<p>In the wilderness, one lonely soul decides to make another. (30 mins).</p><p>This is my first experiment with what I call<strong> audio fiction upgraded</strong>: narrated stories enhanced with a composed musical score and sound design. </p><p>I find it pretty effective experience. This format will be the primary way I share my next stories—which I’ll add to this podcast feed. Most of them will be experiments in horror that I promise will scare you shitless… as I work towards Grimoire, which I’m developing as a longform, novel-length version of this audio concept. </p><p>Thoughts, ideas, feedback on the story, mix, music? </p><p>Leave them in the comments.</p><p><strong>Maker</strong>. Writing, narration, score, sound recordings and design by Cosmo Wallace, 2022.</p><p>Musical score encorporates the excellent Spitfire Audio VSTs <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/contemporary-drama-toolkit/">Contemporary Drama Kit</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/albion-tundra/">Albion Tundra</a>.</p><p>Sound Recorded on my Tascam DR-40X around Northern Denmark: crows and birdsong near Humlebæk Railway Station, wind and forest sounds in Nivå Harbour and Krogerup Forest. Narration recorded on a Blue Microphones Yeti.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
