order, but sat there uncompleted and uncovered for several weeks. <br><br> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLyE7B7Yy3I/AAAAAAAAABw/ykLPF1sLoNg/s1600-h/Mixing-Studio.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241210216017087346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLyE7B7Yy3I/AAAAAAAAABw/ykLPF1sLoNg/s320/Mixing-Studio.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241189343808340850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLxx8G5CQ3I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/9NQhlZsLgKU/s320/DSC02028+-+edit.jpg" border="0" /> Clint and I were standing around in the room looking at the size of the new window sill, when he remarked how it would make a nice sunny resting spot for a "mixing cat". My eyes wandered to the right and noticed how much room was left in the corner by the new false wall. Room enough for a... <br><br> That's when the joking started. I joked to Clint that we should have a corpse in the wall. "Why don't we get a stuffed animal and hang it from a noose." Paul, our commercial audio engineer, added, "...with a suicide note pinned to it." Nolan, our voice director, chipped in, "When they put up the drywall, we should put scratch marks on the inside." We all had a good chuckle. <br><br> An hour later, when I returned to my office, Clint had a mid-sized stuffed dog waiting on my desk. He found it in the basement of the old building - so we had our vicitm. <br><br> A day or two later, I started prepping the dog for it's entombment. I painted "X"s over it's eyes, hogtied it's arms and legs, and put a gag in it's mouth. Then it hit me... the stuffed dog victim was cute, but one of those paper skeletons with the dangling arms that you put on your door at haloween would be even funnier. <br><br> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241192787700524018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx1EkY6o_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/oI3h2TZVOHM/s320/25_5477.jpg" border="0" /> So I headed off to Toad Hall Toys to try and find one. I found a 12" tall plastic skeleton or a box of three or four 3" tall ones. I thought the 'mass grave' of the small ones would be kind of funny, but asked if they had any of the Halloween skeletons in storage in the stockroom. One staff member asked if I was talking about the "paper skeleton in the book". So I took a stroll back to the Anatomy Aisle and found the perfect victim. <br><br> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241198662091722338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx6agM6zmI/AAAAAAAAAAo/Yqx9vDabXwc/s320/Untitled-1.jpg" border="0" /> It took a weeks worth of evenings to put together - approx. 24 hours of cutting, trimming, scoring, folding, and gluing. Plus a whole s*#!load of podcasts on my iPod. <br><br> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241199769778249234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx7a-p93hI/AAAAAAAAAAw/LcRtsa5lbH0/s320/DSC02021.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241200007429152290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx7oz-W3iI/AAAAAAAAAA4/OuyFBS_lLIo/s320/DSC02018.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241200415281401890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx8AjV6UCI/AAAAAAAAABA/6LBM_uqm5kg/s320/DSC02020.JPG" border="0" /> After a few disasters (one clumsy contractor broke the skeleton in four places and I had to perform some serious reconstructive surgery) "Louie" was officialy interred in the mixing room at 520 Hargrave. <br><br> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLyA2Man5kI/AAAAAAAAABg/6l9Pk1v8tSg/s1600-h/DSC02039.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241205734886598210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLyA2Man5kI/AAAAAAAAABg/6l9Pk1v8tSg/s320/DSC02039.JPG" border="0" /></a> With an appropriate message... <br><br> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx9zzDnvOI/AAAAAAAAABY/QXYyfJqcySY/s1600-h/DSC02038.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241202395184610530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx9zzDnvOI/AAAAAAAAABY/QXYyfJqcySY/s320/DSC02038.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx9ci1uM6I/AAAAAAAAABQ/dh9dCHyt3pg/s1600-h/DSC_6640.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241201995694355362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLx9ci1uM6I/AAAAAAAAABQ/dh9dCHyt3pg/s320/DSC_6640.jpg" border="0" /></a> After a few weeks the drywaller came in and sealed up Louie for good. <br><br> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLyBq1rU27I/AAAAAAAAABo/ZLDkKzY0a2E/s1600-h/DSC02065.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241206639315704754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GfkpXXuVk-o/SLyBq1rU27I/AAAAAAAAABo/ZLDkKzY0a2E/s320/DSC02065.JPG" border="0" /></a> Now, while I was putting Louie together, I took over the boardroom table in the new building at about 5:00 every evening. Several staff members came in and out of the building while I was putting the skeleton together, so lots of staff members were in on the joke. <br><br> Several times, Clint would pass by my workspace and chuckle. Making comments from time to time, most dealing with my sanity. Now remember what I said about "being crazy to work here"? Well, at any other job very quickly there would have been laughs at my effort then several rounds of "Jayson... now I think it's funny and I do have a sense of humour, <strong>but</strong>..." or "Ummm, Jayson, about this little <strong>project</strong> of yours..." <br><br> My final comment when Clint was mocking my state of mental health: "OK, I <strong>am</strong> 100% mentally disturbed to build a skeleton and bury it in a wall, but at no point over the weeks did you ever stop me, so that makes you 75% as distrubed as I am." <br><br> You <strong>do</strong> have to be crazy to work here... <br><br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-3590675538988894827?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jayson Kowalnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24798050.post-67959538960472099512008-08-12T14:29:00.000-07:002008-08-12T14:37:00.733-07:00We had a blast doing our 'Holiday (pc) Cards' last year.

