I admit, I've been defeated by the Forum.

Does anyone know where I can find all the audio recordings of EPU material that Gryphon has done? Or any audio recordings done by the Authors? I've got a couple hours of mind numbing programming and would like to do it with a smile on my face.

thanks,
t.

I didn't actually put them on the main EPU web server because of bandwidth concerns. Geoff has (or had, anyway) an archive of most of them at mephron.com, but I can't remember the name of the subdirectory they're in offhand.

So, what the hell:

http://raven.eyrie-productions.com/AUDIO/

I make no particular warranty as to quality; I don't actually remember recording some of these pieces, but they were in the "completed" directory on my desktop system, so I guess I must have finished them. I do know for a fact that some of them were recorded before I got the microphone equipment I have now, so the audio quality will not be all that great. What they are should be reasonably plain from the filenames.

(Also, the reader should note that if you get cute and manually go to the top level of that server, what you'll find is just a test version of eyrie-productions.com that was put there to facilitate attempts to update the current site's ancient PHP for use on a more modern web server. We never quite got around to finishing that project, and the site on raven shouldn't be considered a working substitute; I just put the audio up there so the downloads would clobber my own DSL rather than Zoner's. :)

LAST EDITED ON Apr-25-08 AT 04:33 PM (EDT)
 
As an aside, I finished recording the Off the Top of My Head book a couple of weeks ago (for my grandmother's 80th birthday present), but with the exception of the already-available-online D-Day 60th anniversary piece, they're all in CD-source PCM WAV files, which are much too vast to be put up for download.

I've toyed with the idea of trying to do a proper audiobook publication to go with the print edition, but I'm sure to do that right would require a do-over with proper studio equipment and a producer and that, and I haven't got the budget for it.

-wow-.

Man, I wish I had checked the forums -before- my four hour plane ride, now. :D

Wow. You totally rock my universe. I'll try to be good and download them slowly, over time, so your IP doesn't think you're suddenly running the newest version of TPB.

It's also a much bigger library than I realized. Awesome.

HUGE thanks,
t.

I have to agree with Trigger. My fav is your recording of the BPRD story.

Thanks a lot! There seem to be some stories on here I haven't listened to yet. Maybe tomorrow evening I'll have a chance.

FWIW, Geoff's archive is at

http://www.mephron.com/eyrie/uf-on-cd/index.html

It only contains Hogtown Rhapsody, Interlude at Bancroft Tower, and Sympathy for the Devil, but might as well download those stories from there and spread the bandwidth pain around a bit.

Oh, I actually finished Sympathy? The files I found on my desktop didn't seem like I had. (There are also partial recordings of a few other bits kicking around here that I was probably in the process of working on last summer when my talky-parts suddenly stopped working.)

Hey Gryph, I found an oopsie, a kind of big one, in the Rogue Squadron recording. In section 2, when Wedge is giving his pitch to Kozue (would you believe I was still mispronoucing it in my head till I hear you use it?) and he mentions the flyoff.

In the print version its between Shinsei industries and General Galactic, but you say "Stonewell Belcom" in the recording. Which isnt an issue until you remember that SB's Block 82 is supposed to be a surprise to everyone in issue 3. Also apparently you use "Lightning 3" to describe the VF-11, but in the text its "Thunderbolt".

Dunno if you want to bother fixing them or not, but thought you should be made aware.
