Episode 4 Notes

The original storyline involved a fight scene in the final vault between the bone thief and the protagonist, which was supposed to be song 4. When I was working on song 3, I realized that the bone thief had already won the conflict in the previous song.  The big necromantic fight music will have to wait for another time.

I’m not sure when this episode turned into a D&D module in my head, but that’s pretty much what happened.

Song titles for Episode 4:

  1. Silent as Thieves
  2. Hidden Caverns
  3. Bonecrafting

Oops…

I updated PodPress and broke the podcast.  Let’s see if I can fix it.

Edit: Right then, it should be working now.

Episode 2 Notes

Many years ago, I ran a BBS called Freestation Seshat to host games of VGA Planets for my friends.  The name is a reference to the Egyptian patron goddess of libraries, among other things.

Inspiration for this episode includes a pile of sci-fi soundtracks, particularly Christopher Franke‘s wonderful Babylon 5 music.

Song titles for Episode 2:

  1. Data Courier
  2. Port Seshat
  3. A Meeting of Peers
  4. Alarm Party

There is no April…

…only fool.  I thought I’d be able to get the next episode out this month.  I was mistaken.

Audio Wanderer will continue in May. Next stop: interstellar space.

Equipment

Here’s what I’m currently using to create the podcasts:

  • Cubase 4 running under Windows XP.
  • Halion and Spector soft synths (included with Cubase 4).
  • Fatar Studio 88 plus controller keyboard.
  • M-Audio Midisport 2×2 MIDI interface.
  • M-Audio Delta 66 sound card.
  • Behringer Eurorack UB1204FX-Pro mixer.
  • Audio Technica ATR30 and Nady SP-5 microphones in the basement studio.
  • Zoom H4n Handy Recorder for field recordings.

I plan on moving to a Mac system when I replace my current aging desktop PC, and I’ve got my eye on some better microphones.
