The Third Coast International Audio Festival is three days of ear candy. Producers from around the world travel to Chicago to share work, talk shop, and, most importantly, listen.
Unfortunately, Third Coast only happens every other year. So, 2012 is a Third Coast year.
However, the geniuses at Third Coast went and invented the Filmless Festival for the off years. It’s a full day of audio hijinks capped with an awards ceremony. This year, the Filmless Festival is Sunday, October 23. Tickets are still available.
On this edition of HowSound, I present one of the stories featured at this year’s Filmless Festival — “Seizure’s Lament” by Canadian producer Carma Jolly. It’s a well-crafted mix of first-person essay and sound art. You might want to wear headphones for this one. Then, when you’re done, make your way to Chicago for more.
Keep listening,
Rob

Hi Emily. You knew another person with last name Jolly who had epilepsy? That’s a strange unfolding. Thank you for your comment about the story. In October, I had brain surgery and am healing. No seizures recorded since the end of October.
