On the 24th May 2016 I released the trailer for my first ever audio drama, a sci-fi story about being stranded in space called Tin Can, out into the world. It’s been 10 years since then, I’ve made a lot of audio drama, a lot of music, and a lot of things have changed. And to celebrate 10 years of Tin Can Audio, I want to make you a mixtape. Is there an episode of something we’ve made that you’d love to have a physical copy of? Do you have a playlist of Tin Can Audio music that you really like that you’d love on cassette? I have a bunch of blank cassette tapes, 30 minutes each side. When you buy one of these tapes from our Bandcamp page, write what you’d like in the comments box, and I’ll record it onto the tape. Any space left over I’ll fill with music and other goodies that I think go with what you’ve asked for. The only limitation is that we have 30 minutes each side, if you want something longer than 30 minutes, I’ll do some tweaking to make it work. We’ll be releasing these in very limited batches so if you miss out this time, check back later, we’ll have some more releasing very soon. I had no idea when I released my little experiment onto the internet that I’d end up here. Working in audio is now my full time job, and Tin Can Audio has grown from a slightly lost little egg in a cold flat in Glasgow into an award winning audio drama and music collective, though I’m still in a slightly cold flat in Glasgow, albeit a much nicer one. Thank you so much for 10 years of making audio drama and music and weird sounds. Here’s to the next 10.
