Lightning Rod Special presents, SUPERHOST, a Halloween audio thriller that unfolds over a series of voicemails to Adrian, the owner of a beautiful Airbnb in rural Maine.

Get away from your stressful and conventional lives. Extend your stay. You deserve to be alone. You deserve hospitality. You deserve luxury. You deserve self-care. Because, wherever you come from, you belong here.

In response to the ongoing Covid pandemic and restrictions on public gatherings, Lightning Rod Special dared its members to begin creating audio work from quarantine. SUPERHOST is our first experiment in devising for this new medium.

When the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically shifted the landscape of live performance in March 2020, Lightning Rod Special began experimenting with new forms of remote collaboration. The result was Sound Break, a series of stand-alone audio works that bring LRS’s explosive and trickster style into the audio medium. Sound Break is available online, free to all.
