Sound Scapes

I have always loved the early radio serial drama’s such as The Shadow or anything produced by Orson Wells’ radio troupe. I’ve also enjoyed the dramatic audio adaptations of Lovecraft’s stories–one of my favorites being Pickman’s Model. So as I began thinking through how to package and present the stories I’ve been writing, I quickly gravitated toward this early 20th century form of story telling.

I’m not an audio engineer (although I’m learning fast). I also don’t have access to a deep bench of voice actors. Still, I’ve been able to get something close to what I’ve imagined by pulling audio from www.freesound.org. The most recent story, the Arabian Campaign, would not have been possible without the sounds provided. I rarely donate to random sites on the internet, but I threw $10 at Free Sound because it is such an incredible resource.
