🥁 Circuit 06 finalists announced TOMORROW! (October 7) 🥁

Meanwhile, we were chuffed to notice, in her recent essay for The New Yorker, that the singular Zadie Smith finds inspiration from a familiar (to AF) source ⚡⚡⚡

Floating home from the XMTR Festival somewhat delirious, with ears, hearts & brains teeming after 3 days of audio everything: stories, sounds, noise, music, swarm, static, cabaret. And! We met our Circuit 06 creative partner, the amazing Lorna Hamilton-Brown & presented 06 finalists. Magical!

Alice Garner @soundslikealice.bsky.social · 23d

Just pressed submit on an @audioflux.bsky.social entry - of course the idea came at the last minute but I decided to go with it anyway because it felt real! Having these prompts to make new work is really helpful, gotta say!

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 ✨
