The Fugues fiction expedition ventures into romcom territory - or maybe anti-romcom? Remember I Adore You began as a TV pilot my writing partner Natasha Schwartz and I wrote years ago. We loved the script so much we adapted it for audio and produced it ourselves with talented musician and actor friends, recording it live. It’s half table read, half audio drama.

Based on a true story, we subverted the "will they/won't they" trope to focus on how relationships can become more meaningful after romance ends - a progressive take on male-female relationships and maybe even a blueprint for bridging divides.

Yes, it's a departure from normal Fugues content, but don't worry - there's at least one inappropriate neuroscience joke. Please share if the story resonates!

The next evolutionary step of free will?

This is an excerpt from a series called Audiocorpse. It's inspired by Exquisite Corpse, a game where participants take turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal their contribution, and then passing it to the next player for the next contribution. It became popular in the 1920s when it was adopted as a technique by artists of the Surrealist (Dada) movement to generate collaborative compositions.

In Audiocorpse (sponsored by All The Best Radio), the prompt is to create a 3-minute story based on the last 10 seconds of another creator and must include a particular sound cue. The last 10 seconds of my story seeded someone else's, and on and on. You can hear the whole audiocorpse (#2) here.

This excerpt was written, mixed and performed by Gabriel Berezin.

Take a close look at this episode’s thumbnail. This image (cartoonified for the purposes of this post) was the prompt for a recent Fugues submission to Audio Flux. We were challenged to create something in “3-D” audio. In other words, it should make use of spatial audio or stereo to give a sense of the space.

Developed, written, and voiced by Gabriel Berezin and CG Foisy.
