Main Showcase

Jump right into the most recent text-based entertainment here!

August 9, 2009

Welcome to the central location for my own creative contributions to this thing we call the Internet…

Right now there are two formats I work with — text-based articles and audio recordings. At this time, I am quite heavy in the text department, but earlier today I was able to finally upload a few files to change the zero audio recordings to at least a few slivers of sound. So hopefully over the next few weeks, I’ll have the chance to better structure existing text while uploading even more brand new audio files and invite you to either bookmark this site or add it to your favorite RSS feeder for instant notification.

In the meantime, I thought I’d offer up one of the less controversial topics of 2009 for your sampling pleasure…taxes! If you don’t like what you hear, thank you for at least the chance to be heard by you and perhaps another time? And if you like what comes through your speakers, a link back to this blog (http://shadowwoman.wordpress.com) would be most appreciated and thank you for spending some time exploring The Exoteric Records of a Human Once Registered as Valerie Sarah Weiskirch.

May you have a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Day today!

Happy New Year Part III-1 and Part III-2*

Segment Title: The Lip Smacking of A Few Over the Proposition of Another Tax During Wartime

Audio length – 20 minutes 35 seconds – audio file is in .wav format

* This segment in its entire format was too large for uploaded and needed to be divided into two files for storage purposes.

Pre-Show Start-Up Update
August 26, 2009

Phew! What a task its been cleaning out old containers, breathing life into dusty materials and the depth and breadth of materials now online is quite an intimidating collection of effort…but ahhhh…what cool moments once the hundreds of little, itsy-bitsy decisions are made and the final product is staring back at me…especially with this new template format. Neat, clean, simple and readable (unless I write 35,000 words or more…but then that’s not the fault of the template designer!), I am on the last few global waves of updates before I can sit back and really start driving this show in the direction of audio first and blog materials as part of the supporting cast.

Along with the minor branding change from “Esoteric” to “Exoteric,” here are the logos for this 2009 effort:

I am still looking into a few technical-based issues I was facing last year when I reached this stage of the process, including the sampling of good phone recording software, so in the meantime I invite you either explore older pre-show start-up materials or check out one of the growing number of collections by The Exoteric Record. The overall roster of materials for The Exoteric Record has significantly grown since the days of The House That Caera Built For Caera Kirsch Designs and some oldies but goodies have found their way back from their banishment, such as The Exoteric Tavern (fiction, poetry, lyrics) and Vapors, Vamps & Vixens Via the Valatrax Segway. Although these collections are clickable links in the right-hand side bar, you can also click here to read a more detailed description of each effort.

In the meantime, its back to putting the finishing touches on this online persona for The 2009 Exoteric Record!
