NEW YORK, NY — Following the success of the Emmy-winning series “Intervention,” A&E has created The Recovery Project, a multimedia and community based outreach program designed to raise awareness about addiction and how it is treatable and recovery is possible. A key component to the project are two moving TV spots featuring a powerful, anthemic score composed by Alex Lasarenko, Creative Director of music/sound design house Tonal.

”The goal of the spots is to show people who are suffering from alcohol and drug addiction that they are not alone, even though they may feel alone,” Lasarenko says. ”Musically they wanted something that would symbolize that — something that began very starkly with one instrument, but slowly builds into a larger sounding piece.”

In the spots, entitled ”Share” (:60) and ”Lifetime” (:30) we see vignettes of recovering addicts going through their more

Los Angeles, CA – November 2009… Location sound work always presents unique challenges, but for the crew tasked with capturing the sights and sounds of many of our planet’s most beautiful—and remote—fishing destinations, the job becomes even more demanding. Such is the case for George Clark, Executive Producer of HOOKED on the Fly, a new sport fishing program that will air on the Sportsman Channel come December 29^th. The show’s production crew routinely encounters extreme weather conditions that pose serious threats to their electronic equipment, but when it comes to capturing audio, their wireless microphone systems from Lectrosonics deliver in a big way.

Clark, who initially started his career as a Ph.D. biological scientist and went on to work at many of the world’s most revered research institutes such as the Smithsonian Institution, received his MFA in film from more

Tube Condenser Mic Uses New Diaphragm Membrane Material

Pictured is the new TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustic ELA M 251T large diaphragm microphone system with stand-mount cable connector, ruggedly-built power supply, wooden microphone box, and classic leather bound locking tweed flight case.

TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik of South Windsor, CT, introduced at AES 2009 the new ELA M 251T. The microphone features the new TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik CK-13 capsule. While based on the classic ELA M 251 models, the ELA M 251T adds a very modern twist.

Traditionally gold has been sputtered onto Mylar(tm) for the diaphragms of the historic CK-12 capsule. By employing Alloy 2213, which more

DALLAS, TX — The premiere of “Amanpour” on CNN represents a pivotal new chapter in the career of the news network’s chief international correspondent, Christiane Amanpour. A live global interview program that hosts the world’s elite in politics, culture and beyond, the show makes its presence known with a gripping custom theme from Stephen Arnold Music.

Stephen Arnold Music matched the larger-than-life profile of Amanpour with a strong set of themes – five in all – that reflected her status as one of the top journalists in the field. Written to reach an international audience, the music’s foundation draws off of a signature four-note sonic logo, unfolding via a stirring arrangement of live orchestral strings, horns, and percussion, combined subtly with advanced electronic elements.

”Christiane Amanpour is among the most recognizable talents in the CNN family worldwide,” says more

Hartley Peavey’s mission to restore the sound of the historic Hamasa Shrine Temple Theater in his hometown of Meridian, Miss., is more than just a professional challenge. It’s personal.

Joseph Lane Peavey, the Peavey Electronics Corporation founder and CEO’s grandfather, was very active in the Hamasa Shriners—his name is even engraved on the Moorish Revival theater’s cornerstone. Like Hartley, J.L. Peavey was an entrepreneur and an inventor with many patents to his credit. Hartley inherited his collection of hand tools when he passed in 1955, and two years later used those tools to build the first Peavey amplifier.
