Julie's Portfolio
Audio Flux is a home for innovative, short-form audio and bold storytelling. It was co-founded in 2023 by Julie Shapiro and John DeLore, a pair of audiophiles who believe deeply in audio culture and community, and the transformative power of sound + story. And who loooove to listen.
How it works: Audio Flux regularly invites people far and wide to create short audio works inspired by a set of prompts. For each “circuit” we engage with a creative partner who helps design these prompts, and share the resulting “fluxworks” via live events, online, across social channels, and on (soon) The Audio Flux Podcast.
Deep listening is a crucial tool in developing a critical ear and defining your own creative style. Join long-time audio champion Julie Shapiro for lively group listening sessions and in-depth discussions about carefully curated, widely sourced audio stories. You’ll come away a more discerning listener, newly inspired by audio’s potential, and more informed about your own work.
