With the blasts of Artic air hopefully behind us, many turn their thoughts to getting out of hibernation and relishing part of America’s pastime – baseball. And with that tradition comes another – the opening with our national anthem. The Essen family came in this past week to record their audition in hopes of being chosen for a personal listen, and a chance at singing for a College World Series game. This year dad and son were joined by a daughter (& sister) to round out their sound as a trio. A few years back father and son submitted a duet recorded at Tesco Productions, and it was a nice addition to have all three. As always, it’s some work but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as mom cheered and critiqued. Wishing you the best to be chosen!

Grupo David came to Tesco Productions recently and in two sessions recorded twelve songs.  The four piece group traveled from Dennison, IA to lay down their instrument and vocal tracks.  Two members of the group it turns out have been here twice in the past when they were part of another group from the same town.  This time they are singing music from their church and in fact performed at a church event in Omaha during the course of working on this project.  Two mix sessions (complete with pizza delivery) rounded out their time here and then I’ve put the final work into tidying up the mixes and putting the songs through the mastering process.  We all hope and pray that the music will encourage and inspire listeners in their faith journey – both in their home town and through the concerts and events they are part of. You can see more pictures of their grabando in our photo gallery. “Gracias”.

Reborn has been several months in the making and is now officially out. This extensive recording is not only unusual due to its blend of multiple languages, but also its inclusion of the soundtracks for live performance. Six originals and one remake comprise the song lineup and it’s a varied listen. Anabel is accompanied by various groupings of background and solo artists who came along side this project and helped culminate her dream to use music in Christian ministry and outreach. Tim Tyler provided very fine sound track arrangements, and should you choose to perform live with the included instrumental cuts, you won’t be disappointed. Anabel’s website and facebook page list where five of the vocal songs are available including iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and more. Her site also includes a personal bio, song lyrics, concert information and links to purchase her music. Job well done, and may your music and life’s ministry be a continued blessing to others.
