A Million Quiet Revolutions by Robin Gow
Here is an excerpt from my first audiobook, recorded remotely at my home studio! This book is split between two voices - Oliver (me), and Aaron (Kaden Catalina), and is written in poetic prose. This is one of the most delightful projects I've ever worked on!
In addition to A Million Quiet Revolutions, please enjoy the audiobook narration samples below! These were recorded at the 2024 New Narrators workshop at Macmillan Audio in NYC!

TAKE 23:
The Gay, Unpolished, One-Take Album.
Hello, my sweet summer children!
And WELCOME!
Take 23 is, frankly, my baby. 3 years in the making, Take 23 is a collection of my original songs and spoken-word poetry with one set goal: to achieve an album's worth of recordings (in this case, 11 tracks + an intro) without splicing the best of multiple takes together (my usual practice, and industry standard).
While every song and poem you will hear has taken multiple (sometimes up to 30) takes to get right, each track is its own single-take masterpiece.
​
This album is UNPOLISHED. I am poor and gay, so this entire album (minus the final song, whose audio was extracted from a camera recording) was recorded in an empty church hall on an $80 microphone, with basically no audio editing/enhancing at all.
​
The echoes you will hear were recorded on-site, live, because of my location.
Sounds from nature (thunder, rain, cars passing by, etc.) were also all recorded on-site.
​
Do NOT listen with the expectation of perfection.
DO listen with the expectation of sincerity, vulnerability, and some bangin' original storytelling.
​
​
And thank you, everyone - for being a part of my story.
