Fireside Chat: Sound and Music Talkback Extravaganza: The Sound and the Fury: Music is All Around Us Volume 1

I can't articulate why, but Erika yelling "FUGUES!!!" with just the most *palpable* exasperation in their voice took me the fuck out

Drew Faber

As a native Michigander pls put some respect on our pleasant peninsula… even if we are lowkey the Florida of the midwest

ella thompson

omg my dad played jonathan richman a lot for me as a kid i can totally see that

Kayla Dennis

As someone who played a few instruments growing up and truly missing being in a symphonic band I truly appreciate the hard work. I have been obsessed with the sound design. It also just makes me want to pull out my clarinet and play again and find a way to get back into playing

Thank you, Taylor, for all of your fantastic work. Truly makes me cry at how well your music brings out the emotions in each scene. 💙💜💙💜

Beomene

Can we use some pieces of your music for our fanart to WBN, Taylor?

Melanie

I'm with Taylor. If you must perceive me, do it in fear.

Theo Lee

I was promised psychological destruction. *witch cackles intensify*

This was a great peek behind the technical curtain. As a person with serious focus issues and a little bit of a processing delay, I can't usually follow podcasts at all, except scripted audio dramas, and even that's hard. This is only the second actual play podcast that sidesteps that inability for me, and that's 100% owing to the perfect marriage of powerful storytelling/play at the table with tight and skillful editing and sound design. As curious as I am about some of the planning, trimming that and all but the best table talk is what helps keep me immersed enough that my spacey brain won't wander off. This is definitely my favorite podcast, and it would be entirely inaccessible to my particular brand of ADHD brain if it weren't for Taylor's skills and choices.

Jacob Muratore

Are there any plans in the future to collaborate with orchestral musicians for live recording (so Taylor doesn’t have to be an entire orchestra)?

The last piece of music that Taylor didn't write,,, am i hearing Auld Lang Syne in episode 13 at 1:09:35?

The delicious chaos that pops out in the last 2mins, cover Suvi’s eyes

Doctor Quixote

Taylor coming to you live from the in-house organ in a silent film theatre.

Worlds Beyond Number

Shouldve included Emmylou Harris in there, for sure. -t

Stef

You’re the perfect sunflower, bails.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

This is in-credible. The literal black panther growl as part of the Stranger's voice?!!? As for who should cover The Rain Road, I think it should be an older woman, as in the story. Given the style of the music, I think Jean Ritchie would be perfect. Anybody have a Resurrect spell handy?

bails

i’m re-listening to this and feel compelled to impart a more genuine comment to Taylor: 🫵🏻 you’re telling me the Sir Curran scene that makes me sob my actual eyes out and, as a result, every time i hear the music used again i become teary-eyed, was PLAYED LIVE???!? you’re off your absolute gourd. you utter madman. you perfect sunflower. 😤🌻

Give me the silence, umms, paper crinkling, catchphrases (interesngs), occasionally broken up by dropped dice and math in an anti-fireside bonus episode.

Music the Reckoning is my favorite World of Darkness spat
