The Overnightscape Underground

Because of the semi-massive snow storm raging outside, gonna take tonight off… a new Severe Repair Universe will be coming next week!!

I’ve been doing Internet talk radio shows for nearly seven years now. From “The Overnightscape” to “The Rampler” to the current project, “The Overnightscape Underground”, I have released over 1,800 audio files, totalling over 65 days in length.

You can download the entirety of this in a new archive I created called “Frank Nora Archive” (“FNA” for short). There are 47 ZIP files you can download, totalling 15.5 GB. There is also a checklist you can print out to keep track of things.

The audio format for FNA is 24kbps, mono MP3. While “lo-fi”, I think it sounds pretty good – kind of like listening to an old AM radio. I may release everything in the “hi-fi” format at some point, but for now this is fine.

FNA is based on my previous “OnsugBox” project – but expands upon it. Additionally, I will be adding each new month to FNA as I finish them.

If you use Firefox, you can install the free add-on “DownloadThemAll” to make it easier to download all 47 files. Or, of course, you can download them individually.

Enjoy the archive! There are many undiscovered audio treasures within!!

Here is a PDF Overview of my current Internet Radio Archives.

I’ve been sick with a bad cold/flu/sinus infection/whatever since last week, and my voice is shot. Also, it’s been incredibly cold lately here in the NJ/NYC area. So I haven’t been doing any recordings… hopefully next week I’ll be better and can start recording again.

Mike Jittlov, creator and star of The Wizard of Speed and Time (and many other wonderful things), released a set of fonts and dingbats for the Apple Macintosh back in 1996. Included with the fonts were six amazing read me files which were composed using the fonts. I’ve always been amazed at these files… but unfortunately, you need Mac OS 9 to see them properly. So, I decided to take screen shots of all the files and stitch them together into one huge PNG file (628 x 23652 pixels) – which should be easily viewable in any current web browser.

I sent this to Mr. Jittlov himself, and he posted them (split back into six files), along with the original font download here.

Watch a demo reel of his animation here.
