Happy 2010! A lot of stuff has been going on around GoldSpike Audio; we’ve retooled our website and posted a short audio production called Any Children, Mr. Bach? which we hope you’ll download as soon as you get the chance. But our biggest news is that we’re ready, after much research, preparation and creative agony, and after major upgrades in almost every facet of production quality, to move forward with our next full-length audio musical – Creation/Evolution…Remixed!
THE PREMISE
Creation/Evolution…Remixed, as currently projected, is a wild new Western adventure, 65-ish minutes long, featuring 11-12 singable songs that capture the basics of the creation-evolution debate in lingo any cowpoke can understand. From the deficiencies of natural selection and random mutation to the case for a young earth, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your funny bone fractured!
THE PLOT
It’s the white hats against the black hats in a bizarre battle to save the town of Worldview, Texas! Will the evolutionists detonate the Big Bang and get away with their nefarious schemes? Will the Lone Creationist make hamburger out of the sacred cows of evolution? Will little Dudley Sassafras ever hang up his gray hat and figure out what side he’s actually on?
Will we ever get this thing on CD so you can listen to it and find out?
THE PLEA
Frankly, it’d be easier with your help. Right now we’re looking for a few more highly talented musicians/singers to flesh out our musical corps, folks who live within spitting distance of southeast Michigan and who’d be available to volunteer for some studio sessions around the spring of 2010. Due to our microscopic budget we can’t afford to pay much of anything, but we can guarantee a pretty fun experience, as well as an awesome little bit of print in the CD credits. (Players of cheesy folk instruments such as banjos, harmonicas, accordions and jugs are especially welcome!)
If you’ve got ideas on this stuff, by all means give us a shout at goldspikeaudio@comcast.net. We’d dearly love to hear from you.
In the meantime, of course, you can diligently check this blog to keep abreast of the latest developments. The goal is to start laying tracks in February, but there’s plenty of stuff going on right now. (And if by some chance you aren’t acquainted with our previous release, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar Remixed, by all means check that out too.)
Exciting times are ahead! We hope you’ll join us!
Sincerely,
Forrest Brazeal, Producer
GoldSpike Audio
