First Transmission

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:04:20 +0000

Here’s the secret project we’ve been working on for a while.

Paul Bates, Lees Smart and Nug Nahrgang are Illusionoid. After winning the Globehead tournament at the Bad Dog Theatre, they decided that improvising together was fun… especially when the content is sci-fi-based. So, they improvised in front of a microphone in the style of old time radio, going back to add in sound effects and music after the fact. No other editing takes place.

Enjoy the first of what we hope will be many episodes of ILLUSIONOID.
