Listen up

It’s been a while.

Not because I am lacking in subjects on which to opine I hasten to add.

My first blogpost is also my explanation of my blogging silence. I have been totally blown away by the creativity and craftsmanship that went into the audio fiction created by Bryn, Denise, Simon and Ric on here.

One of the reasons that I started blogging on Aartan Away was to drive a bit more content on to this site and to remind people of the incredible work that had gone into the podcasts and audio recordings on here. The relaunch of the Aartan Legacy and its content didn’t need anything interfering with that product – it stands on its own in all its excellence.

I just want to laud the creativity and ambition that has brought that product together. The people involved have written, acted, edited, sought out sound effects, crafted outfits for stills images that reflect their characters. They’ve discussed, debated, fine-tuned, and whirled ideas around to produce the most amazing packages of work. And that deserves space for admiration.

I know that they have enjoyed the challenges of putting it together, but there have been complex tasks and heavy demands on their time. So thank you for doing this for all of us.
