<![CDATA[The Dunshelm Players: Sidriss The Confused &...]]>On November 4th, a new 15-minute sketch will be released, called Sidriss The Confused & The Chamber Of Secrets. Written by Jake Collins, and starring himself and his sister Rosey, it reveals that Hordriss the Confuser has been leading a startling double-life.

LOL!! The Sidriss sketches are so funny (and I don't even like Harry Potter).

http://dunshelmplayers.wordpress.com/comedies/sidriss-the-confused-the-goblet-of-tabasco/

Improv'd by Jake and Rosey, this is probably the last in the series of Sidriss-and-Hordriss-write-for-Harry-Potter sketches. Apologies that this one isn't in stereo, it was just a bit too awkward to split into tracks, for technical reasons.

Happy New Year, to absolutely every single member of the KM forums!!!!

Except you. 😛

On New Year's Day we'll be releasing another of the Adventures Of Sidriss The Confused. This one will be called, Sidriss The Confused & The Goblet Of Tabasco, and is another improv from Jake and Rosey Collins. For complicated reasons, it won't be in proper stereo, but it's one step nearer to completing our (admittedly half-hearted) aim of having a sketch for each of the Harry Potter books.

In between my uni commitments, general inexperience with Audacity and barely functioning laptop, it's no wonder I wasn't able to make good on putting it together. Massive props to Martin for bringing another fun audio play to life, hope everyone enjoys it.

http://dunshelmplayers.wordpress.com/comedies/sidriss-the-confused-and-the-philosophers-sojourn/

Many thanks to Jake, Rosey, Helen and Ricky for their fine performances and helpful feedback. Nods of acknowledgement too for Andy "Dark Comet" Marshall for a brave first attempt at mixing an audio play. It didn't work out, but on reflection, even as a sketch it was a very awkward play to mix when you're completely new to the field; six characters, all in one scene lasting eighteen minutes, are very difficult to organise even with practice.

Also a nod of thanks to Adam Hall for the original Sir Hugh recordings, which sadly had to be abandoned due to technical problems. Again, if it was a failure, it was an honourable failure.

Look out for the third Yes, Dungeon Master outing coming up over the Xmas holidays.

It's tentatively being called a sketch, but in fact it's proven a fair bit longer than I'd realised when I was writing the script. At eighteen minutes-plus, it's almost long enough to count as a play. Almost.

Launch will be announced when it's available.

Friday's the fifth anniversary of the launch of Famous For Retreating so I guess it's fitting there should be some kind of new material made available.

So if you nip over to http://dunshelmplayers.wordpress.com/comedies/sidriss-the-confused-the-merchandising-deal-of-azkaban/ you can at last download Jake and Rosey's sketch in its completed form. And yes, that includes a long overdue title; Sidriss The Confused & The Merchandising Deal Of Azkaban.

This is not the The Philosopher's Sojourn, that's still pencilled in for December. Instead, this is the untitled one that Jake released in raw form on Mediafire before Christmas last year. I've finally got around to mixing it, including editing out some minor errors, turning the track into stereo, and adding some music and sound effects. Nothing elaborate still, but a bit of polish. Expect to see it available for download before Friday.

The Dunshelm Players will also be releasing a new sketch in the Yes, Dungeon Master series at Christmas. More details soon.

I remember there was an issue with my lines and Rosey's lines being in .wma format, because that's all our new(ish) computer makes, but I've just found out how to convert them to .wavs or .mp3s, so would it help (after Andy gets back) if I re-sent our lines in either of those forms? Or is that completely irrelevant?

I do have a copy of TPJ (or at least, I have one on my laptop, but that's currently away getting repaired), but unfortunately it's proven to be unusable - a lot of the lines are inaudible, the sound balance is a bit skewed, and there's no stereo on it. I should be able to send you a copy of it if you like, but we certainly can't release it as the final version.

A re-mix is in the pipeline, but I don't have access to the source recordings, so I can't take over the mixing work. We'll have to wait until Andy M gets back, but yes, it will be available eventually.

I know Andy's disappeared off to the Far East for the foreseeable future, but doesn't Martin have a copy of The Philosopher's Sojourn to upload - it has previously been reported as being finished and ready. We're curious to hear this, as we bothered to record a load of lines for it... are we actually going to?

Are we going to get to hear this long-awaited play soon?

Meantime, Andy Marshall has finished mixing the other sketch, and that should be released over the next couple of days.

You can download the shamless mucking-about session from here http://www.mediafire.com/?sucluglfht547gk and if anyone feels like linking to it from or uploading it to the Dunshelm Players site, we will, of course, be very pleased.
