Work on the next episode of the Astral Audio experience is underway; a few changes are afoot. Thanks to feedback from various sources, what is currently Episode II will be removed from the feed; this is in part because of GarageBand.com’s playlist feature. While in theory it works, I thought it would list each band and artist in the show notes automaticly. It didn’t. Plus, it took some of the creative control out of my hands, and personally, I like the power to work my magic. I will do the change when time allows.

What will happen? obsessed movie download I will rename what is Episode III to II, and I will also edit Episode I …. so each show states the episode number at the beginning. This will creat consistancy overall and give, you, the listeners less of a headache.

What is in the works? download best little whorehouse in texas the movie download death on the nile dvdrip I submitted two auditions for DarkerProjects.com and so that ate up quite a bit of my recording time. Needless to say, the episode will be running a bit late. Also, I have a promo to whip up so other podcasters can spread the word about the Astral Audio experience. Depending on how things go, that should be finished either today or tomorrow. Check here for the official post and link. I am working on a more involving intro for the Astral Audio experience; something that will rope you in from the get go. To help me in this endeavour, I am calling on podcasters to provide additional voices! This will be explained over im or via email; the more the merrier so step up to the mic!

Final thoughts: This is an ever changing project that aims to provide entertainment and enjoyment. Any comments, questions, complaints, and requests are more than welcome. Don’t be hesitant to send me an email divx meet wally sparks ; I am quite punctual in responding.

The other project is a promo and introduction for the podcast; something to grab the listener and urge them to keep listening. A small script has been written and so far, one email has been sent to Jon Specht

. I have a couple other people I will probably get feedback from before I make the final promo.

The (fictional) host of the Astral Audio Experience is the leader of a secret society who defends this realm from entities within it and from other realms. The headquarters being the Astral Realm. “Just thought to contain a person’s astral body when he or she astral projects, it has been discovered that the realm can contain physical matter as well and has its own assortment of beings; good and evil.” As the tag line suggests, the Astral Audio Experience seeks to provide content from a wide array of possibilities … audio drama being a main focus. If there are any questions, don’t hesitate to email me.

I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of Personal Effects: Dark Art which will hit store shelves in a couple of weeks. While I love my Kindle, it is books like this that insure that printed books are never going to go away. You’ll have to pick up a copy to see what I mean, but the whole style and printing is as much a part of the story as the written words are. Trust me and order a copy today.Personal Effects: Dark Art, May 2009

You should read the whole article.

Feel free to share this post on Facebook, through email, retweet it on Twitter, stumble it, etc. This poll will close next Sunday, and the next one will begin the following day. Good luck to all those involved, and don’t hesitate to ask your listeners/fans/followers to vote for you.

If you are asking yourself, “Why do we have to vote again?” My response is this: Tabz edged out Scott Sigler by four votes; not only that, but neither one got a true majority. In US elections, a winner is declared if someone obtains over 50% of the votes cast. Needless to say, that is why I knew that another poll was required. So enough of my build up, and as Mills Lane would say, “Let’s get it on!”

So go for it and buy yourself several copies of Personel Effects: Dark Art.

An odd title for an episode eh? Trust me, I do have a reason for it. I have tried with each audio presentation to bring to you something that engaged me emotionally in some way. Even the themed ones have had something in them that struck a chord. So when I read a blog post regarding a contest that wanted people to write about such experiences, I became excited. The post discussed the wave of celebrities that have been populating Twitter as of late; most not caring to interact with people but to rack up a number of followers. While I could easily slip into a diatribe, I will instead take a different approach and highlight someone on Twitter who has used the given medium for what it is; a method of interaction between interested parties who follow each other. The band Collective Soul has broken the mold and remembers through each reply given or picture posted that it is thanks to their loyal fans that they are popular. So I did as that blog post instructed and followed @collective_soul, sent a direct message, and thus, the seeds for the podcast episode were planted.

