We are delighted to report that our launch for our new audio booth and video suite went down very well with all who attended. All things being equal, everybody seems to have had a great time, fuelled with lots of Tiger Beer and Kopparberg Cider supplied by the good people at Richmond Marketing.
Music on the night was provided with DJ sets from Steve Whiteside and Alex Meehan, who cut some choice mixes to visuals we projected onto our White Cyche Wall.
That’s Camille & Debbie on the left, Camille recorded some cracking tunes, written by Philly Campbell, with us last year.
Some special mention should be made to Fiona & Aidan of Nostromo Restaurant, who did a great (and timely!!) job of catering to the masses, and the soakage provided probably helped prevent things getting out of hand too early!!
Those of you who have ventured out to deStudio facilities will of course recognise Ian Murphy, below left, and Catherine and Ivan. Catherine is shown below demoing Tiger and Kopparberg with Jonathan’s wonderful girlfriend, Rachel. (Purely for Marketing reasons).
Ian is there on the left, he had much success fundraising on the night for (allegedly) worthy causes, and Ivan is on the right, reverse engineering the Tiger brewing process.
Hats off to you both, boys. Ivan is also pictured in our wonderful new Audio booth, but we forgot to get more of that in the pics, so we’ll come back to it again.
That’s him on the right, and Camille’s buddy (and seeming manager…) Roxy to the left.
Kyle, we respect your party ethic and stamina, and Salute You. Kyle totally rocks in our book.
All that I can say to sum up is that I really enjoyed myself, and that’s all that matters…
No really, big up to all who made it, and we’ve decided it was so much fun we’re going to do more of it again. Maybe not on a Wednesday. Watch this space…

Army of Id are pleased to announce the addition of audio post production
to their extensive facilities.
This new department will be headed by Jonathan Darby,
formally a post mixer at Slate Post Production.
The Pro Tools suite will be available to cater for all types of audio post
at very competitive rates, with high quality mics and preamps for voiceover work.We are in the process of building a recording booth at the moment, and when it is completed we will post back on how it looks!
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on a camping trip. After setting up their tent, they fall asleep. Hours later, Holmes suddenly wakes his faithful companion.
“Watson, look up at the sky. Tell me what do you see.”
Watson answers, “I see millions of stars.”
“And what does that tell you?” asks Holmes.
Watson considers the question momentarily and replies, “Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. By the clock, it is approximately a quarter past two. Theologically, it’s evident that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. From a meteorologic standpoint, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?”
Silent for a moment, Holmes soon replies. “Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.”
That’s right folks, thumbs up for no inappropriate content.
Ah the joys of embedded video.
I’m a little vexed that none of our work has been deemed inappropriate.
I’ll have to push the boat out even further.
