Straight out of my head and onto the page - a creation in homage to David Lynch. An audio play which riffs on an antiquated televisual memory from childhood. Three preposterous stories of seduction in three very different genres.   Read the script on substack and listen to the audio play with the voiceover option. https://open.substack.com/pub/nictreadwell/p/sirens-of-suburbia?r=1eh0xb&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false   Credits: The Sirens Of Suburbia was written, conceived and produced by Nic Treadwell with the assistance of Eleven Labs.io and freesound.org.

In this podcast I explore what was my best childhood Christmas ever. In 1984 I received a ZX Spectrum from father Christmas and my whole world changed forever. Some 40 years later, with those gaming days firmly behind me I've had the chance to go back and relive those days once again. But this time from the perspective of a world weary member of the human race. What has changed and what hasn't? What is the advantage for re-engaging in childhood play? And can I even play some of those old games?

As a child, Danny Gildhurst didn't fit in.  Coping with the scorn and ridicule of rival Jason Parker and the tragic death of his brother Davy, his memories have become shattered pieces of a puzzle that can not be trusted. As he attempts to fix what is broken he is forced to reexamine his actions, and relationship with both Davy and Jason.   ----------------------------------------------------   In this episode of Homegrown I have using voice chaning technology to enhance my audio narration and being out the characters.   Credits   Danny Gildhurst Remembers was written and narrated by Nic Treadwell Additional voices sourced from Eleven labs   https://elevenlabs.io/   Sound FX sourced from Freesound.org   Music sourced from Free Music Archive https://freemusicarchive.org   Included:   Drone Lemon by Blue Dot Sessions  https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blue_Dot_Sessions/The_Bulwark/Drone_Lemon/ Licenced under Attribution Non Commercial    Run by Philip Weigl https://freemusicarchive.org/music/philipp-weigl/piano-and-strings/run-5/ Licenced under Attribution International    A Mystical Incantation by Peter Rudenko  https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Peter_Rudenko/microtonal-piano-study/a-mystical-incantation-31-edo/ Licenced under Attribution International    Post Drone by Uuriter  https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Uuriter/Analog_Fields_1913/10_-_Uuriter_-_Post_Drone/ Licensed under Attribution
