After years in public radio making and mixing stories that all sounded almost exactly the same, Sam Harnett and Chris Hoff wanted to make a radio show that didn't tell you a story or what to think. What started as a podcast has evolved into an in-person, multichannel audio event.

"I have always been possessed by the evocative qualities all sounds seem to have, whether natural or electronic. Sounds touch deeper levels of our inner life, layers that lie just beneath the visual world. All sounds are communicative--sound as birth, life and death; sound as time and space; sound as object, environment or event. Audiences should feel sound as it bumps up against them, caresses, travels through, covers and enfolds them. "I ask listeners to see with their ears and feel with their bodies sounds as images, dreams and memories. As people walk into a work, they become part of its realization. From entrance to exit, AUDIUM is a sound-space continuum." - Stan Shaff, Composer
