A Cave Carol comes from a two-minute audio clip Lainey sent Xander after a date with her ex about two years ago. With words and distance, it's become much more. Written with words scratched out and re-written to make sure it's *exactly* what it means.*************Writer: Laine FarberAudio Producer/Sound Designer: Alexander Charles AdamsConsulting Editor: Margaret Laurena Kemp~~~~~~~~~~www.smashcutthepodcast.comtwitter.com/SmashCutCastinstagram.com/SmashCutCast

La Fumée Fatale

Produced by Alexander Charles AdamsInterview Magic by Laine Farbertwitter.com/SmashCutCast // smashcutthepodcast.comIn New Orleans, the Sewage and Water Board has left roads in extreme disrepair. Potholes are seemingly permanent fixtures, practically community members. The people of New Orleans have taken to decorating potholes, giving them names, creating social media trends and profiles, and making them more than facts of life. But what happens when a particularly notorious pothole... gets filled? This satire story "Deborah" tells the tale of the St. Ann/Burgundy (pronounced ber-GUN-dee), and her untimely demise. Special Thanks to the People of the Fruit Loop and Greater Foolish Area of New Orleans

"Deborah"

Producer: Alexander Charles AdamsWords from the Producer:This piece was made in reverse. I found this guitar lying on the gold couch in the Ragdale house living room. All of us got so used to leaving our possessions out because we felt so trusting, but somehow, we never lost the need to comment on doing it, like announcing "oh my goodness I left my laptop in the other house" to the room and then not moving and kept chatting. Anyways, so this guitar. It was tuned differently, D something... anything I struck on it sounded generally nice. I can't play guitar. I've never played guitar. But this made me sound so good. I pulled out my phone and recorded myself for a little while, playing with it. Making chords and fiddling with the strings. And finally running my fingers down the fretboard. When I listened back to the recording, I became obsessed with it. I listened to it over and over again as I walked the Ragdale grounds trying to get unstuck or feel something new about being there. It felt so much like the Ragdale in my head but all on a little tape. I decided to interview each of the residents about their experiences for the same length of time as the unedited guitar tape and set to create a piece where our experiences were composed to the guitar; composed to how I saw Ragdale.

Trying to make work, in whatever form, when you can't see what path to follow is difficult. Debilitating might be a better word. So, should we support a culture telling you what path to take or give you the freedom to choose?Producer: Alexander Charles AdamsEditor: Laine FarberFeaturing the voice of Samantha Kennedy and archival soundwww.smashcutthepodcast.comtwitter.com/SmashCutCastinstagram.com/SmashCutCast

Keep Going

Last year, we created a piece called Hi, I'm Mattie which delved into the abuse Matthew Cavan received after going public with his HIV status in Northern Ireland. The creation of the piece was slow and difficult over the course of three months while our producer Alexander worked on a larger installation about people living with HIV in Northern Ireland for the Outburst Arts festival called GLRY. In this interview, we talk about what Hi, I'm Mattie means to Matthew a year later.Smash/Cut will return for Season 3 in January 2018

Come On In

Call Me When You Get This, Love You.Audio Production/Conception: Alexander Charles AdamsSpecial Thanks: Those who left voicemails for us to work with.Over the course of four years, our creator Alexander saved all their voicemails knowing one day there would be some way to tell a story. This piece is the story that came from moving around voicemails like puzzle pieces. The voicemails themselves are entirely real and completely intact, aside from the redaction of phone numbers and personal information. The only real editing is the order in which the voicemails are presented. These range from voicemails recieved in the Fall of 2013 to only two weeks ago (from original release).
