New Forums - Audio Drama Talk

Submitted by Paul Campbell on Jan 9th, 2008

Audio Drama Talk
There is a new Forum for anyone interested in Audio Drama. Whether as listeners or as creators. Discuss your favorite shows, I hope ours are among those, and anything else related to Audio Drama.
Go on over to Audio Drama Talk and sign up. Tell them I sent you. (i.e. Put 'paul campbell' in the referrer field during registration).
You'll also a find a link to these forums from the front page of Cossmass Productions. Go there and talk about us. With Episode Four of Estalvin's Legacy, there should be enough clues to start you speculating about what is really happening. Tell me what you think.
We don't have a section of our own (yet!) so post your suspicions in Audio Drama Open House / General.
These forums are an outgrowth from The Sonic Society, a showcase promoting modern Audio Drama from around the world. The Sonic Society are big supporters of Cossmass Productions. They have to be, I kidnapped Jack and Shannon and forced them to record lines for Estalvin's Legacy. Listen to them both in Episode Four.

Year's End

Submitted by Paul Campbell on Dec 31st, 2007

We're at the end of what has been a busy year. Cossmass Productions began publishing it's first series, Estalvin's Legacy, in June.

What had originally been conceived as a 12 part series became something a bit more. While the story has remained the same, the realisation that episodes 2 and 3, as plotted, would have been around 90 minutes each caused a minor change in plans. The exact number of episodes isn't definite yet. I'm now aiming at 30 minute episodes.

Of course, I can't mention Estalvin's Legacy without giving a huge thanks to all those involved in helping me bring this story into the world. And that would be the talented cast who have given their time freely and willingly. I do try not to abuse there generosity.

Thanks also to The Sonic Society, SFF Audio and Variant Frequencies. I really do appreciate what you've done for us.

The second series, Rebels of the Red Planet, is my first attempt at narration. I hope I'm getting better with each new chapter. Chapter 6 should be out the first week of January after a break over the holidays. read more »

Chapter 5: Maya Cara Nome looked from her furnished room through cracked shutters at the building across the street.
A barber college. The building at 49 Sage Avenue, Mars City, was a barber college.
That surprised her. She didn't know exactly what she had expected: a hospital, perhaps, or even a kindergarten. But a barber college!

Chapter 4: Fancher Laddigan made his way down a long dim corridor in the rear portion of the Childress Barber College, in Mars City's eastern quarter. He stopped and hesitated, with some trepidation, before an unmarked door near the end of the corridor.
Completely bald, bespectacled and well up in years, Fancher looked like a clerk and he had the instincts of a clerk. Yet he utilized that appearance and those instincts in a perilous cause.
Fancher knocked timidly on the door. On receiving an indistinct invitation from inside, he pushed it open and entered.

Chapter 3: Maya's education was extensive, but it did not include the genetic sciences. She was able to follow Goat's explanations and his references to the charts he hung, one after another, on the wall of his study, but she was able to follow them only in a general sense. The technical details escaped her.
Nuwell seemed to have a better grasp of the subject. He nodded his dark, curly head frequently, and occasionally asked a question or two.
"Surgery is performed with a concentrated electron stream on the cells of the early embryo," said Goat. "I call it surgery, but actually it is an alteration of the structure of certain specific genes which govern the characteristics I am attempting to change. Such changes would, of course, then be transmitted on down to any progeny.

Chapter 2: Adam and Brute followed Goat Hennessey down the corridor, towering over him like Saint Bernards on the heels of a terrier. They turned into the dining room, a big square room centered with a rude table and chairs, one wall pierced by a fireplace in which a big cauldron steamed over smouldering coals.
The dining room swarmed with a dozen small creatures, human in their pink flesh, more or less human in their twisted bodies. As soon as Goat entered with Adam and Brute in tow, the assemblage set up a high-pitched howling and twittering of anticipation and began beating utensils on the dishes, table and walls.
"Quiet!" squawked Goat over the tremendous clatter, and the noise subsided. They stood where they were, bright eyes fixed on him.

Chapter 1: It is a sea, though they call it sand.
They call it sand because it is still and red and dense with grains. They call it sand because the thin wind whips it, and whirls its dusty skim away to the tight horizons of Mars.
But only a sea could so brood with the memory of aeons. Only a sea, lying so silent beneath the high skies, could hint the mystery of life still behind its barren veil.
