How ’bout the soundtrack?

Prior to AudioComics’ first meeting with Josh Finney and Kat Rocha, Josh had already contemplated audio movie versions of 01′s creations Titanium Rain and Utopiates; we are all fans of the works produced by Big Finish from Doctor Who to Judge Dredd, why not do the same here? But here’s where he took it a step further: he commissioned British musician Jonathan Sharp to create original soundtracks to go with the graphic novels. You can hear Sharp’s labor of love in the finished production of TR, now available as you know through iTunes and Amazon Mp3, as well as AudioComics Digital Direct. Now AudioComics is taking it a step further with its first ever soundtrack release. The 12 tracks from the production will be available at month’s end as Titanium Rain: The Original Soundtrack. You’ll be able to purchase it from all of the usual suspects, and we will provide links as they become available. In the meantime, here is the Mp3 art from Josh and Kat to tide you over…

“Honey West” comes to iTunes…and Titanium Rain comes to Amazon

May 28, 2012! And don’t forget, Titanium Rain is now available on Amazon Mp3, and you can purchase it for $8.99 right here.

Steve Englehart on The Domino Lady…and Elaine Lee on The Huffington Post!

From legendary comics writer Steve Englehart: “When my oldest son was little, he told me he didn’t like black and white movies, and I told him that it’s not the medium, it’s the skill of the people using the medium that matters. From there he went on to silent movies, and opera…and radio dramas. The new Domino Lady is a fully professional radio drama, with all the skill of the 1940s and the technological superiority of the 2010s. This is not a scratchy MP3 made from an old acetate – this is radio drama at its finest, with real actors and real writers — so spend some evenings with the Domino Lady.”

You can buy The Domino Lady: All’s Fair in War from iTunes; enter “The AudioComics Company” in iTunes’ search engine. It’s also available from Amazon Mp3 here.

We are also proud to say that co-Producer Elaine Lee has written an article on creator-owned comics for THE HUFFINGTON POST! The article on “Fair Trade Comics” is here. Feel free to “like” and make a comment!!!

A “Titanium Rain” change:

Hi folks, Lance here:

As we speak, Bill Dufris is taking a much needed day off from the final mix of Titanium Rain. This past weekend I flew to Maine where we bounced ideas off of each other in Bill’s studio, spending close to 15 hours a day mixing and layering SFX and Jonathan Sharp’s soundtrack. It was here that Bill made a fateful decision, one that we all agree with: the piece as a whole was approaching the 90 minute mark. It will most likely be longer. Obviously longer than a single CD release. With that in mind, we have decided to make the first volume of TR a double CD, akin to that of the release of Starstruck. The simple reality is that we could make cuts…but said cuts would simply diminsh the quality of the piece, of Josh’s script, and what Bill has managed to do with it. We couldn’t bring ourselves to trim any of it. As it was with Starstruck, the new price is $22.95 for the CD, and $12.95 for digital downloads sold through the AudioComics store (obviously, the price will be different for Mp3′s sold through iTunes, Amazon Mp3, etc. as is the case with third party digital distributors). For anyone who purchased a CD or Mp3 prior to this announcement, the price change does not affect your purchase.

15 hours a day was spent fine tuning 15 minutes at a time. What I heard through Bill’s speakers blew me out of the water. I kid you not. You will not be disappointed.

PRE-ORDERS HAVE STARTED!
