Artist Cyrus Kabiru's beautiful scupture work inspired our Circuit 07 theme and prompts (Trash or Treasure) which inspired a bevy of fluxworks, which inspired Cyrus to create this beautiful piece, "My Story"which we shared at Tribeca 🤩 ♾️ Behold a true AUDIO FLUX INSPIRATION LOOP! ♾️

Listening together in a darkened room is my religion ❤️

PSAudioA! Thanks to @karaswisher.bsky.social for the substantive convo with Jeanne Gang about architecture / nature / design / heart -- been thinking about 'tricking the wind' all day. Here's one of JG's beauts, new to me and new-ish to the Chicago skyline 🙌 Ep: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

PSA! It's been maybe decades since I last listened to this band (my bad) but today my ears are loving the new record from The New Pornographers. Pretty vinyl, too! 🙌 @mergerecords.bsky.social merch.ambientinks.com/collections/...

Public credit where it’s due… cheers to the @americanair.bsky.social pilot who exited the plane (while folks were boarding) to chase down the beloved hoodie I’d left in the bathroom across from our gate, thereby sparing me from deboarding with my luggage to frantically look for it. A true hero 🙏🙌🤘

The best band, still, always. #dirtythree

Sound School Podcast@soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The best thing about my job hosting Sound School is talking w/ smart people producing creative stories. Like on the latest ep. @jatomic.bsky.social & John Delore dive deep into how they brought @audioflux.bsky.social from idea to podcast. @prx.org @transom.bsky.social

Six recent pods I've listened to / am still listening to. Six different temperaments, purposes, styles and sounds. All of them commendable but for very different reasons. Audio! What a medium! Obviously, I know. But still.

Prepare to cackle throughout this next-level delightful new ep from @thetruthfiction.bsky.social ♻️😂🙌https://www.thetruthpodcast.com/story/2026/3/5/garden-of-evan
