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.

Reporting this story took us across New York City:

In Crown Heights, Brooklyn, we spoke with two printers who produce the card.

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.

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?"

A note from Alex: My friend Ben is an amazing musician and also a terrific writer. He's written a newsletter (currently called My Big Break) 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.

Q&A:

Q: I assume that her interview was recorded first, and the overlapping phrases were intentional rather than coincidental?

A: Yes. The other person is a good friend of mine, though she wishes to remain anonymous, and we'd previously observed the similar-but-different aspect of a boobal removal / breast enhancement. So I interviewed her and then wrote my part.

Q: Why did you choose the color “neon black”?

A: A bright absence.

The prompt:

SmallAudioArt: Every other month we issue a prompt inviting artists to explore themes of belonging and identity through everyday objects found inside a home. This month's prompt invites you to create a short piece which explores clocks. It could be your clock, or somebody else's clock. We invite you to be as playful with the theme as you like! All languages and all art forms are welcome, whether your medium is written, photograph, video, poetry.

Please send your submission along with a photograph/drawing of your clock. For audio suggested length is one to ten minutes...

Thoughts:

How does this clock mark time in your life?

What memories does it hold?

Does it represent freedom or constraint?

What sounds does it make? What rhythm does it create?

How does it shape your daily routines?

Does it connect you to others who share its time?

What happens when it stops or breaks?

Does it remind you of someone?

Is time different in different spaces?

How does it make you feel when you look at it?

SmallAudioArt is a collective inviting artists to explore themes of belonging, safety and identity, through the lens of everyday objects found around the home: windows, doors, wooden spoons, clocks. The radio programme weaves together these object artworks and sonic responses to create communal space for reflection and togetherness. Every other month we gather together to connect with other makers, share, celebrate and offer feedback within communal listening parties.

Our homework one week was to create a one-minute piece using field recording. It was supposed to convey an emotionally impactful event from our week…without any talking. For my piece, I tried to convey the feeling of waiting to hear back about something that I really cared about. I was stuck in this cycle of thinking about it, and trying not to, over and over again. 

In this episode, you’ll hear the second version of the piece that I created. I made it by mixing together "Version 1" with the original three one-minute-long voice memos of just the sound of my breathing, plus singing bowls played by Mandy Hamilton.

Sweet Serenade Lyrics:

[Verse]

In the twilight hour, when the stars align

A melody unfolds, weaving through time

Gentle notes caress, like a soothing breeze

Welcome to Candy Ears, the symphony of peace

[Chorus]

Take a moment to unwind, let your worries fade away

Let the music guide your soul, on this podcast journey today

Candy Ears, your tranquil escape, where melodies entwine

Let the mellow tunes embrace you, as you sip on sweet sunshine

In this experiment, I play with the passage users read to create their AI voice in Descript, mixing together many "real" and AI versions of my voice.

"In a world of wires and codes

Where the silence slowly erodes

There's a whisper in the air

Of a revolution, unfair

We used to sing with heart and soul (oh-oh-oh)

Now the melodies have taken their toll

The AI's taken over, silence fills the air

In this silent revolution, we're left in despair"

This happened at a sound bath ceremony led by Mandy Hamilton this past Spring. Twenty or so participants lay down in a circle as a range of different instruments - including crystal bowls, chimes, and a huge gong - played around us.

Fast forward a few weeks, and I was recording Mandy and her colleague Anthony Pietromonaco in the Berkeley hills. They were preparing to guide a daylong sound journey that weekend. I hope that this piece gives listeners a dose of inspiration to “look at the hard thing,” whatever that may be, in their lives. *Listen with headphones.*

Sometimes, when we’re alone together, we pretend that we’re other people, living different lives in completely far away spaces of time. We imagine these characters as ourselves, only slightly different versions. They laugh like us, they smile like us, they even dream like us.
