I’m always fascinated with how Audio Drama compares, contrasts and connects with other media. This fantastic piece on how silent movies sing when the original orchestral music is played in concert with the film. Music has a powerful effect on the way we take in stories. It’s fascinating that no matter whether you see your stories primarily, or take them in through the ear. Music can provide the mood that draws in the tension of a scene, or the comedy of a moment. Sharon Bee‘s incredible mood mixtures for The Dead Line Anthology and the Wavefront Anthology series has been instrumental in Electric Vicuna Production‘s tension. What music has added to your experience of audio drama?

From the minds of Jon Baker and the other good folks at Dick Dynamo comes “Dick Dynamo, the 5th Dimensional Music Experience”.
There are many types of modern audio drama companies out there. Many companies offer a variety of fair, and some precious few focus on one or two ideas to put all their efforts in a concept.
The good folks at Dick Dynamo are in the latter camp, and it shows. The episodes of Dick Dynamo are cleverly written, lovingly acted, and produced with such panache and style that you could set your watch to their accuracy.
In fact, the one complaint that could be made against Dick Dynamo, is that there’s simply not enough shows to sate the hunger for more!
Enter in Dick’s Musical Experience, that once again mirrors the affection the team has for this series. This fun album is filled with great beats, hilarious lyrics, and many more reasons for everyone to download and enjoy these tunes before they are no longer offered free and snatched up by some record label!
