Happy AFFAD (Audio Flux Finalists Announcement Day) to all who celebrate! 🎉
With Circuit 07, in cahoots with @radioworkshop and @ckabiru , our goal was to stretch the boundaries of what climate narratives can sound and feel like. And, tbh, to bring a little creative oomph to climate storytelling. Let's just say... mission accomplished, on all fronts 🔥
BIG thanks to everyone who fluxed with us this time around. And BIG congrats to our 07 Finalists, selected from an ear-popping pool of 97 submissions from 15 countries:
Roll call YES:
Andrew Parsons ✨ Betsy Shepherd ✨ Corinne Ruff ✨ Dan R. Morris ✨ Edgar Hudson ✨ Giacomo Bagni ✨ Golda Arthur ✨ Ida Frisk Carstensen ✨ Luke Eldridge ✨ Jonathan Miller ✨
Peter Balonon-Rosen ✨ Tanya Rodrigue
🎧 You can listen to all twelve Finalists right now (!) thanks to our friends at @xmtr.fm
And join us (with special guests) at @tribecaaudio on June 14th to hear four Circuit Selects chosen from these Finalists, “in the room" at our Circuit 07 world premiere event! 💥

Good lord, have you seen the full @tribecaaudio program for this summer? It's outtasight! And we're thrilled (overused but TRUE) to be part of the TA audio hoopla this time around.
On June 14th we'll premiere our Circuit 07 commissioned fluxworks and newly-minted Circuit Selects, in a live listening party with special guests and a few other surprises. All are 3-min climate stories inspired by our 07 theme and prompts, which were inspired by the visionary artwork of @ckabiru
But these are not your typical climate stories! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cringe, you'll fume. And you'll come away thinking about the climate in new and different ways. We promise.
Tickets here (for this and the other excellent sessions on offer): tribecafilm.com/audio
See ✨ you ✨ in ✨ June! ✨
One of the deeply rewarding things about Audio Fluxing is that we get to work with many amazing humans 🙌
Like the mighty team @radioworkshop -- our organizational partner for Circuit 07.
And @ckabiru who has inspired the heck out of us, and everyone who submitted a fluxwork for Circuit 07.
And everyone who submitted a fluxwork for Circuit 07! All 97 of you.
And, burying the lede here, THESE rock stars, our newly revealed Circuit 07 Commissioned Producers:
Alex Sujong Laughlin @alexlaughs ✨
Daniel Ondieki @__ondieki__ ✨
Munira Kaoneka @miskelleneous ✨
Remoy Philip ✨
Curious to hear their takes on Trash or Treasure-inspired climate stories, which span speculative fiction, documentary, personal essay and poetry? We bet. Stay very tuned! 🔥
What do 97 climate-story inspiring found objects look like in a grid? We're glad you asked.
We'll reveal many of the stories behind this stuff soon enough. Meanwhile, let your ears' imagination run wild. ✨

Psst! Just a friendly reminder here that the deadline for Circuit 07 submissions is coming right up, one week from today: 11:59p ET, April 6th.
This means you have exactly one more week to create and submit a fluxwork that:
- Responds to the theme “Trash or Treasure" (inspired by our creative partner @ckabiru and organizational partner, @radioworkshop )
- Run exactly three minutes (of course!)
- Tells a climate story that is meaningful to you (and that challenges "climate story" expectations)
- Incorporates a discarded object you’ve found (or will find)
- Includes at least one sound recorded in Cyrus’s studio (downloadable at audioflux.org)
We wouldn't say you have *plenty* of time at this point, but you certainly still have time! Almost plenty.
All the info (what you get, how you submit, all your questions answered) can be found here:
/circuit07
⚡ There are so many climate stories to tell, and we can't wait to hear the ones inspiring you to tell them. ⚡
⏳The April 6 deadline for Circuit 07: Trash or Treasure is officially TWO WEEKS away!⏳
But don't let that scare or deter you. The fearless crew pictured here spent this past weekend at our first ever Mini-Flux workshop at @the_salt_institute where they produced three-minute "balance"-themed and collector plate-inspired fluxworks in just 46 HOURS! And along the way bonded over shared feelings of excitement, dread, curiosity and satisfaction. It was awesome & impressive & FUN. 🏆
More on the workshop, soon. In the meantime... here's your gentle TWO WEEKS TO GO reminder about Circuit 07.
Details, info about what you might win, an FAQ, and a link to submit can all be found here:
/circuit07
Holler with questions: [email protected]
What do these plates have to do with Audio Flux, you might be wondering?
It's a fair question! Stay tuned right here to find out.
