“The Sounds of Nightmares: Music Composed For Campfire Radio Theater”

The Sounds of Nightmares: Music Composed For Campfire Radio Theater For about the last year and a half, I have been writing music for a podcast. What the hell is a podcast? Aside from a silly word, Wikipedia says ''A podcast is a form of digital media that consists of a series of audio or digital radio episodes, subscribed to, and downloaded through web syndication or streamed online to a computer or mobile device. The word is a portmanteau of "(i)Pod" and "broadcast."' Essentially, it generally seems to be, an mp3, you see, and most of the time, available for......

Campfire Radio Theater: “Night Delivery”

Campfire Radio Theater: "Night Delivery" The latest horror story from Campfire Radio Theater is called "Night Delivery" and is set in the 80s.

It was a wonderful challenge to assemble music for the story drawing from the archives of Overlook Hotel Records and creating new music. Quite a bit of the music written for the show was played backwards to fit the theme of backmasking. A couple of the tracks used in the story were written by friends of mine......

Audio Drama Production Podcast Interview: Ep. #49-Composing Music For Audio Drama It was in the 70s when I first heard audio drama.

Fortunately for me, my father didn't mind me enjoying scary stories at......

Campfire Radio Theater: “Ghosts of Flannan Lighthouse”

Campfire Radio Theater: "Ghosts of Flannan Lighthouse" Writing music is a pleasure. Writing creepy music is even better. Over the last month or so I have worked on just over thirty short pieces of music for the latest episode of Campfire Radio Theater. "Ghosts of Flannan Lighthouse" was written by Campfire Radio Theater creator, John Ballentine, and is based on an actual historical event. The Telegraph (UK) ran a short story about the event which occurred just over 100 years ago. It remains an unsolved mystery to this day. I have seen lighthouses on the coasts of the US and in......