Back in Winnipeg. Who'd a thunk it! Stranger still is the fact that I'm here working at daCapo. Sitting at a computer all day writing music and hanging out with some really great human beings is a far cry from having your head in a toilet and asking customers what shade of beige they want they're bathroom walls to be. It's a little surreal to say the least.  I mean after all, not three months ago I was living in the land of milk and money.  That's right ... the center of the universe... Calgary, Alberta... YA-HOO! (The correct term is "Ya-Hoo" not "Yee-Haw". "Yee-Haw" is the American version of that expression. (This I learned during my years in Calgary.) <div> </div><div>When I left Winnipeg 14 years ago I thought I'd never come back (except to visit a few friends and family). But here I am freezing my big western ass in this white frozen prairie province. Don't get me wrong I am happy to be here, but this winter thing is well... unsettling to say the least. I was thinking someone should make one of those little snow globes of Winnipeg for tourists. You know the kind I mean ... you shake them and the snow flurries around and when it settles you see this cute little scene representing the place you're at. Mine would be filled with snow and when it settles you see a thermometer stuck at -40 degrees. I can't  wait to get my official tourist T-shirt... Winnipeg "Home Of The Wind Chill".  BBBRRRR!<div>I do however look forward to the summer. Ah... all that warm air, great lakes, fishing, lying on the sand at Grand Beach. There's a real "buzz" about Manitoba in the summer. Oh right, I forgot about the mosquitoes. Hmmm, maybe someone should make a little shaky snow globe and fill it with mosquitoes instead of snow for the summer tourists.  </div><div> </div><div>So why does a construction contractor from Calgary pack it in and move back to the land of  his birth?  Simply, it was time for a change, and what a change it has been for me.  I had been running my own little bathroom renovation company for a lot of years and enjoyed touring and giging with a little group called "The Rodeo Riders" in Alberta and performing my children's show (which has been something I've been doing since 1986).  But when Olaf and Clint asked me to join daCapo I had to say yes.</div><div> </div><div>Being part of a creative team is a dream that I had for many years, and now thanks to Olaf and Clint it's becoming a reality for me. I am enjoying the new things, the people and experiences here at daCapo. Like... the "album of the week" is a fun thing. I liken it to eating out a different restaurant every week. You may not like the food but at least you tried it. And like some food that your mother would make you eat as a child I am currently gaging on this weeks special and can't wait to dump it off of my ipod.<div>So here I am, and there you are.</div><div>And now you know...Dick.

We have recently signed a really exciting contract with 'Strika Entertainment' based in Cape Town, South Africa to provide all the audio production for the new animated series <a href="http://www.supastrikas.com" target="_blank">Supa Strikas</a>. <br><br> I had the chance to pop down to Cape Town at the end of April to visit with Oliver and Bruce and to finalize the production schedule (photos to follow.. they were taken on a (gasp) FILM CAMERA!). <br><br> To accomodate the Supa Strika (13 X 22 Episodes, with some animation being done by our good friends at <a href="http://www.fatkat.com" target="_blank">FatKat Animation</a>), we are building three new sound rooms... <br><br> This used to be our Foosball room... <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IFJpZm_s7qc/RmA4OBt5rlI/AAAAAAAAAD0/hfj49NzfTfY/s1600-h/FOOSBALL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IFJpZm_s7qc/RmA4OBt5rlI/AAAAAAAAAD0/hfj49NzfTfY/s400/FOOSBALL.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071114994049461842" /></a> <br><br> ... but it is now 'en-route' to becoming an audio editing suite. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IFJpZm_s7qc/RmA4ORt5rmI/AAAAAAAAAD8/7h2d_Qyg3dQ/s1600-h/NewFoosball.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IFJpZm_s7qc/RmA4ORt5rmI/AAAAAAAAAD8/7h2d_Qyg3dQ/s400/NewFoosball.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071114998344429154" /></a> <br><br> I have also, unfortunately, lost my office as our building is suddenly too small for our requirements.

