Right after September 11th, we created the "Days That Follow" section here at Transom.org. Eventually, we expect to turn it into a timeline of work that resonates forward and backward from the events of that day. Creative and useful audio evidence, that's what we're looking for.

Here in our "Shows" section, though, we'll keep on looking for all manner of new and different pieces, not necessarily tied to those events. But this month we felt we should mark the time with work that relates.

These are three pieces, each set in a temporal relationship to that day. Two come from New York City, one from Washington, DC. One is from a first-time producer, another from a seasoned journalist. Each was made within a week of the 11th and neither has been broadcast. The third piece was broadcast in 1983 and was made by a group of about a dozen recordist/producers living in New York City at the time. It was, and still is, a tribute.
