The Flight and the Fall will be performed live June 11th @ 8pm as part of the New Music Society concert series at Jace Gace 2045 SE Belmont (www.jacegace.com)

The Flight and the Fall is new audio program put together by me, Abraham Ingle, a public artist that has been working in Portland for years and had art displayed in City Hall last March. The Flight and the Fall is, to be honest, a lot like This American Life in format, but comes across differently, you have to hear it to get it, and you can, at www.hoodturkey.com/theflightandthefall, or by searching for it in iTunes (it's free).

The Flight and the Fall just finished it's first episode, which had a theme of "Love and Loss," and featured found sound, interviews, audio compositions, and a radio drama from a McSweeny's contributor (parlez-vous name drop?). Future issues are going to feature different themes, but you'll just have to sit tight and see what comes next.

While the show is similar to This American Life in that I choose a theme and explore that theme through dramatic and comedic stories. The show differs in that The Flight and the Fall is not trying to be journalistic in any way, and presents pieces in a curatorial, rather than journalistic manner. It will make sense once you listen to it.

Abraham Ingle is a public artist who has played in bands such as The Bats from the Pyramids of Egypt, and The Dot and the Line, and DJ's as DJ Invisiboy.

The Flight and the Fall Live!
