Commercial Audio

Feist Yellow Pages

What is the sound of a guy's head morphing into a basketball and then a TV? Working with the fine folks @ The Stables/CG Post and Bowen Creative, we put together the right voice, the right music & the right sound effects to get people excited about college basketball & their local Feist directory...cause "There's more in it for you ,Sport!"

Kansas Children's Service League

If the slow-mo, black & white images in this video about adoption weren't enough to touch your heart, when you add the music, sound effects and narration...well, you better reach for your hanky.

Envision

Seems like Television is not exactly the best medium to reach a target audience who is Blind or Low Vision, but hey, I wasn't going to say anything, especially when they were going to pay me to write some music and get creative with the sound design... All kidding aside, these are a series of fine TV spots.

Emprise Bank Open House

Confetti & noisemakers aren't very much fun if they don't actually make any...noise.

Emprise Bank - Unexpected Mail.

This spot features a single scene of a mail truck driving down the street delivering. you guessed it, mail. The audio track was simply the nat sound from the camera...but it wasn't that simple, thanks to the persistent wind that blows perpetually in Kansas and wreaked havoc with the videographers microphone.

So, a trip to the audio editor, some choice sound effects and some complicated audio magic, using some non-linear cross fades, The TC electronics 24/7 limiting amplifier, True Verb from Waves plug-in, a few 8 band parametric equalizers, some traffic noise, a few barking dogs, and a metal lunch box with a squeaky hinge, because that was the closest thing we had that sounded like a mailbox.... made the soundtrack sound...er, well, simple.

WSU Shocker Women's Basketball

These 2 overly competitive young girls, fighting for one of Grandma's homemade chocolate chip cookies...just wouldn't look right without a little bit of sound design work.

Schiffmans Jewelers

The "Stock" Production Music Library again couldn't produce what this elegant jewelry TV spot called for. So we released the composers & musicians out of their dungeon, deep in the recesses of what has affectionately been called "Moko South" and put them to work, scoring  a masterpiece worthy of the jewels displayed.

Kansas Cosmo Sphere & Space Center

During the time we were producing a CD for songwriter, Randy McCoy from Kansas City, we were also working on the sound for this TV spot for the KS Cosmosphere. The video producer heard some of the rough mixes from our session, and couldn't get the tune out of his head....so the necessary arrangements were made with the songwriter and a TV:30 version of the song was produced and became the soundtrack for this spot.

You can hear versions of the original song here >>

Dixon ZTR

Well the folks at Dixon wanted to point out that theirs was the original and the best "Zero-Turn-Radius" riding mower. So we went back  to the music that was popular around the time the very first Dixon cut it's first blade of grass. Moko Productions  provided a custom rendition of Ronny & the Daytona's "Little GTO"..... c'mon and turn it  on, turn around, mow it down ZTR waaa, waaa (Go Mow, Dixon Z-T-R) waa, waaa, waaa, waaa, waaa