The band reminds me of myself, and for you who may be knew, the reason why isn’t obvious. I can best explain it this way. When I was learning the ropes through various academic institutions, I had this desire to be different; not in the, “Hey, pick me!” attention-seeking way, but in the, “I’m Allen, and this is what I do.” The friends I did obtain or attract were drawn to my humble actions and not an arrogant attitude. Collective Soul can best be described as having the same general principle. Even with all the albums they have sold, the many tours they’ve been on, the awards won, you know when you are going to see this band live or here their latest single, you are going to get Collective Soul; rock that is going to energize you, evoke some kind of emotion from deep down, and get an ear-worm stuck in your head for days. It isn’t just the fact that “What you see is what you get,” but how approachable and for lack of a better word, normal they are; like the casual group of friends still trying to make their first album and playing more so because they love to play rather than earn money.

Furthermore, we both have an ear for the eclectic. Long time listeners of my podcast know that not every episode that has music is the same as far as genre selection is concerned. The band has given us something different with each album, and to narrow your vision for just a moment, every single they’ve released. Yet, there is something that reminds you of who they are, what they sound like, and the quality you are getting when you give them a listen. Good illustrations of this can be found in the songs “Gel”, “December”, “Why Pt. 2″, “Heavy”, and their first single (which appears in the episode) “Shine.” No matter how many times you hear each song, you take away something new. (Now that is ear candy you can enjoy!) As an individual who relies on hearing things, I appreciate the rich textures, where the instruments are placed, not only how the vocals come across, but what is said. Even though I haven’t attended a Collective Soul concert, I’ve heard that their live show is an experience you won’t soon forget; the band is currently on their 2009 tour so if you get the chance, check them out.

I’m going to do something a little different here and break down each song I played in this episode. I won’t go into overall meanings of the songs themselves but I’ll let you in on how I was impacted; thereby giving you a little insight as to why each song was chosen. Take from it what you will and let me know in the comments what you think; there is the voice mail option as well. Your feedback is what helps fuel the fire as always.

“All That I Know”

A song that has a somewhat lazy vibe. Picture a summer afternoon, you sitting on a wrap-around porch, and enjoying the scenery. Or maybe you are on a picnic with the one you care for; the two of you on a bright blue blanket under a shady tree. This is the song that would work nicely for both of those scenarios. It is repetitive but in a good way; leaving an impression long after the track is finished. Echos of a good tall glass of ice-cold lemonade; the after effects making you feel relaxed and refreshed at the same time.

“Shine”

A familiar desire of the eager student wanting to be enlightened; this song mirrors a cry for help. However, it is a hopeful urge; not a sorrowful declaration. I think we all want to shine in our own way. No wonder this song hit a nerve in the collective consciousness in the early 90s. It still speaks volumes today; hallmarks of good song writing in my opinion.

“Staring Down”

A song that hits home; it has a sort of Gospel tempo. Think of a guy praying in front of an altar or someone standing in front of the door to his house with flowers in hand; both images reflect humble attitudes. The song communicates a kind of sweet release from past held behaviors which hindered the individual. When we realize our mistakes and how we can break free from the vines that entangle us, we strive to go beyond our natural limits.

Final Thoughts

I thoroughly enjoyed this whole process; from finding out about the contest, to having interactions with the band, to picking the songs, and putting it altogether in a nice-sized audio package for you to experience. It is days like this when I can safely say I am doing what I love. So enjoy the tunes and leave me any feedback. Don’t be a stranger and get yourself subscribed to find out the latest happenings or hear what music I unleash upon your ears. There is more excitement ahead, and I want you to be a part of it. Call 206-338-2138 and leave a message if you’d like to be in the next episode.

