2:00:00 – Take a deep dive into The Overnightscape Underground (Onsug) Archive…

Onsug is a massive collection of audio – currently over 6,200 tracks, totaling over 251 days of audio. But what’s in the archive? What does it sound like?

I chopped each audio track into 5-minutes segments, with the last segment of each being what’s left, and so less than 5 minutes. Once completed, I had over 75,000 of these segments. By playing them in random order, we can deeply explore what’s inside the archive, to get an idea of what it contains.

In this first Onsug Explorer, we hear two hours of segments, with one cross-fading into the next. I really had no idea what to expect, but I really enjoyed listening – and more importantly, it really starts to give a sense of what’s inside the Onsug Archive.

For now, this is an experimental show… but hopefully it will lead to new ways of getting people into Onsug, and new ways of exploring it. Let me know what you think.

1:14:13 – The big seasonal celebration returns to the podcast…. Halloween 2014 is here! After a couple year’s hiatus, Byron resurrects his scarefest for the podcast. Being that this is his 3rd episode as such (do we hear trilogy?), he decides to pull out all the stops & make this possibly the grandest ghouls night out yet! Of course to do this, he invites some surprise guests on the show to tell their real life tales of terror!

So with this one, you truly get it all… horror, comedy, & a rocking soundtrack (with some great musical contributions from the likes of Letter Seventeen, Khemique, & Immortal Chorus)! We promise… by the end of this outing, you’ll literally be screaming for more! Happy Halloween!
