Narrative and Sound Project

Writes the Narrative and Sound Project:

I recently started a new web project [The Narrative and Sound Project], and your organization plays a very important part of it. The web project is about existing audiobooks and the idea of synthesizing them with music and sound. I have downloaded some of the audiobooks collection in your website and retouched them with music and sound. With the new collection, I have created a website solely for this purpose.

Here’s the web address of the project: http://www.thenarrativeandsoundproject.org/

Descant on LibriVox

Canadian literary/arts mag Descant has a great article on LibriVox, including this nice little para:

But “niche market” might be the wrong term for this site. It is not interested in creating a market. Nor is it interested in making a profit. There are no ads on the site and it proudly boasts a budget of $0. In short, it doesn’t pretend to be a place where commercial products are offered. The entire project … is built on a love of literature and a desire to get that literature out to others with similar inclinations. In fact, it is difficult to see how the
“business plan” could be converted into a money-making machine.

Also glad to see that the …chaotic … spirit with which we undertook Joyce’s Ulysses was grasped and appreciated!
