PORTFOLIO AND EXPERIENCE

A collection of projects we've had the pleasure of working on

 
 
We proudly present "Hookai", the first installment of our Warehouse Sessions, with guests Greg Kramer​ and Chris C D Littlefield​ killing it in the horn section. The environment makes for an unusually rich reverberant sound.
Dusty performed live in the KVSH studios on September 21st, 2017 ---------------------------- http://soundsdusty.bandcamp.com ---------------------------- http://thedrewandmarkshow.com http://voiceofvashon.org/the-drew-and... ----------------------------- Thanks to Ben Schauland for filming and editing, Mark Hokenson for his excellent secondary camera work, and Kainalu Sound for providing audio engineering, mixing, and mastering services.

Live In-Studio Performances

Kainalu Sound has the capability to provide efficient mobile audio engineering services, as well as both live and post-production mixing and mastering services for small broadcasters who desire to expose their audience to the music being made in their community in a more intimate manner. We provide a balanced, dynamic, and lucid sonic experience akin to what you may hear on larger non-commercial or commercial radio stations, which prevents listeners from diving away from the dial during technical issues or a severely unbalanced mix. We also provide artists the tools they need to succeed in this unique environment. Through our work, we’ve also had the pleasure of mixing two live in-studio sessions at 90.3FM KEXP in Seattle, WA for the band High Pulp.

Outdoor Festivals

We are equipped to handle small outdoor festivals that require attentive, continuous, and punctual performance, all while maintaining superior quality and professionalism. We work hard to support the artists during set changes. Getting equipment off the stage is our focus, so the next band can start setting up as quickly as possible.
