[Big thanks to Lusen Mendel, who we met at @soundscene.bsky.social for the li'l vid 🫶]

Our first ever circuit launch event… and in Chicago, no less!

"Birdland Refracted" was a joy to work on! Our team is/was ... chef's kiss! 💯

Take 3-minutes to listen to it. You are bound to enjoy it. #humblebrag

Thx @audioflux.bsky.social for spotlighting our work. #audionerds

Happy July! We're just under month out from announcing Circuit 06 on Aug 1. In the meantime, we're plenty busy dreaming & scheming & welcoming our 06 commissioned cohort into the fold -- shown here, sort of.

Sign up for our email list at audioflux.org to be among the first to hear all about it!

Thanks to all who came out for the Happy Hour/Happy Ears 05 Finalist Listening Party last week! And special thanks to those who gave their best (A++) Fluxy impersonation for the group photo. If you missed the fun, our ace collaborator @airmedia has kindly posted the video here: bit.ly/05HappyEars

Happy Monday! Here's our final 05 Circuit Select:
"Birdland Refracted" by @ohradiogirl.bsky.social and Milio Boogie with Hana Afifi. If you've ever wondered what a jazz-shaped musical kaleidoscope might sound like, this one's for you! Sink your ears into it, here: www.audioflux.org/circuit05/mi...

Next, our penultimate 05 Circuit Select fluxwork: "Seeds" by Sofie Hjorth Schausen. Think: variation on a climate change story. Fiction/non-fiction hybrid, both futuristic and ancient, dystopic and somehow hopeful too 🚀

Listen and read along (it's in Danish!) here: www.audioflux.org/circuit05/so...

Our next 05 Circuit Select: "Periodic Triumphs" from @craigeley.bsky.social, in which all sfx, ambi and interviews are from 1960's recordings! And featuring Smithsonian Folkways archival material digitized just for this fluxwork 😯

Listen (and marvel) here:

Audio Flux is making a home for short audio, three minutes at a time "To me it’s all about expanding what we think podcasting is."

What an honor to be featured by @niemanlab.org thanks to @neeldhanesha.com! And we love the pile of fluxworks from different circuits that Neel chose to spotlight: very different one to the next, collectively compelling, beautiful, meditative, sonically rich. 😍 www.niemanlab.org/2025/06/audi...

05 Fluxworks coming to your ears MONDAY! Meanwhile, in cahoots with @airmedia.bsky.social we're prepping for our Happy Hour/Happy Ears Circuit 05 Listening Party, during which we'll share all fifteen finalist fluxworks, and meet many of the producers behind these gems. bit.ly/circuit05finalists

Must admit, we had this iconic image in the back of our minds, from the beginning.

Audio Flux debuts Circuit 05: In 3D at the effin' Hirshhorn Museum as part of the marvelous @soundscene.bsky.social... did it really happen, just down the hall from a BASQUIAT x BANKSY exhibit? Yes, yes it did. And it was everything we dreamed of, and hoped for, and more. Community + connection FTW!

García Márquez, the copywriter. About that time when Gabo made it big in adverstising and lost it all for writing his most celebrated novel. Plus: Audioflux in Washington.

On creativity, Gabriel García Márquez as copywriter, and Audio Flux, from Circuit 05 commissioned producer,Laura Ubaté: lauraubate.substack.com/p/garcia-mar...
