Producer: Neil Gardener
Freshly made in 2010 for BBC7.
5 epis. of app. 29 mins each.
Episode summaries witheld for spoilers.
Two trailers with production talk thrown in (there might have been others that I missed) - you should probably
NOT LISTEN to them in advance as they have a spoilerish quality to them- but then, that story sure is strong
enough to stand on its own - well, pentapods? Tentacles?
Amazon.co.uk Review:
One of the greatest short novels in American literature, and a key text in my own understanding of
what that literature can do. --Michael Chabon
Lovecraft' s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern --Clive Barker
Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish visions, H. P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and
dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror,
At the Mountains of Madness. The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an
Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries and their encounter with untold menace in the ruins of a
lost civilization is a milestone of macabre literature.
How this was worked:
Digitally recorded from the BBC Listen-Again files (rarely from the life stream) as .wav,
16bit-stereo, 44.100 samples, on HD with ancient Soundforge version.
Where applicable: cut to make pieces (preferably) no longer than 30 minutes in places where a cut makes sense,
to enable at least some handling of the files in the average player navbar.
Ends cleaned up, visually checked for stream interruptions; removed where found. Echoes and double-takes will have gone unnoticed
but are rare anyway.
1.7 secs of silence added on ends of each file to make room for ripper idiosyncrasies and bugs of the Windows Media Player.
Converted to mp3 with CDEx 1.40.
