'This is Noor. The world ended. Welcome to The Bird Roads'

The Bird Roads is a new audio drama miniseries written by Ella Watts with sound design and music from Amber Devereux.

It features Ferah Ahmet as Noor, a pilot desperately flying across the drowned world in search of her lost lovers, Finn and Aster.

It's a story about love, planes and holding on to each other when things fall apart.

This series is very special to us as it has been entirely funded by our listeners through Bandcamp sales, Twitch subscriptions, and Ko-Fi memberships. If you've ever bought something from us, you helped us make this. Thank you.

You can subscribe to The Bird Roads wherever you get your podcasts here: https://pod.link/6797815981 Or you can pre-order the album version on Bandcamp, which will release alongside episode 1: https://tincanaudio.bandcamp.com/album/the-bird-roads-complete-series And if you want to see us debut the series with a live performance of the first three episodes (they're really short) by Ferah Ahmet, you can come see us at London Podcast Festival alongside a special live performance of the first episode of our beloved Camlann: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/podcast/camlann-an-audio-drama-2/

It's our final day in the studio here at Tin Can Audio. Thank you for listening to The Tower this year, and for being here for the final part of the series.

We have one last release for you before we sign off for 2025. The soundtrack to The Tower Finale is now available to buy on the Tin Can Audio Bandcamp page. It features some of my favourite work on the series, bringing together all the motifs of the past 6 years.

The Tower Finale Complete Score is now available to listen and purchase on Bandcamp. But before we fully sign off, we want to tell you about a show we've been really enjoying here at TCHQ.

catskull is a new audio drama thriller from Andas Productions, the team behind the incredible Temujin and the DC High Volume Batman series. It is an adaptation of the award winning novel by Myle Yan Tay, catskull is a brilliant atmospheric neo-noir story that explores the violence simmering beneath an unforgiving city, with beautiful, immersive sound design bringing modern day Singapore to life.

I really love this series, it's single narrator without really being a single narrator audio drama, and it very slowly and calmly draws you in with it's quiet brutality. It's an incredible example of what audio drama can be, created by one of the best production teams in the world right now.

When we were making Land's End earlier this year and were grappling with the intricacies of a kissing scene in an audio drama, Andas Productions' work on Temujin was our high watermark on how to do intimacy in audio form.

catskull is available now wherever you get your podcasts, at time of recording there are 8 episodes out, so plenty to get your teeth into. Stick around after this to hear the very first episode.

Thank you for listening to The Tower, and for coming with us on this journey.

Happy holidays

The first episode, Summit, will release on Monday 24th November at 8pm GMT, and follows Kiri as she finally reaches the top of The Tower.

The second episode, Farewell, will release on Wednesday 26th November at 8pm GMT, and follows everything that happens after.

On both release days, we will be holding a special listen along stream on the Tin Can Audio Twitch channel with the cast and crew, as the episode goes live at 8pm GMT.

We hope you can join us for the final part of Kiri's journey

See you there

On the 31st August 2023 Amber performed a brand new audio piece about The Tower in Glasgow supporting The Wind podcast as part of their world tour. This is a recording of their set.

This is just a quick announcement to say that the soundtrack for Part 3 of The Tower is now available to pre-order from the Tin Can Audio Bandcamp page.

If you pre-order the album you'll get my favourite track on the album, 'These Lifeless Things' right away, that's the track playing behind me.

The full album will be released on Bandcamp and on most streaming services on May 21st. I've put a pre-save link in the shownotes.

The score for Part 3 was some of the most challenging, but also some of the most rewarding, music I've ever had the pleasure of making. It ties together a lot of musical themes and threads from Part 1 & 2 while also introducing some of its own sounds and motifs.

It also has a lot of very, very tasty synth textures and we played around with a lot of tape effects with this soundtrack. I'm very proud of it, I think it's some of the best music from the series.

Thank to everyone who has listened and continues to listen to this series and its soundtrack. I can't quite believe we've made it this far!

We are in the process of figuring out the final part of the series. I don't really have any news other than that but I thought it was important to let you know that there is going to be another part.

That will hopefully be appearing sooner rather than later but, in the meantime, please enjoy the rest of this track and thank you so much for listening, and thank you so much for being here.
