BEERFINGER -- Heart of the Machine

3/17/2020

If you follow the channel on YouTube this may seem like old news, but if not, here are some updates regarding Beerfinger's upcoming 3rd album "Heart of the Machine." It's been eating up a lot of my time as well as my brain lately. It should be done in a month, maybe less thanks to the quarantine. There's nothing else to do except work. That said, it's a labor of love regardless of how tortuous it is. I've learned a great deal the last few years about audio engineering, and with each project, this album especially, things have gotten better to a degree I never thought possible. I'm looking forward to sharing this album with y'all, and hope you're looking forward to hearing it.

I am fortunate enough to have been included the inaugural issue of a magnificent collection of noir, crime fiction called "Hoosier Noir." A series of gritty mysteries centered in Indiana. Available on Amazon, this first issue contains a variety of fantastic authors who littered gem-lines throughout every story. Any fan of hardboiled fiction would do well to grab themselves a copy right this minute.

My story, entitled "The Haunted Crave Knowing," is about a depressed female P.I. who gave up her last fuck a long time ago. She's been hired to investigate a murder no one wants to solve and the case just keeps reminding our detective of the one thing she cares about, the one thing she's lost forever. Based on a real unsolved murder, this story will have you reaching for a whiskey right quick.

A Blood Red Reindeer Knows -- Parts 8 & 9

So, we've reached the end of the audio adaptation for "A Blood Red Reindeer Knows." I've enjoyed this little journey. Not only did I learn a lot along the way, but I'm confident saying the site may be going more in this direction. Audio has always fascinated me, and dramatizations like this I think bring the stories to life in unique ways. Plus, this is a chance to combine so many different things I enjoy doing into one form -- art, music, writing and storytelling.

I won't lie. Sometimes it felt like more of a pain in the taint than seemed necessary. However, if you compare part one to part 9, you'll hear how much progress has been made. Getting better equipment helped, certainly, but there's more to it than just having a quality mic, especially if adding music. Yes, sound effects need improvement, though I think they'll come together in the future. Meanwhile, I have an album to finish -- Beerfinger's "Heart of the Machine" is on the horizon -- so I'll leave to listen to the thrilling conclusion to this strange noir tale. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!
