The steady sound of an electric fan is interrupted by a play button click, and by a Beyonce song right after. A pointer in a little illuminated box is moving from side to side obeying the beat. The sound coming out the speakers is as wholesome as only the sound coming out of a quality 90s stereo can be. Paul Rome, Bushwick writer, proudly turns the volume button to the right. “I have always wanted a stereo like this,” he says. We’re in his Bushwick room and a studio at the same time. Paul has recently again come to the attention of public: this time by an online release of an epic audio play called The You Trilogy. Paul authored all three parts of the story, the main character of which is You; read it; composed the music to enhance the effect of this ‘almost cataclysmic’ story; and his buddy musician Roarke Menzies recorded and mixed it. The first two parts were released in June and July, and the final installment is prepared for August.
