[Kzyxtalk] NEW COLLABORATION - Cowbird and Sonic IDs

[Norman de Vall]

Can you explain this in the English used by
non-techies.  Isn't this for the station rather
than our list.serv?

>> Our friends at Cowbird asked if we’d like to do a collaborative story-telling project using the “Sonic IDs” as a frame. Yes. It starts today and you can visit Cowbird to find out the details:

Since then, we’ve made over a thousand, and they air unexpectedly during every broadcast day. It's a way to have a local signature amid all the national fare. Over at Cowbird, we’re going to use the audio and short time frame as the construct; you simply match sonic vignettes with photos, or vice versa. Easy. On Transom we have tips on making these, "Mine The Gap: A Practical Manual for Sonic IDs and Interstitial Broadcast Time," or maybe you’ve already done some short form audio stuff like this. In any case, join in. It’s fun.

>> "Postcard Reality vs. Real Reality: When you start a project that’s grounded in localness, you may find that you go to the postcard version of your place first. That’s okay. Go to Fenway Park or Niagara Falls or Schwab’s Drugstore first and get it out of your system. Actually, your listeners may find the postcard comforting, but they’ll tire of it quickly. Soon, move your pieces to less conventional subjects, or add some surprise to the conventional images. Go to the crannies, the underbelly, the soul of your place.
