Vertical Editing - A Tiny Essay Zine!

Behold! My first entry into the 2024 Fiction Podcast Zine Festival organised by @boombox-fuckboy. It's a tiny essay about the way I edit audio and why I think it leads to more immersive stories.

This was scribbled together really quickly just to see if I could do it.

[VERTICAL AUDIO EDITING - a tiny essay by AMBER DEVEREUX]

[Hi! My name is Amber...and I can't draw. BUT! What I can do is EDIT AUDIO. I often get asked how to make IMMERSIVE SOUND DESIGN in audio drama. Where dialogue and sound design blend together. THE ZESTY SECRET IS VERTICAL EDITING]

[See, the typical editing pipeline for audio is usually horizontal, like this: (a sketch of an audio project file with 3 tracks: 'Vocals' 'SFX' and 'Music' next to each track name is a long rectangle with a label for which kind of edit is which 'Dialogue Edit' for Vocals, 'Sound Edit' for SFX, 'Music Edit' for Music)

Each part is edited separately then put together at the end. Which means all the elements sit on top of each other. It's clean, yes, but is it IMMMERRRSIIVE? BEHOLD! VERTICAL EDITING!

(the same sketch of an audio project, except the rectangles have been chopped up into smaller pieces, some bits of the Vocals overlap with the SFX, some bits of the music overlap both Vocals and SFX. There are also vertical lines through the middle and end of the picture, denoting scenes)

Dialogue, SFX (and sometimes music) are all editing together at the same time. So all the elements interact with each other from the start: The dialogue becomes sound design!

The sound design becomes dialogue!]

[Of course, this approach isn't perfect:

if you're working in a big team, it's not always possible

edits take longer, with more notes per edit

it's also just a lot more work and creative responsibility (which, sometimes, is the last thing you want)

BUT it also allows you THE MOST HUMBLE AUDIO EDITOR To have more of a voice in the sound design, and it allows you most of all, to be AN ARTIST]

[THANKS FOR READING! This zine was made for the 2024 Fiction Podcast Zine Festival.

I had a lot of fun putting this together! I've definitely caught the bug and hopefully I'll make a couple more before the month is out.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story (ATLUS, 2003)

[irate-iguana]

Hello and please look at the Stratford Festival’s poster for Richard II. Because I am obsessed:

The play’s been adapted by the queer playwrite Brad Fraser, it’s set in late ’70s/early ’80s New York (aka disco era), and they’ve got a nonbinary actor playing Richard.

I swear I’m not hired by the Stratford Festival, I’m just really excited about this production. Here’s a link to their website, for those curious:

Edit: the Stratford Festival is in Stratford, Ontario. Sorry if I got anyone in England’s hopes up.

I'm honored to present my work for Pearl Jam's Dark Matter tour at the Cove Gallery at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California next weekend, with a series of rare photography prints to benefit the great Vitalogy Foundation. The photographs were taken by me on May 1st, 2024, during the only dress rehearsals for the tour, at an empty Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. They showcase my visual art on the tour’s 155-foot projection screen as it united with a full band performance for the very first time; the only time it would ever be seen (by just a handful of people) in the surreal setting of an empty arena, the lights and video reflecting off the surface of the open floor.

Limited signed/numbered framed metallic pearl fine art prints will be available exclusively through Cove Gallery from Thursday September 26 at 5 PM through Sunday September 29 at 11 PM. Whatever prints are not sold at the event will be made available online at a later date.

Additionally, video screens in the gallery will present extended looks at video art pieces I created for the tour for the first time ever. I’m excited to show more of the beauty I found on my journey through states of matter and the connective tissue of the universe.

I’ll share more info, including some times that I’ll be on-site to talk about the work, as we get closer to the event. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks again to everyone at Cove Gallery, Ohana, and Pearl Jam for creating this event, supporting great causes, and inviting me to be a part of it.

Lantern Festival (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Anri Minami (Konomi Naito) goofing around the miniature scale buildings display at Ultra Heroes EXPO (formerly known as Ultraman Festival) at the Sunshine City Mall in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

That display - basically a huge diorama with various Ultras and kaiju fighting it out - is one of my favorite parts of the event.

The bottom two pics were taken by me at the 2015 Ultraman Festival.

I had the chance to work on the character design of the short film IN THE HEAT !

[irate-iguana]

The Stratford Festival released their filmed version of Much Ado About Nothing! It's got additional text by Erin Shields — most notably, an added scene between Claudio and Hero in act 5 — and is just generally a fantastic production, I highly recommend watching it.

Here’s a link. (Their subscription service has a 7 day free trial.)
