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.
Förkväll, a popular Swedish talkshow that previously aired 2006-2007 live from Stockholm’s central station, has been brought back to life by TV4 and Titan Television. Kari will be working as Assisting Audio Engineer with Karl-Johan “Ludde” Lundin, who worked on the previous season of the show and has a long list of credits including shows like “Expedition Robinson” and “Paradise Hotel”. 158 episodes have been planned until the 10th of June 2010 and Förkväll might continue in the fall of 2010, but that is still uncertain. 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

Carefree Big Band played and recorded a Live DVD at their gig at Pampas Marina in Stockholm. Kari was on location recording (live mixing) the band with 4 cameras straight to DVD with a 16-channel Yamaha DM-1000 mixer. The mix is done completely in headphones (BeyerDynamic DT 770), since the “control room” was situated upstairs from the party/gig in an office space with the sound multicore cable running out of the office windows downstairs. Everyone were surprised by the result that exceeded the band member’s expectations.
