Wonderful job by the cast members, and special mention to Michael for coming up with Terry’s dialogue. Another big thanks to the generous people around the world who contribute their field recordings, music and especially Katrina Joyner for the fabulous new artwork which help us get onto the podcast sites and generally look awesome. (Very morale boosting when my computer says no …)
Spoiler Alert
Adam’s version of cyber people – a Terminator style idea – it can wear a fleshy exterior and move quietly enough to sneak up on people when they want to.
I had something like this more in mind aurally – very cadavery, if you want a scare.
but steampunk noises didn’t quite work with the space field recordings so those classic cyberman stomps stayed. Ours are like super nanny. Precise and brook no opposition. They are vocally more perfect than humans to match their incorruptible bodies – it’s an idealised voice from a state of the art text to speech engine – there was an actual human in it long ago, the name is buried in the metadata and appears on our cast list. The robot with heart – Izzy is acted by Amber Rack, logically – the cybers would approve.

SFX
There are some marvellous Tasmanian field recordings – i couldn’t not use the radio telescope, and another original coagula image synth generated SFX for the Cyber reveal.
