On today's ep of the AFP: "The Sound of Silence" by Gregory Warner, in which "a mysterious sonic visitation in a trying time brings a lesson about letting go." Also: a couple dirty jokes & marsupial rescue advice, all of this in just 10 minutes. Listen! Enjoy! Subscribe! Share! 😘 bit.ly/AFpodlinks

It's not just that I wrote a newsletter about the piece I made for @audioflux.bsky.social — it's that I also figured out how to include an image on the link down there ⬇️ even though the image is not in the post itself. Small wins! Or, if you will, periodic triumphs… fieldnoise.com/new-work-per...

Wondering how/why "Creative Tension" for our Circuit 06 theme? It came from a convo w/ Lorna Hamilton-Brown about her "tension birds" and how to meet this (rather) tense moment as artists & storytellers. Deadline is 9/15. Plenty of time to submit your fluxwork! Details: www.audioflux.org/circuit-06

Why yes, this IS a room full of audiophiles doing their best Fluxy impressions, snapped at our recent launch event in Chicago with @chiaudiocollective.com! Also: we're one month out from the Circuit 06 deadline. Plenty of time to craft a 3 minute fluxwork inspired by the theme: CREATIVE TENSION ✨

Here's another sweet vid from @audiopotluck who chatted with us at the @soundscenefest a couple months back about the why and what of Audio Flux. Circuit 06 is ON! The theme is creative tension, deadline is September 15, all details here: www.audioflux.org/circuit-06 #MAKEANAUDIOFLUX!
