Anabel Albuja has been in to Tesco Productions for a few times now recording her original gospel and praise songs. She was joined on her last visit by four friends who definitely brought multiple facets to her recordings. In one song four different languages are represented in the verses and everyone joined in English for the choruses. The vocal nuances from the various cultures and singing styles made for a unique blend. We doubled the five vocals to create a small women’s ensemble sound and it turned out very nice. Two English harmonies were also added to her first tune to emphasize key words and phrases.
Tim Tyler has been called on to provide the musical arrangement and tracks. I know Anabel has loved hearing her songs come to life and the mix of vocals is a great reminder that God has chosen people from every tribe and nation to praise Him.

This past week the Omaha CenturyLink Center was buzzing with people from around the globe for the annual Home Instead Senior Care convention.  Tesco Productions was again tapped to provide the live sound engineering for all the events in the primary CenturyLink Center ballroom.  From general sessions of education, news and focus, to celebrations of accomplishments and special care giver awards the ballroom was an ever-changing venue of activities.  Home Instead Senior Care provides assistance of varying levels to help keep seniors in their homes rather than being forced to move into a care facility.  Owners Paul and Lori Hogan began the Omaha-based company nineteen years ago and have overseen the company’s expansion around the world.

I’m always grateful to be called on to provide this audio service for the event company Sonburst Communication, to meet up with the extended tech crew, meet the Home Instead Senior Care home office personnel again and to be reminded of the role they play to this special group of people – our senior citizens.

Lyndsey Hrabik was in the studio recently to record “Fill A Heart” (by Tori Kelly) as a contest submission being conducted by the author.  The winner will designate a sizable donation from Tori to a food bank of his/her choice.  Lyndsey’s rendition of the song can be viewed on youtube.  Lyndsey was in the Tesco Productions studio a while back and recorded several other songs with keyboard as well.  Nice going Lyndsey and commendations on your effort to support meeting a great need in our community.
