Parent Pager

DP Creative Audio just wrapped up the music for a promotional video for Parent Pager, a hi-tech child/family check in system. It was "developed for managing the security of children while under the care of a ministry or care center. Parent Pager focuses on speeding families through the check in process and providing real-time communications and information to the staff and guardians while providing the tools to help manage the security of the children in the care center."

Omnisphere

We just purchased the newest soft synth from Spectrasonics, called Omnisphere, and can't wait to use it on new projects. In the company's words...

"This epic ‘Power Synth’ breaks completely new sonic ground by combining a wide variety of hybrid realtime synthesis techniques, an epic library of remarkable ‘Psychoacoustic’ sounds, and many innovative features that have never been seen before in any hardware or software synthesizer."

The sounds and capabilities of this new synth are astounding and I could easily spend all day just exploring it's sonic offerings. I'm sure it will get a lot of use!

Creative Crawl

This evening I took part in the Ad Club of West Michigan's "Creative Crawl". In their words, "Area ad agencies, design firms, photo and video production studios and other ACWM members meet, greet and treat area business and community leaders, students, clients and other interested publics to a taste of West Michigan's creative side." It was a lot of fun, and a great chance to meet industry people at all levels. I came away truly impressed with what a vibrant advertising community Grand Rapids is home to.

DP Creative Audio has just wrapped up production of four CD's of songs that support the curriculum offered by "Small Talk- World Language for Kids". Songs were recorded in English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin.

Small Talk is a unique parent/child experience based on the latest linguistic research and cognitive science.
