- GILLIAN MORANZ, Artistic Director, South Country Fair
Flip Flop Audio was founded based on the belief that live audio should be operated by sound engineers who occasionally load trucks, and not by truck loaders who occasionally do sound. Boasting 60+ years of both live and studio sound experience, owner/operators Scott Franchuk (Riverdale Recorders) and Steve Loree (Crabapple Downs) bring theirdistinctive perspective into live event production. Flip Flop exclusively operates one event at a time. This way Flip Flop is able to custom tailor their services to the requirements of each event and guarantee a consistent quality of sound. Scott and Steve work with integrity to serve and support not only the event coordinators, but the artists that come to perform. Flip Flop is operated under the idea that if the artists are happy, everyone is happy. Years of experience working closely with artists in both live and studio settings is what sets this production company apart. Scott and Steve know that producing the best quality audio is not simply a matter of being technically proficient, it is also essential to be able to read and anticipate the wants and needs of the people behind the performance. Scott and Steve have honed the unique ability to harness the emotional, vulnerable, human side of the arts, and in doing so, they elevate the artists they work with to a whole new level. This philosophy, paired with an almost unparalleled depth of knowledge and the singular event focus, ensures that every production goes off without a hitch. Flip Flop Audio is professional, collaborative, friendly, and actually cares about sound.
