CARBON 96 FM

CARBON 96 FM

Project Overview

CARBON 96 FM is a original cyberpunk audio drama about two burnouts: Jimmy Slick, a failed star suffering from arrested development, and Eris, a disgraced reporter being used as controlled opposition. Forced through circumstance to host the midnight slot at a dead end radio station. They give nightly reports on the news of their world, interview the dangerous and deranged, and shill-shill-shill their hearts out as they somehow try to keep from killing one another.

  • Imagine a dartboard.

    You're in a billiard hall, or just a pub. People are scarfing down greasy, fried food while they drink lite beer, putting them away. There's an old, dim TV up high in one of the corners, the logos of different channels and the scores from a variety of sports are burned into the display. It's cheap, it's bad for you, but you can count on people showing up every night. Why? Who really knows. Perhaps it's just a place to be, a rhythm, anthropologists call it "ritual" (gagging all the while).

    But on a wall somewhere is a dart board. It's outlived people, generations, whole countries even. One wonders if the dartboard was there first or the building, perhaps they came together, like twins or Bonnie and Clyde. Either way, no one knows and that dartboard will sure as the sun rises outlast you. Yet in this board, you can see the age. Countless little stipples, dimples jabbed into its face by novices, journeymen, and masters. The drunken buffoon, the boy trying to impress some beau, the sleeper who is there to hustle. All of them have made their mark; and to do that... you just need throw that dart.

    A simple thing in practice, after all, you just need to throw one but ask someone to ascertain the skill of the marksmen who threw the dart just using each of those little, teeny-tiny, craters from the legion of ghosts past, present, and future? Ah. Not so simple.

    And so, you've put us in a similar situation. Between the CCC auditions, and the direct submissions there was a total of 632 people who lined up to throw a dart that board, hoping to hit the bullseye for either Eris or Jimmy. Perhaps you might have, but that doesn't mean you're the only one to do it. Which brings us to this little conundrum. We need 2 percussion specialists, and two only, but decisions, decisions.

    That is why we're telling you now that the initial estimate of 7 days will not hold. We had hoped it would, but between the volume here, and the volume with Melpomene for SILICON LABYRINTH (Obligatory shilling) well... that's not going to work.

    Consider this a notice slipped under your door about how the postman missed you, or an SMS sent to your phone about that package you ordered being delayed. We promise, oh, we do. That we're working through all your lovely submissions, but it's going to take until late next week we surmise. Keep an eye out. We'll slip in through the cracks like before, tap you on the shoulder, and start yammering. We promise! Just not quite yet.

  • The sun sets low...

    And the curtains close.

    Which is a pretentious way of saying that this casting call for these two roles shall close tonight. No further auditions for them shall be accepted after midnight EDT.

    We will go through a selection process to shortlist, contact, and discuss the roles a bit more with those we narrow this absolutely glorious pile of auditions you've all sent in (kudos, really) for us to review. And then we'll make our selection.

    Keep your eyes open. Here, there, everywhere you think we might slink out of some digital backdoor to tap you on the shoulder and yammer at you about things you almost certainly don't care about (it is just a job after all). But we do, oh-ho-ho, we do.

    If you end up being one of the unfortunate sacks who we solicit for a digital sit-down, prepare yourselves. You might have second thoughts once you realize you've accidentally volunteered to have an extraordinarily loud, self-aggrandizing blowhard mutter about "the system" in your ear for what the kids in this digital haze might simply put as, "This could have been an email."

    And that's where you're wrong. See the length of this alone? Yeah. Brevity isn't in our vocab. We'll want you in, and we'll want you to talk long, and loud, and passionate like we do. You're being handed a megaphone for a weapon after all.

    Remember, midnight, all sales are final.

    Ta,

  • Silicon Labyrinth - Lead Voice Actress Needed

    Switch on, drones, and shake off that rust.

    Silicon Labyrinth (one of the sister projects to Carbon 96 FM) has booted and launched its first casting call: a lead role for Melpomene. Mel's a dangerous, enigmatic goddess, displaced from her time, people, and pantheon. (Cyberpunk? Goddesses? How do you fit that three-pronged plug in a two-plug outlet? Give the RAM time to train, swicks, you'll see.)

    Her role is open to anyone who fits the voice requirements. Find out more about Silicon Labyrinth, who Mel is, and just how many chits you'll get paid if you manage to flatten the competition with an knock out audition. And even if you don't think you fit the role? Fascinate us with your demo if ya got the tape.

    For the rest of the patient drones out there? Keep ya eyes open. Roles and projects will ignite on our website (...oh, it's coming) with all the fury of a Skydancer atomizing a lunar colony.

    If you feel you've got the teeth, slot in a shard to our drive: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/silicon-labyrinth

    Until next time... Stay lethal.
