In one sense this doesn’t have anything to do with audio – in fact there’s no sound whatsoever. But this week our neighbor’s front yard was graced with a beauty that spoke much louder than words. Multiple day lillies were in full bloom and I had to take some time to “smell the roses” so to speak and capture their stunning pronouncements. The beautiful Creator reminds us of His ongoing presence.

During the past couple of month’s I’ve been posting short pieces concerning three music projects in various stages at Tesco Productions.
One For All Musical Theater continues a steady pace of adding guitar work, bass and a little mandolin to a rather lengthy list of original songs for their next musical. We’re down to just two more songs for that musician and have numerous vocal sessions on the calendar for July in addition to a couple already completed. It’s coming together consistently and will be a big presentation in every aspect.
The Kopsa family has been in a few times continuing their mixes and reworking one song. This collection showcasing their family “groups” during the years is targeting a mid-July completion.
The Stangl family recording seems to get the shorter end of my schedule right now, but hopefully they’ll have their initial runoff soon so everyone can listen through the recorded songs and we can begin the fine tuning and mix processes. I’m appreciating everyone’s patience.

The pace has been fast and consistent laying down parts and incorporating orchestration for the next production of One For All Musical Theater. What was initially reported as an 18 song project has now expanded to 23, covering a wide range of musical styles and expression. Keith Wilson has laid down a number of acoustic and bass parts, and in addition Tim Tyler has provided many hours of production skills for orchestration and percussion. Nick Swoboda will be in next week for another drum session, and there’s been two vocal recordings so far. It’s a very big project, and it’s good to hear the songs come together to support and tell the story of their next musical.
