Audio Flare Gun

@Nullsleep when you wrote ‘Alternate reality’ I instantly thought of the old Atari 800 game Alternate Reality The City Intro Atari 800 - YouTube

@n9n9n9 I love these educational film shorts!!! I can’t wait to go through them!

@hermbot thanks for the baseball link! I use stuff like this to fall asleep to as well!

I loved that damn game. So ambitious! The dungeon sequel was good too. Wish it had continued but then I probably wouldn’t have the patience to play it now. I used to watch the intro and sing along!

my brother-in-law played the intro for me when he still had an Atari 800 system and a telephone modem. I love the opening tune, it reminds me of ELO’s “Time” album. If we get real ambitious maybe we can record a version of Alternate Reality with other folks here the same way Lou Reed did with various artists on “Perfect Day” Various Artists | Feat. Heather Small | Perfect Day | Music Video - YouTube

@Chino I listened to the first episode, loved it! Looking forward to hearing more.

I try to go through the Releases category and hear what people are working on, but I think there is a lot of value in having people’s work collected like this. Nicely done!

Chino · 2023-03-03T17:59:45.651Z

@hermbot thank you for your kind words, and thanks for contributing tracks to the first show! I enjoyed making it and look forward to doing more also!

@chino just finished the first episode. I really enjoyed it - it was a nice way to remember that lines is ultimately a community of musicians, even though my main interaction with them is reading text on a screen.

I would love to contribute to a future episode if you are still looking for songs. My SoundCloud is here:

If there’s anything there you’d like to include let me know and I can send over the original file.

Chino · 2023-03-07T15:34:49.006Z

@jdormit thank you! yesterday was crazy at work, I’m just now reading your post. I’ll listen to your tracks on my lunch break! thanks again!

Chino · 2023-03-07T17:58:40.411Z

@jdormit I dig your work! Can you send links please? Thanks!

jdormit · 2023-03-08T04:03:53.009Z

Links sent to your email!

Hey gang, I didn’t intend to go this long between shows. One of the reasons Audio Flare Gun has been on a hiatus is because I’ve been finishing up a grant-funded project at my day job…

My co-workers and I made an interactive map for patients in the Urology clinic at the hospital I where I work. It has QR codes and an LED light triggered by a proximity sensor. Thankfully I am building up PTO, and I have just requested some time off specifically to record another show. Thanks to @WilliamHazard for your encouragement. ETA for the next Audio Flare Gun is mid June.

Chino · 2023-06-02T17:34:28.057Z

THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER! Episode 2 of Audio Flare Gun is coming soon to a set of headphones or a bluetooth speaker near you! While you’re waiting here is a sneak listen to what’s coming…

I’ve been listening to these games ALOT lately @hermbot – thanks for telling me about them. I download them and break them down into 30 min segments and I’m usually asleep in the first 10 minutes.
