Available Now - The Tower Part III Original Score
Thu, 18 May 2023 09:58:40 +0000
Bandcamp: https://bit.ly/435wzAp
Spotify: https://bit.ly/45oXfyn
This is just a quick announcement to say that the soundtrack for Part 3 of The Tower is now available to pre-order from the Tin Can Audio Bandcamp page.
If you pre-order the album you'll get my favourite track on the album, 'These Lifeless Things' right away, that's the track playing behind me.
The full album will be released on Bandcamp and on most streaming services on May 21st. I've put a pre-save link in the shownotes.
The score for Part 3 was some of the most challenging, but also some of the most rewarding, music I've ever had the pleasure of making. It ties together a lot of musical themes and threads from Part 1 & 2 while also introducing some of its own sounds and motifs.
It also has a lot of very, very tasty synth textures and we played around with a lot of tape effects with this soundtrack. I'm very proud of it, I think it's some of the best music from the series.
Thank to everyone who has listened and continues to listen to this series and its soundtrack. I can't quite believe we've made it this far!
We are in the process of figuring out the final part of the series. I don't really have any news other than that but I thought it was important to let you know that there is going to be another part.
That will hopefully be appearing sooner rather than later but, in the meantime, please enjoy the rest of this track and thank you so much for listening, and thank you so much for being here.

Chill Beats To Climb Impossible Towers To - Full Mix

Buy the EP: tincanaudio.bandcamp.com/album/chill-beats-to-climb-impossible-towers-to-ep
Support The Tower on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/tincanaudio
A collection of lo-fi remixes of some of the music from The Tower. This special mix also incorporates additional sound design from the series to create an immersive listening experience.
This started out as a joke on the Tin Can Audio Patreon Discord and then, during a week I was recovering from the flu, I started playing around with some of the music and found that it actually wasn't the worst idea.
This was a lot of fun to put together, and I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Performed by Katrina Allen
With live music and introduction by David Devereux
In January, Middle:Below had its first live show. At the beginning of the second half, we decided to perform a special little preview of The Tower.
The series, the monologue and even the music have all evolved since this performance (David says it's a five part series, now it's seven), but it's a nice little preview of the show.
The Tower releases September 2019, for more info visit tincanaudio.co.uk/thetower
