"Pull on a Thread" with David Siegfried (EXPLICIT)
<p>After decades of smoking weed daily, a stoner attempts a year-long break.</p><p>Written and performed by David Siegfried. Recorded and produced by Emily Shaw.</p><p>David Siegfried is a writer living in Berkeley, California. If David devoted as much time to writing as he does to managing his softball team, the East Bay Squirrels, he might be more widely published and have collected a few literary awards by now. That said, the East Bay Squirrels have won several city championships.</p><p>Music from Blue Dot Sessions</p>

GUEST ARTISTS: Laura Rojas Aponte & Vivien Schütz's "Red Card"
<p>When democracy is tested, can rights on paper hold?</p><p>A note from Laura & Vivien: "We set out to create a timely piece that reflects the political moment we’re living in, and the red card — a small, wallet-size card that outlines constitutional rights intended to be read by immigrants during encounters with law enforcement — felt like a tangible object that speaks volumes about the current climate.</p><p>Reporting this story took us across New York City:</p><p>In Crown Heights, Brooklyn, we spoke with two printers who produce the card.</p><p>At the Union Square Market in Manhattan, we searched for people who distribute or have used the card. In Jackson Heights, Queens, we asked people to read the constitutional rights in different languages. And at CUNY in Manhattan, we interviewed a professor about the power—and the limitations—of the card.</p><p>Together, the voices in this piece raise two larger questions: Do rights on paper hold when democracy is being tested? And on a more personal level, what role can artists play in politically tense times?"</p><p>Music by Blue Dot Sessions and Ives Schachtschabel</p><p>This piece was produced by Laura Rojas Aponte and Vivien Schütz for Audio Flux Circuit 06: Creative Tension. Each submission was required to:</p><ul><li>Run exactly three minutes</li><li>Take inspiration from the theme: “CREATIVE TENSION”</li><li>Include audible REPETITION (nodding to the rhythm of knitting)</li><li>And… tell us, what COLOR is your fluxwork?</li></ul><br/><p>(Their color was red.)</p><p>Learn more about Audio Flux at <a href="http://audioflux.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">audioflux.org</a>.</p><p>Vivien Schütz is an independent audio creative from Germany, living in Brooklyn. She produces audio documentaries and audio dramas and has a faible for non-narrated storytelling. A documentary especially close to her heart, that she created with Stefanie Heim, explores how female nocturnal flaneuses claim space at night. You can find her work on <a href="https://vivienschutz.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vivienschutz.com</a>. </p><p>Since launching her first show in 2014, Laura Rojas Aponte has led and shaped the growth of top-charting podcasts serving Latino audiences in the U.S. and internationally. She’s currently the Lead Producer of The Moment, from Radio Ambulante Studios and iHeart's MyCultura Podcast Network. <a href="https://www.laurarojasaponte.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.laurarojasaponte.com/</a> </p><p>Vivien and Laura are both part of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/audio_spice/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Audio Spice</a>, a collective hosting free, sound-focused events for NYC creatives.</p>

GUEST ARTIST: Alex Lewis' "How to Play Guitar"
<p>Guitar hero Ben Seretan gives his two cents on how to play the instrument. </p><p>A note from Alex: My friend Ben is an amazing musician and also a terrific writer. He's written a newsletter (currently called <a href="https://read.mybigbreak.zone/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Big Break</a>) for the past decade or so that's appointment reading for me on most Thursdays. Anyway, he wrote this beautiful, sometimes goofy, wisdom-laden piece giving advice on how to play the guitar a while ago. I could immediately hear the audio treatment of this piece while reading it for the first time. So I recorded Ben reading his writing.... but then life got in the way and I never ended up making the piece. Until now! This Audio Flux Circuit prompt reminded me that I had this idea sitting around that would be a good fit. I edited Ben's read to get within the 3-minute time limit. Then I took out a few guitars, some pedals, and a little digital drum machine and plugged these directly into Pro Tools. And then I just followed Ben's directions! I hope people enjoy this little piece.</p><p>This piece was produced by Alex Lewis for Audio Flux Circuit 06: Creative Tension. Each submission was required to:</p><ul><li>Run exactly three minutes</li><li>Take inspiration from the theme: “CREATIVE TENSION”</li><li>Include audible REPETITION (nodding to the rhythm of knitting)</li><li>And… tell us, what COLOR is your fluxwork?</li></ul><br/><p>(His color was silver.)</p><p>Learn more about Audio Flux at <a href="http://audioflux.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">audioflux.org</a>.</p><p>Alex Lewis is an independent radio & podcast producer living in Philadelphia, PA. He's the Co-Founder and Creative Director of <a href="https://rowhomeproductions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rowhome Productions</a>, a Philadelphia-based audio production agency that specializes in making podcasts, radio documentaries, audio tours, and other narrative audio projects. Before Rowhome, Alex spent more than a decade producing award-winning audio documentaries and podcasts for NPR, BBC Radio 4, and many other public media outlets, media companies and local organizations. His work has been recognized with Edward R. Murrow Awards and a Peabody Nomination. He's a graduate of the Transom Story Workshop and Northwestern University, where he studied music theory.</p><p>Website: <a href="https://alexjrlewis.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://alexjrlewis.com/</a></p>
