TinCanAudio - Twitch Music, Sound Design and Podcasting streams from Amber Devereux! Home of ADDQ, Camlann and The Tower

Tonight we will be finishing our remix of a track from @jochiang.bsky.social's 'Hearthbound' with a choir made from clips sent in by our Ko-Fi members and Twitch subscribers. I can't wait to hear how it all sounds.

a cluttered, messy computer desk sits on the left side of the image while an empty, black desk sits on the right. In the middle, perpendicular to the desks are two synths stacked on a double keyboard stand.

The same two desks. The desk on the right is now full of synthesizers, machines and a reel-to-reel tape machine. The desk on the left is still cluttered, but in a sort of tidier way

I spent my weekend building a new desk and reorganising my setup and tonight I'll be stress testing it as we continue work on our lo-fi remix of @jochiang.bsky.social's Hearthbound

I'm making a video game!! My Darling Monk is a story of choice, change, and transformation. It's also a story of being irresistibly yummy to monsters (smash), solving problems for useless monarchs (pass), and having absolutely no powers at all.

I've been enjoying Hearthbound a lot. I especially loved the "I'm nobody" inclusion. An unexpected benefit of listening to Hearthbound is that I might finally be ready to read my copy of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey <3

I just finished Hearthbound: An Untelling Of The Odyssey (@jochiang.bsky.social) πŸšπŸ•

It was exactly what I needed for this week.

A fresh and unapologetically queer take on the Ancient Greek tale in the form of an apocalyptic road trip, featuring gorgeous music, and a beautiful, cosy love story.

πŸ₯ƒ Love and Luck Ep 4-5: It's lovely to listen to a love story that's not about the will-or-won't-they, that's about the feeling of finally being seen and the safety of being understood. It's a kind of magic. And here, maybe literally.

🐺 Me and AU Ep 1-3: There's nothing quite like the fandom for a small Canadian supernatural show with a dubious budget (hello Lost Girl) to instill in you a disproportionate about of devotion. And truly, writing fanfiction for someone is high on the hierarchy of love languages.

β˜” Mabel Ep 3-4: Even though Anna, for all intents and purposes, is around at least another person every day, her loneliness is palpable. The oddities and mysteries almost feel like symptoms of that loneliness. The way your mind plays tricks on you, the more time you spend inside your own thoughts.

🚦 Alice Isn't Dead, Ch 2 - Alice: We all deserve a little toxic yuri, as a treat. And a strange ghostly town (or relationship) that you leave, but you can't escape, like an immovable object/unstoppable force way of living. What is the result of that collision? Confusion, chaos, then it's gone.

It's the last #audiodramasunday before the Hearthbound finale, so in honor of Odessa and Penelope, I'm featuring some other shows featuring queer love stories (some more romantic than others…):
