Really enjoyed the making of episode which is slightly ironic considering I work for TMAH but I loved how passionate you are about your work. Awesome episode Rick. :D Now onto the shaggy man.

Chapter 21 is out, it was the most challenging background score I have ever done.  The scene with Sarah underwater had 15 tracks just for the sounds!

Check it out:

Downloaded but not yet listened to - still have 20 to go as well.

I did listen to the 'Making of' yesterday and was quite impressed by the amount of detail etc that goes into all of this.

I guess I knew a lot of it in theory but it still makes a difference when you hear it being run through in practice.

Some of it was completely new though. For instance I'd never really thought through the issues of synchronising words and music i.e. having to write the music to go with the words. I'd always assumed it was a 'write a track and then talk over it' type of exercise. That's no mean feat on it's own but having to actually write around the cadence of the words etc takes the level of skill required to a whole new scale!

I am now even more in awe of the amount of work that goes into these.

It is a lot of work.  I am very happy with the latest episodes musicwise.  It is such a challenge, but if the music can enhance the story I have achieved success!  :)  Thanks Mike.

Yep wow is right.  I think that the sound of the podcast is evolving alongside the story and getting better all the time.  There is so much synergy in the words, music and sound of each piece.  Close your eyes and it just gets better. :)

I have to admit I'm constantly amazed by how brilliant this story is when you listen. Writing parts of it you kind of go into a focused zone and only concentrate on your words. Listening to the final product is just a brilliant experience. Stefans vision and writing is awesome and the magic and production that Rick produces is the icing on a very tasty cake.

This was very fun to do, a great story wrote by a young Australian writer called Sarah. I seriously hope we get to see more of her written work. :D

Awesome music and production from Mr Moyer, his usual high standards are evident here and great direction from Stefan. Let us know your thoughts peeps. :D

Vastly different to all that went before!

If I had to sum it up that's probably where I'd start. It also finished in a very unexpected place but later analysis proved that it worked. It does leave one expecting a sequel however.

Production was excellent although I must admit to listening to it in the car so some of the finer points were probably lost in the background. Sorry for being a bad listener ;)
