Comment: This week, I put together a radio narrative science-fiction drama called 'Frazier 16.' The process: Basically I sat on my couch with my Radio Shack Optimus Micro-Cassette Recorder ($29.95) and made up the story line by line, hittingpause between sentences. As it went on, the sections would get a little longer between pauses. It was an interesting if severely flawed experiment. Hope you enjoy it. I did the 'soundtrack' on my cheap Casio keyboard through a Boss delay pedal.

A new set begins: An Ancillary Alcove of Hades - begging the question ... if hell exists ... where does it begin? Is it finite and universal or a concept forged by our own worst fears? Is the waiting room worse than the theatre of pain?
A new set begins: Bad James Mason Impersonation - Somewhere along the line I made a rather schizoid jump from me to a bad quasi-James Mason in the narration. I think i was more inspired by my Golden Records 'Time Machine' LP. everything sounds better with a little English accent and mad scientist mania.
A new set begins: Submerged In The Orange Bath Of Contentment - Again, the womb. The warmth. The liquid suspensin. Freedom from care or worry. The bliss that cannot last.

Are there things we must not know to protect some cosmic blueprint for the maintenance of order? Can forbidden knowledge gainedcause our undoing. The definite peril of artificial pleasure.

A new set begins: Corrosive Burn - The wages of sin. Of transgression and ego. Self consumption and immolation. A violation of order. The price of knowledge.