If we didn't have access to a wide variety of skilled and unique voices, we could not do the work that we do!

Nolan discovered a natural aptitude for Golf. Kevin discovered a natural aptitude for beer. I discovered that I was very bitter and jealous of Nolan's natural aptitude for Golf. Annalee discovered that Golf could be very cold, and Olaf discovered that cold golf could be remedied with application of whiskey.

AND THEY ARE PAYING US YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!(except of course if you are part of the majority of the people in the world, and you do NOT LIVE IN CANADA. If this is the case, on this issue at least, you are quite fortunate!). <br><br> Through some fluke e-mailing, some CBC producers got their mitts on some stuff we did for fun at the studio when there were no REAL jobs to do. Evidently they liked it, cause' they said, 'hey, let's give you money to do this regularly!' <br><br> We now have had the distinction of having had our segments played across the nation, including Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Sydney, Moncton, Windsor, Cornerbrooke, Regina, Whitehorse, St. John's, Halifax, and Calgary. <br><br> If you want to hear any of these lovelies yourself (and DIDN'T hear them live on the radio!) have a look below! <br><br> <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/SayItWithCash.mp3" target="_blank">Say It With Cash</a><br> <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/AfricanSponsorship.mp3" target="_blank">Child Sponsorship</a><br> <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/DietPatch.mp3" target="_blank">The Diet Patch</a><br> <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/RealityTour.mp3" target="_blank">Reality Tour, 2007</a> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-1145563-3"; urchinTracker(); </script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-116837386404397561?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174443128962962814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24798050.post-1162243114673493752006-10-30T12:29:00.000-08:002006-10-30T13:23:14.136-08:00We have an exercise here that we do every week where one person picks an album that they have not heard, purchases it, and makes every other daCapoite listen to it. We then have a group review of the album and express our deepest feelings about it to everyone.<br><br> This has been going on for about a year now, so I have compiled daCapo’s list of the best and the worst of ‘Albums Of the Week’ for 2005/06. Here they are, by staff member along with any comments they passed on to me. All of these discs are available for purchase from Apple’s iTunes, if you are interested.

We've been lucky to have a large number of original music projects crop up (more about these later when they are close to being wrapped), and our good friends at FatKat have got us auditioning everyone for their animations, including this dog who showed up and wanted to read the part of a shark in 'My Adventures With Cloe' (nobody had the heart to tell him the microphone does not care WHAT you are wearing). <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/1600/sharkdog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/400/sharkdog.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> While I was looking through some archived projects for some old voice demos, I came across a radio play that I wrote and recorded with Nolan, Olaf and Ben Reynolds (formerly of the band Sweetsalt) in the style of 'The Lone Ranger'.

Last week, Norm from Nelvana contacted me to let us know that our production was among the finalists for the series theme. Hurrah! Unfortunately, the focus testing in the target market (young girls/female teenagers) identified another submission that worked better with that demographic... stupid *%##! focus groups! Anyhow, I still am proud of the work that Olaf and Kevin did on this music, and thought at least I can post it on the blog so's it can be enjoyed a bit before being relegated to the damp and dusty recesses of our basement archives...

However, since we acquired a couple of web-cams, I seem to be seeing more of him when he is away than when he was here, as evidenced by this photo of him and his family (that's his dad Klaus and mother Heidi... how perfect is THAT) having an internet Pilsner with Annalee and Nolan a few afternoons back (yes, I know, we work REALLY hard here!). <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/1600/cheers.0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/400/cheers.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Anyhow, because he is away, I am taking advantage of the situation to make fun of him a bit. Not that it is not deserved, and not that I don't do it to myself in equal measure! (see the Mister Rabbit post for any evidence that you might require). <br><br> Last fall, we wrote and recorded a Caillou musical with KOBA Family Entertainment, licensed from Cookiejar Entertainment. While we were in the midst of working on some of the songs, I asked Olaf to do some scratch vocals of Julie the babysitter and Caillou (a duet... he did both voices). Of course, being the sadistic bastard that I am I kept the rough files over the last 8 months waiting for the perfect chance to make Olaf's vocal acrobatics public....

