It's complete and available for purchase:Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: The Dunwich Horror brings Lovecraft's tale to life as it might have been adapted for radio during his lifetime. In the style of The War of the Worlds,The Shadow and our own At the Mountains of Madness, Dark Adventure Radio Theatre dramatizes HPL's story with a huge cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and thrilling original music by Troy Sterling Nies (composer for The Call of Cthulhu). Relive the excitement of 1930s radio with one of the most popular tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: The Dunwich Horror.
In addition to the full 75 minute radio drama on CD, you'll get these beautifully made props from the story to enhance your listening experience:
• A clipping from a 1917 copy of the Arkham Advertiserdescribing the Whateley family and the strangeness of the Dunwich region
• A vintage map of Dunwich, Sentinel Hill and the surrounding region
• A page from Wilbur Whateley's diary with its bizarre occult cypher
• A replica of a key page from the Whateleys' copy of John Dee's Necronomicon
And of course it's beautifully produced and packaged with the same deranged attention to detail that you'll find in other HPLHS products.

I just received word that 'The Call of Cthulhu' will be screened at the March 4th-8th Fargo Film Festival, in Fargo, North Dakota. The festival is held at the historic Fargo Theatre. I will be attending the festival and look forward to meeting filmmakers and all involved! Pictures will be posted after I return.
Music composed by Troy Sterling Nies - performed by members of the Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra.
officially taken a huge step closer to the 'darkside' that is Mac. I purchased a MacBook Pro 17' and am now running Digital Performer 5.12. This will be a nice addition to the PC setup I currently run (Sonar Pro 5). Instrument and sound libraries will include the same libraries I have been using (East West, Native Instruments, etc.). bul will soon include the MOTU Symphonic plugins soon as well.
raft' is in full swing - scoring is going well as I continue to work with Todd Hartman and David Hohl. The score, so far, can be described as a combination of organic instrumentation and electronic sounds - certainly stuff to send a chill up the spine. Check back for more updates and clips soon.
On Sept. 29, 2007 The Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Performed excerpts from the film score, 'The Call of Cthulhu' by Troy Sterling Nies. The concert was a great success, nearly selling out. Still-shots from the film, 'The Call of Cthulhu' were projected while the orchestra performed. A link to the performance will be posted soon.