About Crescent

“Crescent is the last stop at the intergalactic crossroads of gritty sci-fi and pucker-inducing horror.” –Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious

• download beavis and butt head do america dvd

“Crescent is the ultimate sci-fi / horror mashup. It’s a wicked blend of the claustrophobia seen in Ridley Scott’s Alien, and the viral demonology of Carpenter’s Prince Of Darkness with the hard-drinkin’ bad attitude of Battlestar Galactica added for good measure. The future has never been so frightening. Phil Rossi brings it.” –J.C. Hutchins, author of Personal Effects: Dark Art and 7th Son: Descent

“Phil Rossi has crafted a space station tale with sex, horror, and vibrant attention to tech and human detail. Evocatively served, highly recommended.” —Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates

a taste of flesh. But now, the darkness is stirring with a life of its own. Crescent Station is the last bastion of civilization, floating in the cold, outer systems where colonized space gives way to the sparser settlements of the Frontier. Like the boom towns of distant Earth’s Old American West, Crescent Station is a gateway to power, wealth, and opportunity for anyone who isn’t afraid to get his or her hands dirty. But deep within the station’s bowels, in Crescent’s darkest and most secret places, an ancient evil is awakening and hungry, and it threatens the very fabric of space and time. Will the residents of Crescent Station find a way to stop it before the terror drives them insane? Or is it already too late?

Tomorrow is the Amazon rush, and Astral Audio Productions wants you to be a part of history. July 9, 2009 is when you can buy the book. Watch the trailer below, and come back tomorrow when I will give you the link to hit the charts!

2. Retweet this post and ask your followers this prompt.
3. Respond to me on Twitter.
4. Call 206-338-2138 and leave your answer.
5. Record your response and send it to me as an mp3 file. (Instructions for mp3 files are on the contact page of our site.)

If you can do more than one, great! The more feedback we receive, the better our choices will be when we decide on the number to use. And as a side note, the K7 number will still be kept as a backup.

As a side note, I am reminded of a scene from Star Trek: TNG that fits this scenario.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The first step is often the hardest. Whether it is a new writing project, a class assignment, an oral presentation, or musical composition, the fear of rejection stands in the way of progress. So as you go throughout this week, take a chance and simply dive in. If you get 100 rejection letters, you are doing something right because somewhere in that dark cloud is a silver lining. Eleminate the word “can’t” from your vocabulary and thought process. The more you feel, believe, and think you “can” do something, you will find yourself able to “Boldly go where no one has gone before.”

Questions to start the week: What will you start today? How can you rid yourself of the word ‘can’t” in your life? How can you motivate others to boldly go beyond what is expected of them? Answer in the comments, and feel free to share this post with your friends, colleagues, and family. And if this inspired you in any way, let me know.

It is time for all of you to break out your handy dandy notebooks, sit in your thinking chairs, put on your ultra-rad thinking caps, and think. No, this isn’t a call for you to find out what clues Blue has left for you; however, this is a chance to ponder questions for the infamous Tabz! Questions can be anything geek related, about podcasts, the ins and outs of audio productions; you name it. Questions are due 11:11 eastern Friday evening. Tabz will be emailed the questions and she will then record her reactions as well as her responses; then you will get a spiced up version of that. Sound good? Let the questions fly!

A couple things:
Questions should be emailed to all...@astralaudio.net.
Emails should have “Questions For Tabz” as the subject line.

Update Monday Sept. 28: The launch date is either going to be Oct 1st or Oct 2nd. We are still taking emails for who will want to play the promo.

Astral Audio Productions is looking to fill October with plenty of gruesome goodies for its listeners and readers. We are looking for horror authors who want to share a short story or two, musicians that have horror-themed music they want played in a podcast,film-makers that have any horror short films they want viewed, (any audio drama organizations that have horror-themed material they wish us to play), or anyone who wishes to review any of the films coming out in October.

Posts must be a minimum of 300 words. Any music offered must be owned by the band/artist who submits it for podcast inclusion. Short films must be able to be embedded on the Astral Audio Productions website. (Audio dramas can be one or several episodes in length but must include a call back to the audio drama group’s website.) Film reviews must be for any of the horror-themed variety. All participants will have appropriate links given at the end of each contribution.

Previously published OK?: No
Posts needed by (date): 10/31/2009
Emails sent to: allen at astralaudio.net with “October 2009″ as the subject line

This post has to be read several times over. Truly amazing stuff for writers, musicians, painters, actors, podcasters etc. It goes beyond the mere labels and cuts deep into the living, breathing flesh of humanity. Replace every instance of “writer”with “person” or “individual” and see what you come up with. Go ahead. Take a leap into inspiration!

