They call it art. I call it a disgrace. The galleries are filled with mockeries—sloppy strokes, lifeless shapes, empty ideas. They hang these abominations on sacred walls, insult the masters, and sell our heritage for profit. Someone had to take a stand, and that someone is me. With a boxcutter in hand and a fire in my heart, I am cleansing the gallery of its pretenders. Their hollow canvases bleed, their façades crumble, and the true meaning of artistry is restored. They’ll call me a monster, a vandal, but I know the truth. I am a savior of beauty, a herald of tradition. This is my confession, my mission, and my masterpiece. ~ I have no idea how to write a poem, but I didn't know how to paint or rig practical effects either and that didn't stop me. The painting in question, titled "I'm sorry to hear about your accident" now hangs in my bedroom, exposed insides and all. ~Credits~ ~Cast~ Disgraced Painter - Seth Sturgill https://linktr.ee/twodollarhero ~Music~ Original Score - Aybars Savat ~Crew~ Written - Alec Preissler Album Art - Alec Preissler Audio Editing - Alec Preissler

A reoccurring thunderstorm serves as a painful reminder of David's history. Throughout his years, he has only found himself growing more haunted - and even hunted - by past mistakes. Running out of time, David plans to confess to his crimes and accept whatever punishment is deemed just - before it's too late. ~ I am a little unsatisfied with the dynamic range on this audio, but still overall it's probably the best sounding thing I've ever made. I especially love how the cigarette sounds when wearing headphones, and of course who can resist the sound of heavy rain on a hard roof. ~Credits~ ~Cast~ Operator/Secretary - Stephen Thompson https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Y6wtfns25E3bDiNLNGxKw https://twitter.com/CallMeBiceps David Vandermeer - Plain Yogurt https://twitter.com/PlainY0gurt https://www.castingcall.club/plainyogurt Detective Phillips - ItsMeTera https://www.castingcall.club/ItsMeTera ~Music~ Original Score - Aybars Savat ~Crew~ Written - Alec Preissler Album Art - Alec Preissler Audio Editing - Alec Preissler

In an increasing bleak and stressful world, entertainment works as an easily accessible escape from reality. Unfortunately for Howard, in order to find reprieve he'll have to face his biggest challenge yet.  ~  This Radio play is alright I suppose. The stories are always so much better in my head, oh well.    Credits:  Narrator - Michael Robinson ([email protected])  Howard - Kaiden Griffiths   Ticket Clerk - Carlie Dejesus   Concession Worker - Isabele Savage  Additional Voices - Alec Preissler, Andy Scheier, Carlie Dejesus, Isabele Savage, Jacob Prentice, Jake Sturkenboom  Written by: Alec Preissler  Audio Editing: Alec Preissler  Album Art: Alec Preissler

This OST was created by Spencer Barret for the Audiobook "A Review of Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)" You can find him @spantar on Instagram

Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) is the newest release in the longtime beloved Microsoft Flight Simulator Franchise. This 2020 release, brought to life by developer Asobo Studio, is by far the most technologically advanced and sophisticated game in the series. An immersive experience that can take over simulation fans, and aviation enthusiasts, and even casual gamers. Listen to my full review to hear my experience with this ambitious title.  ~  I thought "The Machine Made Paperclips" couldn't be topped, but It seems I was mistaken. I think the added soundtrack that comes with my audiobooks (thanks again to @spantar) really sells the story. Or maybe I just like having something to cover up my shabby audio editing.   Credits:  Narrator: Bennett Taylor  Written by: Alec Preissler Audio Editing: Alec Preissler  Album Art: Alec Preissler Music: Spencer Barrett (@spantar on Instagram)

Paperclips are an important, yet underappreciated tool of the modern workforce. With eleven billion paperclips manufactured yearly, ensuring their construction operates smoothly is a monumental task. But what happens when technical innovation surpasses regulation, and software is given total control?    ~    I've always been a huge fan of the game "Universal Paperclips" so I figured an adaptation would be a fun project. This project turned out way better than I thought it would. Not only did Blake Anthony killed it with the narration, but I managed to rope my friend Spencer into creating an original score for the project. Everything fits together perfectly, I doubt I'll be surpassing this level of quality for some time.          ~Credits~ Narrator: Blake Anthony   Written by: Alec Preissler  Audio Editing: Alec Preissler  Album Art: Alec Preissler  Music: Spencer Barrett
