Episode 28 - Listener Feedback
So, one of the concepts at the inception of Catalogue of Ships was that it would be a forum for experimentation for both myself and David. We both had theories we wanted to explore with both narrative and sound. For my own part, I have gotten to try my hand at scoring things ind different styles: documentary, film score, algorhythmic, pseudo-classical, uh.. Christmas carol... and yes, a lot of loop-based composition.
And so, with Episode 28, we wanted to try our hand at a popular current form of audio-art, the traditional podcast.
I guess if you had wanted to listen to this, you would have listened to any of the thousands of podcasts that are already like this like my favorite guilty pleasure. So if you were offended, please excuse us and view it in the greater context of our overall commitment to experimentation.
It was not universally hated, but I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from our listeners (I'll keep them all anonymous).
"It said YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS and honestly I thought it meant that it was scary or gross or horrible or something - but no, I am probably just one of the people that are goingto write to say that I did not find it shockingly boring. I enjoyed it. It was kind of like having the curtain snatched away from the wizards - and I am amused by your modesty."
"Um ... er.... please don't do another podcast like episode 28 ever again. I can only imagine the amount of work that must go into putting together a podcast but you're only doing yourselves & your listeners a disservice by "winging it." I'd rather you just skip an episode if it means having to listen to another e28 again."
"I wanted to say, while this last episode was definitely boring, I also found it inspiring."..."I didn't mean that it was bad! Not at all! I definitely enjoyed listening to it. I mean, /2001 /is boring as hell, but that doesn't make it any less awesome."
"that was not more boring than Bounce (f.y.i. the costar was Gwyneth Paltrow). Maybe I have a skewed perception considering I was at such a high level of boredom right before listening to it - but it made, well, 40 minutes out of my day."
Keep them coming!!

I saw "Bounce" in the theatre (it was Thanksgiving and I was far from home... my only friend in town was a sensitive gay man... it seemed like it might be good because Don Roos directed it...) and it was DEFINITELY more boring than episode 28.
