All Praise the Ikon
May the Ikon bless the Federated Harmony.
Six months after the disgraced Chairman returns, seizes power, and occupies the City-- divergent plots of resistance converge in perilous ways as subversives seek to nullify the new government’s authoritarian Algorithm, the ubiquitous computer program said to obey the sacred Ikon.
An eight episode mythpunk audio drama mini-series currently in production.
Mixing cyberpunk and myth, this story addresses book-banning, the climate crisis, and the cult of a demagogue... in a City beneath a starless sky. Some characters comply in advance. Others do not.
I've been working remotely with a wonderful group of actors (listed below), as well as creating the sound design, and I have more characters to cast and scenes to build. The first five episodes are in various states of completion. I'm also working on an interactive map of the City as an explorable compendium to the audio drama.
You can help this independent production via a Ko-Fi donation or follow / support on Patreon where you can hear the first two scenes.
Written and Produced by William J. Meyer • Starring Boyd Barrett • Christa Burton • Christopher Colón • Sarah Golding • Erin B. Lillis • Sivan Raz • Fiona Thraille • and more to be cast...
While working on All Praise the Ikon I stumbled upon the above method of creating a simple hologram voice effect.
