Did Someone Mention Daleks Again?

Steve Foxon — 22 Nov 2009 01:42:02 GMT

So, since we last met, 'Paper Cuts', 'Kindness of Strangers' & 'Blood Will Tell' have all been released. And just when I thought it was safe to put the Daleks back in the shed, along comes 'Plague of the Daleks', the final story in the Stockbridge trilogy. Now completed and at the duplicators, it's due for release in December. Great fin to work on, what with Zombie's and Daleks!

I'm currently working on 'Point of Entry', one of the Lost Stories; about half way through reading it, and really enjoying it. Next few projects are already lined up also, but can't really say anything about those at the moment, but should be interesting.

I have FINALLY managed to update all of the releases I have worked on. So if you want to see all the Doctor Who plays I have worked, go here. There's also the additiona of the Stargate& Warhammeraudios.

LES PAUL 1915 - 2009

Steve Foxon — 13 Aug 2009 23:40:36 GMT

The man whose name adorns the headstock of the guitar I have devoted 20 years to has played his last riff. I had guitars that came and went, and then I had my 1978 Les Paul Standard, that came, and is still here. Featuring heavily in Enemy of the Daleks, she is still loved today. Innovator in the Solid Body Guitar, I couldn't have done it without him, I love my guitar, and it has inspired me all the way. There have been times when money was tight and I nearly sold the old girl, but am now glad that didn't happen!

RIP Les Paul

Edited to Add: I was inspired to a bit of self indulgence and recorded a Les Paul drenched piece of music. Check it out here.

The Return of Judge Joe Dredd!!!

Steve Foxon — 10 Aug 2009 23:09:12 GMT

"Enemy of the Daleks" seems to have gone down well, and there were some nice comments about themusic, which are much appreciated! By the way, if you haven't seen already, the music player to the rightof this page has an extract from the soundtrack.

Following the release of Enemy, I ploughed on with "Kindness of Strangers" which is now totally in the can and on it's way to the duplicators. Just had to put the finishing touches of the real Puddle Jumper sounds in, which sound great! You'll be able to pick it up very soon.

"Paper Cuts" is also complete, and now I've moved on to where it all started for me - Judge Dredd! You've gotta love him, especially Toby Longworth's rendition, which is spot on. I've just completed the dialogue edit for "Blood Will Tell" with a grin on my face, and am looking forward to adding those all familiar sounds of Mega-City One and dusting off the Law-giver. O

Judge Dredd is of course where I learnt my trade for Big Finish, way back starting with "War Planet". It is rather marvellous to be working on one again; it's been too long!

Finally, the moment (at least one person) has been waiting for! My contribution to the Nameless MOD soundtrack is available here to download at last. Just go to the TNM section on the right, download, and enjoy :)

More Daleks, More Stargate, More Warhammer, More Deus Ex!

Steve Foxon — 21 Apr 2009 20:48:20 GMT

So, "Enemy of the Daleks" is in the bag and due in June. It was a tough writing the music, but the results are excellent, and quite different from the norm!

I've also worked on another Warhammer title, this time a Warhammer 40,000 called "Heart of Rage" by the brilliant James Swallow. Very different to the last one, and very enjoyable to work on. By the way, check out the excellent cover.

More Stargate now with "Kindness of Strangers" featuring Paul McGillion as the wonderful Dr Carson Beckett. I'm about to read the script, so looking forward to seeing what it holds. I'm sure it will be top class, with Sharon gosling writing. It's not due until August, so you won't get to hear it for a while.

Finally, I'm then on to the September Doctor Who release "Paper Cuts", which breaks my run of Daleks!

On another front, the big new is the release The Nameless MOD! After 7 years it's finally hear. Sadly I have not found time to play it yet as I'm very busy. I'm looking forward to devoting a weekend end to it soon. Again, time has meant no music is available for you yet, but it will be coming. TNM are also going to be releasing a Soundtrack with a few of mine on it too - which may come first.

Happy Belated New Year

Steve Foxon — 11 Jan 2009 12:02:10 GMT

Happy New Year to you all, and sorry that's a bit late. I didn't realise how long I'd been away from here! I have of course been keeping myself busy, with "Forty Five", but also with something a little different. Namely "Slayer of the Storm God", which is a Warhammer audio title, in a similar vein to the Stargate ones. If you click the link, it will take you to the product page, which has a clip of the first couple of minutes for you to sample.

It was certainly a lot different to work on than the usual, and also quite a challenge. In the end I am very happy with it, in particular the music, which I hope people will enjoy!

I am currently working on the first story from the new Stargate Season, "First Prime" by James Sallow. I'll be following that up very sharpish, back in the World of Doctor Who with "Enemy of the Daleks", of which you will be able to hear an exclusive clip in a Big Finish podcast coming very soon! Following that, the plan is to work on a 2nd Stargate from Season 2.

Take care.

Quick Update

Steve Foxon — 21 Sep 2008 23:42:05 GMT

So, 'Brotherhood of the Daleks' is put to bed and I have a few weeks breathing space until working on an Episode of the upcoming 45th Anniversary release - "Forty Five".

Hopefully that will mean I'll have chance to finally update the releases on the site, but you never know! Lots of other things to catch up on as well.

Catch you soon.....[more]

Hello, Here I Am!

Steve Foxon — 28 Jun 2008 23:27:40 GMT

Yes, still about and working hard! It's been a funny old few months since my last update, where on top of underestimating the impact of baby number 3, there's been other stuff beyond my control that have just got in the way of working as often as I want (or is that need!).

Finally back in to the swing of things in the last couple of weeks ....[more]

Babies, Building & Back to Work

Steve Foxon — 5 Apr 2008 22:36:29 GMT

All the B's this week! Babies first - I am delighted at the arrival of child number 3, Archie Joshua Foxon, born on the 27th March, and weighing in at 6lb 4oz. His so cute, and so tiny.

In order to make way for Archie, we have had the garage converted, and amongst other things, this now houses my studio / office. This week involved a lot of funriture building and moving, and a lot of concentrating to make sure all thw wires went back in the same place! Anyway, I'm all up a running again, and I have to say I like my new den.... [more]

Stargate, Covers, Trailers & TNM

Steve Foxon — 24 Feb 2008 14:46:58 GMT

'The Dark Husband' is done, as is the first Stargate story 'Gift of the Gods'. The good news is that there's now a Stargate section on the Big Finish website, which can be found here. You'll see there's also the first Atlantis story 'A Necessary Evil' showing as well, which is the current project I am working on.

The cover for 'The Dark Husband' has been recently release, so you can see it under my Latest Projects to the right. You'll also notice the addition of a trailer....[more]

New Year, New Design, New RSS

Steve Foxon — 9 Jan 2008 21:41:21 GMT

So, 2008 has arrived and I thought that was a good point to launch the new site design! I hope you like it, I'm certainly very pleased with it, and it's taken a long time to do, but I got there in the end.... [more]

Dcotor Who & Stargate

Steve Foxon — 9 Jan 2008 21:41:23 GMT

So, I've had a bit of a break and it was very nice, but am about to get back in to the swing of things, starting off with a project I am chuffed to be working on from the beginning - Stargate! Yes, Big Finish are now starting to produce Stargate Audio's in a similar mould to the 'Companion Chronicles', where it's more a book than a play, with a main character narrating, and a 2nd person in a smaller role....[more]
