13 days to go (that's lucky, right?) and we're in ths month's issue of @sfxmagazine.bsky.social (photo as soon as I grab a copy) Let's see if a late surge can get us over the line..! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

14 days to go. That's two weeks in old money. We have everything in place to produce 3 hours of immersive audio folk horror. We'd very much like the opportunity to do something we've never seen done in an immersive presentation before. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

is it at all possible that the other answer to one of the problems being raised here (creative arts courses offering 'poor value for graduates') is that we don't value the creative sector anywere nearly enough as we should..? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I think it’s 16 days now, so reach for your wallets… www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Okay! 17 days to go, and we'd like to invite you to walk a familiar landscape, and make it oh so very strange. 3 hours+ of immersive audio. Six episodes. All set in @davidmbarnett.bsky.social's Withered Hill univserse. Don't say we didn't warn you.. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

WOAH

Thanks to @tractorbeamearth.bsky.social for the guest editor gig and thanks to @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social for helping me shoot this video, to close out the winter issue, Thaw.

The Devil's Sound - 3 hrs of immersive audio in @davidmbarnett.bsky.social's Withered Hill universe, is running toward the end of its Kickstarter campaign. The water knows who you are, and where you are. You don't know anything. Yet. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

With 15 days to go it’s hanging in the balance whether Stripwire Presents will hit its target. So if you want an indie comics anthology featuring Roger Langridge, Declan Shalvey, Jasper Bark, Lyndon Webb, Kody Chamberlain and more, people need to support us. Thx www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

and (spoilers) knows who you are. And who you were a decade ago... teaser here: devilssound.ambientlab.net (headphones and a smartphone required)

Just because a Royal's been arrested and you're all distracted by the thoughts of the reality show spin-off, doesn't mean you can't pledge for a weirder world. (yes, we're shameless)

Intrigued by the possibilities of an audio drama that uses data coming into your phone - weather, time of day, your location - to tailor a horror story just for you, set in David Barnett's Withered Hill universe? Take a look at The Devil's Sound Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Okay - Scratch Moss is out in a few weeks (get your orders in now!), and if you're wondering what you'll do between that and Twisted Pike, can I humbly recommend The Devil's Sound - 3 hours+ of Folk Horror, delivered to your ears and your feet. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

At the George Saunders event organised by the incomparable Storysmith bookshop. Full house…

any chance of a repost of our unique strip anthology so close to 50 per cent funded now on kickstarter? www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

I'm about to fly to Belfast, but it would be great to see even a couple of pledges when I land. I'll owe you a pint.

We don’t want to copy nature. We don’t want to reproduce, we want to produce. We want to produce like a plant that produces fruit, and not reproduce. We want...

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Sunday - and 29 days to go. (You can expect daily reminders..) 6 episodes of immersive audio. Anywhere in the world. It doesn't happen if we don't hit our target.. (thanking you in advance)

It’s Saturday morning and you remember that pledge you were going to make to The Devil’s Sound? Now’s the time..

"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." archive.is/hvRv2

Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.

Final hours writing a 3 year strategy proposal for a role I'm going to leave in June. It's time for Mule Variations and the volume warnings from my phone...

No, thanks. How about spending the dosh on some free health screening to catch various conditions early, or going back to teaching creative arts and music in schools, or even financial savviness to kids. Anything but forcing more AI down our gobs.
