In this episode, the artist collective Small Audio Art founded by Phoebe McIndoe invites us to contemplate the possibilities of windowsâŚ
Interview with Phoebe McIndoe
Are you creatively stuck, a worried novice audio-maker, or just feeling a little lonely?
Donât worry, Phoebe McIndoe feels you.
Establishing Small Audio Artâa 6-month playful, low-stakes project inviting creators to craft stories inspired by everyday objectsâthe Berlin-based journalist and radio maker welcomes you into her little paradise of quirkiness, randomness, and heaps of laughter. (Shhh⌠thereâs also a listening party with party poppers after each submission round).
Next prompt: âclocksâ (or any timekeeping device).
Submissions can be up to 10 minutes, in MP3 format. Photos or poems welcomed.
Jump on the bandwagon. Let your story chime in.
Matters of Windows by Jane Lee and Dan Semo
In our first story, a reflective monologue on the passage of time, missed opportunities and life choices.
âWe rush through life pretending we have all the time in the world, but the window is always getting smaller.â
Soggy Window by Martin Zaltz Austwick
Next up, Martin makes a song out of the squeegee.
Time to wipe your windows.
Lumi by Andrea Kristinsdottir
In our third story, Andrea leaves a window open – and someone escapes.
A wholesome search for a cheeky little thing. Meow.
The Window by Danni Stewart
Through our final window…
A âpart-timeâ shirtless guy. Unsolicited flowers. Her window and his window.
âThe next time I looked at the window, everything was gone.â
âI never even spoke to him. So why do I miss him? I don’t know.â
Thank you to Phoebe McIndoe and all of the audio artists who shared their stories.