Ariel Palooza Day 1 (Right click, download, and experience.)

From the creator of the Astral Audio Experience, Astral Audio Extra, Astral Audio Double Feature, and last year’s Halloween Special comes the event of the fall season. Hailed as an onslaught of entertainment for your ears; Astral Audio Productions teams up with Ariel Publicity to unleash upon the masses . . . Ariel Palooza!

Jessie Murphy – In the Woods

This song sounds like something from Loreena McKennitt and draws you in with the rhythm and a sense of sheer curiosity. It has a good folk-like sound, though you can feel the girls’ wanting to rock out a little. Their harmonies are beautiful and make the song haunt you for days (in the best of ways). This song makes you want to dance or make out with someone in a forest somewhere. Perhaps with a childhood sweetheart.

Kalliopi – Fire and Sea

Beautiful voice draws you in, as does the almost traditional Greek melody and voice nuances. A slow and lazy beat with the occasional guitar riff allows you to focus on her soft whispers, like tendrils creeping in and mesmerizing you. There’s a great climax when turmoil is made clear by the screaming guitar and the clashing layers of voices. You are left with the impression of slow, difficult, and life-changing journeys.

KaiserCartel – Oh No

This song has an old folk-rock, roadhouse blues kind of sound and is slightly reminiscent of Regina Spektor. The male chorus harmonies are a great touch and the song closes with a cool chord shift that makes you think twice.

Clara Bellino – Potential Criminal

This is clearly a story told through a light, upbeat pop song. The building rhythm pulls you right in and the hilarious chorus raises questions about how legal US immigrants feel in their newly-adopted country (as well as about how we “typical” Americans live and think). Includes clever uses of the national anthem. The guitar bridge leaves room for the imagination to create an elaborate immigration/assimilation montage. The use of the last line is very poignant.

Jennings – Umbrella

Upon first hearing this song you ask, “what the fuck is this?” but then you feel the pit-pattering of rain in the beat and the soft breeze of the background vocal. When the lyrics start, you get it. The lead singer’s soft voice makes this a very heartfelt and inviting version of the song. It’s simple with a refreshing a cappella sound.

Monika Jalili – Dance of the Stars

The song’s traditional drum and guitar sound pulls you immediately in, then the strings solidify your interest in this gypsy-folk-sounding piece. It makes you want to dance under the moon (hence the title of the song, I suppose). I have no idea what she’s saying since the song is Iranian, but her voice is clear, beautiful, and operatic (obviously trained) and carries with it a great deal of history. The melody is simultaneously haunting and inviting, the rhythm is solid, and the song fails to be repetitive. Awesome.

Dala – Fortress

This piece has a slow, lazy beginning and the typical soft-yet-powerful female-folk-singer voice. Beautiful harmonies and a quick guitar lament as they tell the tale of two people from different worlds who are afraid to love one another. More generally, this band has a great sound (as you’ll hear later).

UnderWhelmed – Freak

Heavy sound pulls you right in with an unanswerable question. The lead singer’s voice is reminiscent of Nickelback’s, but the band’s overall sound is much heavier. The lyrics are as simple as the message that comes across. I love the bridge in this song where the lyrics are perhaps most powerful as they prepare to break back into the chorus.

Cyanide – Lunacy

This song’s introduction is very techno-like and sounds almost like something you would hear at a club or roller-rink. The lyrics are not comprised of your typical rap topics; instead, Cyanide talks about zombies, serial killers, and insanity! His rhymes are clever and fun but warning, there is some profanity, drug references, and graphic descriptions. I could see this song used for a gory showdown in a horror/slasher movie.

Ten Year Vamp – Pleasures (That I Call Mine)

The song jumps right into its groove and you quickly notice that they sound a little like The Donnas (not that that’s a bad thing!). The lead vocalist has a strong voice and lots of aggressive energy; the heavy beat pushes the song along as she rocks out to her desires. Several quick shifts give the song a few unexpected twists.

David Packouz – Carpe Diem!

