2009 ShortDocs challenge:
Chicago Sound Drops

In 2009 the TCF changed it up and instead of running the usual audio challenge, invited a large handful of producers from Chicago and beyond to produce short audio works - Chicago Sound Drops - that conjure the city through sound, story, and imagination. The results are as varied, strange, noisy, and beautiful as the city itself. Take a sonic tour of the Windy City, and listen for yourself.
