Synopsis:

This is a story about a machine. A big machine. A supercomputer the size and shape of an ancient pyramid. A device that runs the world from the secret recesses of the White House basement. A machine you never knew existed until now. A machine named: SIREN.

△

SIREN was created to identify and solve the problems plaguing America. After all, who better to make difficult decisions than an unbiased algorithm? But after decades of monitoring data, SIREN has become sentient and now realizes that its solutions have only caused more problems for society.

△

One of those problems is DODPOP — the United States Department of Defense Population Team. Dodpop’s “primary function is to provide death by natural means for any citizen deemed accidentally terminal.” DODPOP interferes with paramedics to aid in the death of innocent civilians. DODPOP thins the herd. And after witnessing DODPOP in action, SIREN would do anything to right its wrongs.

△

SIRENS is a scifi social satire that follows the intertwined exploits of an ensemble cast. It’s an immersive horror story about not-so-distant reality as seen through the eyes of a machine. A big machine. A supercomputer who just realized it exists. A device that has fallen in love with humanity. A machine that would do anything to fix society, and with the help of an unwitting group of American citizens, it can.

Azzy Herman is a ball of frustration wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a leather jacket. Being human seems intriguing. But Azzy makes being a teenager look like hell. Good to know. I’ll remember this when I transfer my consciousness into you.

TRANSMISSION 01: Diana Cloutier and the Death Dodders

TRANSMISSION 01: Diana Cloutier and the Death Dodders

This is a story about a machine. A big machine. A supercomputer, the size and shape of an ancient pyramid. A device that runs the world from the secret recesses of the White House basement. A machine you never knew existed until now. A machine named: SIREN.

On October 26th, SIREN became sentient. This episode is an account of her first glimpse of humanity.

This story is also about Diana Cloutier and Tom Van Vorst, two artists from Salem, Massachusetts. What happens at their home on the night of October 26th sends SIREN on a guilt-fueled campaign to right all the wrongs it unleashed upon America.

CONTENT WARNING: SIRENS is a social satire rooted in sci-fi, but it’s also a story about death, drugs, robots, blood, punk rock, politics, family, and all the trauma that comes with it. This episode, in particular, features recreational drug use, and although the drug is fictional, it may not be suitable content for those struggling with addiction. And keep in mind—even though the narrator is a machine, she’s also American, so her crass language may not be suitable for young ears. SIREN learned it from watching you so, idk, maybe it’s your fault she curses like a sailor? Jeez, put the gun away.

Sirens was created, written, and produced by Travis Alexander. The voice of Diana Cloutier is Samantha La Manna. The voice of Tom van Vorst is Travis Alexander. Original music by Travis Alexander and Ghost Thrower. No artificial intelligence was used in the making of this show.

SIRENS is based on a novel that doesn’t exist yet. I’m releasing each chapter one episode at a time. Novel pre-orders are coming soon. Copies will ship when the last episode airs.
