Palimpsest Productions specializes in audio drama and live audio events, with occasional forays into film and immersive theater.

“Palimpsest is audio fiction’s best foray into the Gothic.”
--Wil Williams, Wil Williams Reviews

“Palimpsest is perfect for those who like their horror with a little Shirley Jackson vibe.”
--Tor.com

“Palimpsest is a masterclass in atmosphere. I absolutely cried.”
--Elena Fernández-Collins, AudioDramatic

“Palimpsest [...] manages to create a slow burn of dread and sorrow over its episodes. Th

is is largely due to the tightly wrought storyline and Hayley Heninger's magnificent performance. A wonderful take on the classic ghost story genre."
--Paul Bae, The Black Tapes, The Big Loop

“A spooky and melancholic and ultimately devastating tale, beautifully written.”
--Jacquelyn Landgraf, It Makes a Sound

“The story is poetic and searching, instantly friendly, quickly creepy, and totally addictive.”
--Asheville’s Mountain Xpress

Our final casting/crew announcement is the incredible Andrew Scotchie as the singing voice of Sean Underwood!

Born and raised in Asheville, Andrew Scotchie is everything rock-n-roll was meant to be: sweaty, soul-stirring, a little dangerous, and absolutely alive. With the fire of the Stones, the blues of Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the message of a punk-fueled preacher, Scotchie and his band have become a staple of the Southeast music scene. He’s shared stages with legends, crowd-surfed dive bars, and continues to craft his unique sound. His latest record, Love Is Enough, is a love letter to connection, chaos, and keeping your heart open in a world gone sideways

As we move into the recording stage of Highgate Wood, we have some final casting announcements to make. We are terribly excited to announce Amber Devereaux in the role of Rachel O’Rourke, Highgate Wood’s bass player and arranger.

Amber is an award-winning writer, musician and sound designer, primarily making noises as Tin Can Audio.

After starting out as a bass player in the 2010s music scene in Scotland, they eventually moved into the quieter world of sound design and music composition. They are the creator of the audio fiction concept album The Tower, and the producer of fantasy series Camlann. Amber has also made audio stories for BBC Radio 4’s Short Cuts and QueerAF for their Trans+ History Week initiative (most notably a documentary on Wendy Carlos and the history of trans electronic musicians). They’ve also made music for Doctor Who: Redacted, and currently edit and sound design for Sony’s This Is History with Dan Jones. They have also composed original music for the TTRPG games Upriver Downriver and Pitcrawler.

They spend most of their time surrounded by computers, synthesizers and tape machines to keep them warm during the long Glasgow winters.

Our Story

Palimpsest is a bi-weekly audio drama about memory, identity, and the things that haunt us.

Season One tells the story of Anneliese, who is still mourning the death, years earlier, of her sister Claire. The story is presented as Anneliese’s audio notes to her former therapist, working through her feelings about her sister. The recordings also begin to document the apparent hauntings in her new apartment, and Anneliese's possibly flawed memories of Claire. You can binge Season One now on your favorite podcatcher.

Season Two tells a different story, set in another place and time. Episode One drops Tuesday, September 4th, 2018. Palimpsest is written by Jamieson Ridenhour and performed by Hayley Heninger, with original music by Ian Ridenhour. Our logo was created by Megan Lee. Our project is fueled by our friends and Patrons.