An awesome, catchy percussion introduction makes way for some intense guitar work. The vocals begin as a raspy whisper that coincides with the story, but they then become the powerful male vocalist of the rock world. His voice maintains its clarity so you can understand the lyrics easily. Great message (can you guess what it is?) and sound (borderline prog rock).

Million Dollar Mouth – Space Out

The band is reminiscent of Incubus and Bush and yet it definitely has its own sound, too. There is some spaciness to the song in terms of its sound—it is simultaneously distant and in your face—and the rhythm is great. I love the sound of the bridge and chorus; the song is like a modern space odyssey.

JJ Sinatra – Spittin’ Forever

This piece has a trippy introduction with a light keyboard sound that almost prepares you for a soft pop song, but then the male vocal breaks in, surprising you with a slow rap. The lyrics tell about the creative process and the need to share the results. The song is catchy and powerful, though a warning because of some mild language. I particularly love the outro that almost sounds like a cry let out into the world.

Promise Lab – Burned Again

A heavy beginning for a song that makes a lot of use of the guitar’s whammy bar and the band’s awesome lead vocalist. There is little variation in the song until the bridge, but the band has an awesome sound nonetheless that is especially great for rocking out in the car (I speak from experience).

. . . Ariel Palooza!

HuDost – Trespasser

An energetic, catchy introduction is followed by a Sarah-McLachlan-like-voice. The song is rhythmic and Siren-like with its lead vocalist and background harmonies and, like the monsters’ island, it is hauntingly refreshing. Imagine being lost at sea—tossed about unmercifully—but loving every second of the adventure.

Nick Daugherty – Movin’ Higher

This song has a folk/country sound with a strong and confident lead male vocalist. The sound reminds me a little of a folky Lifehouse; it is very whimsical, especially with the fun unexpected percussion features. It would make for a great “hanging around outside” song.

Janyse – Dreamers

This song is slow with a Euro-pop sound and almost reminds me of a more pop-like Celine Dion piece. It also sounds like something from an 80’s or 90’s kids’ movie (but not in a bad way!), which makes sense given that this artist also does music for children and animation voice-overs. Basically, this song is just uplifting and fun.

Mammút – Svefnskt

A slow beginning picks up with the wailing of a few angry guitars that are reminiscent of old-school Kittie. The female singer has a clear voice (though she doesn’t sing in English) and does well as she switches between singing, whispering, and yelling. There are also lots of unexpected shifts in the piece that keep you on your toes. Great song (and band, more generally).

Glideascope – Istanbul

The song’s slow beat and piano create a starry-night ambiance, but then the urban beat, scratches, and trash-can-lid percussion bring it into the city lights. The background flute and chanting that enter later help the song transcend genre and bring the unbridled wilderness associated with folk music into the city, too. The city is a wilderness of all kinds, I suppose?

Planetary Nights – Planetary Nights

This is a trippy blues song that creates a different nighttime wilderness than Glideascope. The background effects and slow guitar create an ambiance that is made concrete with the lead vocal. Think hippies in a sleepy daze, lying around a bonfire together in a field in the middle of nowhere looking up at the sky and discussing its infinite tie-dye and paisley possibilities. Then you have an idea of what this song is like.

Bone Gunn – Wild River (Burning Bridges Mix)

This song has a galloping beat and many unexpected twists and turns, such as a cowbell keeping a beat with electronic effects trying to overpower it. Whispered vocals give the song’s poetry a further sense of urgency before it becomes an almost rallying chant for those who are often rendered invisible. I particularly love the folk dance interrupted by the beat of hammering metal.

Olafur Arnalds – 3055

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it and have been listening to it constantly. Its haunting beginning on the piano reminds you of an autumn rain. The violin is sorrowful as it is influenced by the steadiness of the piano. However, as melancholy as it is, background chords, especially towards the middle of the song, restore hope, as if the sun is peaking through and the rainbow is forming. The transience of that display of light is upsetting, as sensed by the violin and the still-pattering piano-rain, but the percussion and volume break you of the sad spell and so you relish the moment and the happiness it brings all the more. I especially love the plucked strings at the end with the fervent piano.