One of the more fun projects we had was three days in the studio with children’s' entertainer extraordinaire <span style="font-weight:bold;">Mr. Fred Penner</span> recording some fun new songs for <a href="www.barefootbooks.com">Barefoot Books</a>. <br><br>We had the pleasure of being visited by Barefoot's own Jo Collins who jetted in from Jolly Olde England just to hang with us for the week! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/1600/FredEats.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/400/FredEats.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Fred shows Jo how to dig into lunch... an important studio skill! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/1600/JoEats.1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/400/JoEats.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Jo looks tentatively at Fred's enthusiastic gastric performance...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-114651449041791814?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174443128962962814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24798050.post-1145398284367900072006-04-18T14:56:00.000-07:002006-04-18T15:29:35.853-07:00<p>I have nothing fundamentally against ACTRA. The union works to ensure performing talent get paid a fair wage for commercial work - nothin' wrong with that. However, if I were to say ACTRA was complicated from a producer's point of view I would REALLY be understating things. Brain surgery is complicated. Successfully landing a Mars probe is complicated. The ACTRA Commercial Agreement is really REALLY complicated. Take this little doozie of a paragraph for example... <p><span style="font-style:italic;"> Single Voice is a performance category applicable to Performers engaged in radio commercials, including an actor engaged to execute or interpret a role in a dramatic form of presentation when one or two actors are engaged in a commercial. When one or two Actors and an Announcer are engaged in the same commercial, they shall be categorized as Single Voice.</span> <p>If you can make sense of that in less than a unionized work week, you are a better person than I am, and I'm guessing a 'wonderful' career awaits you in complicated verbiage construction. Congratulations! <p>Anyhow, the other thing that strikes me about the tone of the ACTRA collective agreement is the very RELIGIOUS bent of the prose they employ. With this in mind, Nolan and I wasted some time in the studio, putting together an excerpt from an <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/ActraService.mp3">ACTRA Church Service...</a> <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/ActraService.mp3"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/400/choir.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-114539828436790007?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174443128962962814noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24798050.post-1144795139606809712006-04-11T15:22:00.000-07:002006-04-11T15:40:07.596-07:00There are certain things that people were never meant to see. Like your diary. Or that skanky dream you have at 3 AM when you drop into REM sleep, or a Protools session you made by yourself when you were overtired AT 3 am...<br><br> A couple of turns of the earth ago, we were asked by the <a href="http://www.northwest.ca">North West Company</a> to put together a stupid radio spot for their board to listen to at an upcoming marketing meeting to give them an idea of goofy new directions they could take their radio spots in. We were pretty busy at the time, and I was spending the night at the studio finishing up some projects when, lo and behold, inspiration hit me at about 3 AM... I had the perfect Easter spot for the North West Company (or so I thought)! Before I forgot (or wised up!) I set up a microphone, set a ProTools session a running, walked into the voice booth and recorded all the parts for the spot myself. <br><br> The next morning, before I could come to my senses enough to realize the travesty I had created, Olaf found the recording session and laughed so hard he pissed himself. He then made a little playback featuring the highlights of my performance. In self-deprecating good humour I have posted it <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/MisterRabbit.mp3">HERE</a>. And yes, those footsteps you hear ARE me walking in and out of the voice booth in between takes... <a href="http://www.dacapo.ca/blog/MisterRabbit.mp3"> <img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8008/2578/400/MrRabbit.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-114479513960680971?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174443128962962814noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24798050.post-1144676515101982192006-04-10T06:24:00.000-07:002006-04-10T06:41:56.110-07:00Audra (from <a href="http://www.taylorgeorge.com/">Taylor George Design</a>...they are great! they designed our logo for us,) and her partner George dropped by over the weekend to say 'hello' to the daCapo gang.

Believe you me, when you are staring at these ugly toe covers first thing in the morning, before you even had the reassuring hit of coffee your body craves, it can make you violently ill. I could probably post a series of photos of these socks, but for now I'll content myself with today's aesthetic travesty...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-114373645002343482?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174443128962962814noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24798050.post-1143517532096237362006-03-27T19:41:00.000-08:002006-03-28T14:15:46.323-08:00On a sad note, one of my cats, Gigalo, recently passed on.

We create original music and sound for television, advertising, internet and multi-media. Our web site at www.dacapo.ca is good, but there's lots of crazy, creative, fun and silly stuff that goes on here that does not really fit in the corporate look of our website... hence this blog! As this blog develops, you'll find samples of some of the less serious audio we create, photos of daCapo events, and amusing anecdotes from our day-to-day operations.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24798050-114350028649455811?l=dacapoproductions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174443128962962814noreply@blogger.com0
