About Our Name:

The term ‘KoPoint’ is derived from the game of GO, the ancient Chinese board-game. Specifically, ‘KoPoint’ refers the Rule of Ko and the translation of strategic and tactical in-game lessons to extra-game life application.

About Our Studio:

KoPoint records in a warm little room located near the top of a red-brick building on an unassuming block south of Houston Street in Manhattan. We sit around a large wood table and talk in to Rode microphones. We run our voices through an Arrakis radio console. Our sound is mildly processed by a DBX compressor/limiter, a Behringer sub-mixer, and an M-Audio interface. All of this is mixed down on a Mac tower running Adobe Soundbooth and Audition. Learn more about the history of the KoPoint Studio.

About Our Logo:

The KoPoint logos – the Logo and Title images – were created by Josh Wolff with guidance by Dan Patterson.

About Our Music:

KoPoint music is, for the most part, provided by the talented Matthew Ebel. A stalwart of the Boston and New England technology scene, Matthew has been creating exciting music for over a decade. He has succeeded in fostering a loyal audience by using social media and embracing innovative business models. KoPoint is very happy and proud to work with such a notable musician and stand-up guy. In addition to Matthew, the KoPoint Comic Book Show features the song “Pray For Me Pray” New York’s JahFurry. From time to time our programs use stock music provided by a license from SumAll.

About Our Website and Content Management System:

KoPoint.com was primarily assembled by Dan Patterson. The website is currently hosted on WordPress.com. Over the years the KoPoint team has worked with a number of CMS solutions and news publishing websites. We like and continue to use these platforms for various projects (the KoPoint Wire uses Tumblr, for example). WordPress.com – and it’s cousin WordPress.org – are powerful, vetted, and easy to use. WordPress.com offers a few features – namely publishing features, media hosting, and security – at an affordable rate.
