This one gets too long at the end but for some reason I wanted the ending bit of narration from the original radio drama to play out by itself--maybe because it was so in the style of an HP Lovecraft parody but played completely straight. I'm always looking for the old-time-radio horrorshow that will impress me as much as The Thing On The Fourbleboard and rarely finding them--I recently learned of the South African radio drama from 1968-1970 called Beyond Midnight and the episode "The Green Vase" in particular, which was among a list of the 'scariest OTR.' It was certainly dramatic, although it didn't really challenge the intellect. I don't know if it was necessarily worth of memorializing in a half-hour long composition but sometimes things just spin out of your control I suppose--I've been putting off writing Anyone Can Make Noise by trying to find the perfect inroad to the subject, and the diagrams of the methods behind the sounds you can hear in the composition is kind of like me trying to teach myself how to talk about making noise.
