The Internet in Sepia and Other Short Docs
May 04, 2012 -

Helena De Groot lives in Brussels and makes great radio like The Internet in Sepia, a composition which Helena submitted to this year’s Third Coast Festival Short Docs competition. In the piece, Helena meditates on distance in two dimensions: space, and time. Her narrative clips are supported by music composed by friends’ of hers, which you can find here.


The Third Coast Festival curates audio storytelling, and hosts an annual audio conference and competition. Every year they give a “short docs” challenge, inviting producers of all kinds to explore sound within a few paremeters. Here was this year’s prompt:

Produce a short audio story (2 -3 minutes) that features at least two of your neighbors, includes a color in the title, and contains three consecutive seconds of narrative silence. Stories of all styles are welcome – from documentary to drama – and everything in between.

Remix has a number of Third Coast’s Short Doc sumbissions in our mix. Have a listen:




Welcome to the Metal
Apr 13, 2012 -

I heard this story last year on UnFictional and thoroughly enjoyed it. The power of radio and the power of metal.

Full description:

Nowadays she’s a working mom who just bought her first home, but back in college, Angie was better known for her alter ego – Ivy, the Mistress of Metal. Most of the students at her small liberal arts college couldn’t have cared less about Angie’s weekly heavy metal radio show. But at the nearby prison, she was a legend.

UnFictional is one of the new additions to Remix from the inimitable KCRW in LA. Keep an ear out for The Guest DJ Project and the forthcoming Strangers.