Dala – Anywhere Under the Moon

As before, Dala’s light gypsy-rock haunts you with its distant guitar and female harmonies. The steady beat and soft folk voice carry it along with some down-to-earth lyrics. The ending has an interesting but awesome surprise.

Radiant – I Don’t Need a Reason

The beginning sounds a little like an 80’s or 90’s pop song with heavy beat and a keyboard, piano, and background vocal combination. Finally it breaks into a heavy techno with a male vocalist who is easily understandable amongst the barrage of sounds and has a solid yet soothing voice. The female background harmonies are a nice touch. This song definitely has a steampunk or even soft-core goth kind of sound, since it’s an awesome hybrid of rock and techno/electronica.

Ten Year Vamp – Never Know

This song sounds like your typical pop-punk starting off, but then the lead singer pulls you in as a Siren would with her great rock voice with some pop elements (I love it, personally). Definitely an in-your-face kick-ass female-lead rock band without the fakeness or the pink fluff (like some female “punk” singers we’ve heard before). I’ve been addicted to the whole album.

Heather Edwards – I’ve Decided

An “exotic” (I dislike that word but can’t think of a replacement) introduction leads into an almost tribal beat. The lead singer’s voice is soft but strong—it reminds me a little of the Cranberries’s lead singer. Very positive message attached to a very catchy tune.

Megaphone – My Favorite New Disaster

This is a band that, though I thought it sounded trendy at first, caught my attention after giving it a chance. Great breaks and energy combine with some interesting (and so true!) lyrics for a fun tune. This is another great one for when you feel like rocking out in the car. Singing along is optional.

Stars Go Dim – Love Go Mad

This song sounds like a slow and depressing pop song at first with its beat, piano, and lamenting male vocalist; however, a guitar finally enters the scene to give it a little more of a rock sound alongside the piano until it then turns to percussion and a bass, as well. Reminiscent of Lifehouse but with a little more rock to it.

Spy For Hire – As Good as New

A lazy guitar and some percussion open this one, creating an almost country feel, but then it moves to more of a rock sound with a decent amount of energy. Great rhythm shifts make the song interesting and the male harmonies are great and almost a cappella-like. For whatever reason, I think this would be a good beach song. Maybe it’s the changes in energy and the reminiscent-of-waves-and-surfers whammy bar action.

F&M – Another Closing Number

This piece sounds like a roadhouse bar song and I love it. The male vocalist breaks the mold and the song is deep, as you would expect a song at closing time to be. The lyrics are what carry the song through in the beginning since there isn’t much variation in the sound until the vocalist becomes a little more passionate and the piano enters near the closing. Haunting vocals close the tune as the rhythm fades out.

If you are a podcaster and enjoyed the experience of Ariel Palooza, I encourage you to download the promo and play it in your next podcast. I had 25 or so promos throughout the four days and enjoyed promoting everyone’s work. While I couldn’t have all the individuals named, I did strive to have quite a few singled out. It is close to 2 minutes for a promo, and it would have been shorter if I hadn’t gone for the radio station/music festival vibe; not that I regret the end result mind you. The real stand out performance is done by my voice over guy, Jace Edwards. Besides being my inspiration for wanting to get into the broadcasting field, he is top-notch talent, one of the politest guys you will ever meet, and enjoys what he does on a daily basis. He took my short pass and managed to turn it in for an awesome 50yd touchdown
play.

If you use the promo, I want you to do a few things. First, be sure to link to www.AstralAudio.net. Second, email me so I know you used the promo and can thank you. And finally, email Jace telling him who you are, if you liked the promo, or if you want him to do any voice over work for you.

Keep the experience alive,
Allen

Yes, there are a few promos this time around but . . . they fit the mood I think.

Track List

1. Midnight
2. Stealth
3. They Walk Among Us
4. Infected
5. Alone
6. Taking It Back
7. Reboot

Promos

Two promos for Broken Sea Audio, and a cross-over promotion for Angel Between The Lines with Tales Of The Children.
