Today Kari Heino started to work on the biggest assignment in their Audio Engineering career so far. The last few weeks Kari has been responsible for the planning, setting up and installation of the sound part of the Förkväll TV-studio, which is being built in the newly refurbished Sky Bar on the top floor of Radisson SAS Hotel, looking over central Stockholm with it’s tinted panorama windows.

The program is airing every Monday-Friday 17:00-18:30 and every day has it’s own theme:
Monday: Fashion and total make-over
Tuesday: Interior design and economy
Wednesday: Fitness and health
Thursday: Live speed-dating or animals/pets
Friday: Celebrities and Sing Star competition

Kristallen 2009, the official Swedish television awards, took place in Annexet (the Ericsson Globe) in Stockholm the 28th of August.
During the event Kari Heino worked as Audio Assistant together with well known Audio Engineer Erik Olhester, being in charge of the preparation, Pro Tools editing and playback of all the music elements for the gala including singback tracks for the performing artists.
Another successful event broadcasted live for SVT from Mediatec’s Surround Sound Truck 1.
Day of Hope (formerly known as Outreach) have been recording and producing their coming EP at Upright Sounds with Kari Heino since January.
Although everything started as a no-budget recording project with very low ambitions to quickly make an ok sounding pr-demo for festivals and gigs, things started bit by bit to sound pretty good. Instead of programmed drums, real drums were recorded in pretty bad conditions in a conference room in the basement of a church. And due to missing condenser mics at the church, an old pair of Shure SM58s in XY-formation had to do as overhead mics for the drums. The remaining tracks were recorded at Upright Sounds with SM57/58s. Check out the photos in the Media section.
Klimataktion – The national movement for the climate.
In the present crucial times we’re becoming more and more aware of the current environmental issues about global warming and it’s effects on our planet and our lives. Many are convinced that if we don’t act and change today, the outcome will be catastrophic. But it’s not too late yet if we start making changes today! To raise the awareness in Stockholm, Klimataktion.se in co-operation with Opera Reflex are arranging a festival, Saturday Night EARTH Fever, at 2 PM on February 28’th at Teater Replica with artists, bands, politicians and celebrities forming a good blend between culture and weighty information.
Upright Sounds / Kari Heino will be responsible for engineering the three stages and mixing the sound on the main stage. Kari will be assisted by three students from the School of Audio Engineering in Stockholm, where Kari also studied for the Audio Engineering Diploma 2005-2006.
