Living at Homewoods on the Willamette

 Another Typecast artificial intelligence project, creating an audio play from the textual script.  The first short scene of a longer work, about a history professor who drops out to spend the remainder of her life emulating the musicians on the Titanic. Looked like it was going to open in Santa Fe until covid hit. Gathering dust ever since. Now it's getting new life.

Produced from a playscript with Typecast Artificial Intelligence (using characters Ron, Jack, Emma). Website at typecast.ai Snoops (8 minutes) https://youtu.be/xyNRt6f95DM?si=xCBBdJFguXX9J5CE Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com

 The publication of this short story as the cover story in the Oregonian's Sunday supplement happened during "my high 1980s" as a Portland writer. Not only was the story featured, with cool cover art, but the same issue contained a rave review of Cocktail Suite, the first hyperdrama I had produced myself. My previous two hyperdramas had been commissioned, and I was eager to have more control over the outcome. The story itself was the result of spending lots of time in Joseph near Wallowa Lake. Quite miraculously, the public television version of my play Christmas at the Juniper Tavern had brought me many fans in Wallowa county, including an anonymous patron who let me use his lakeside cabin rent free for a month every Spring. Joseph almost became a second home. After listening for many weeks to local storytelling (most often in taverns), I told a local story of my own. https://youtu.be/1uk_OZqMTmg Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com
