More About CLP Audio The Common Language Project's audio branch serves to both enhance an understanding of issues covered in our online magazine and to showcase features that are best expressed through audio. Our work strives to include underreported sounds, from the traditional music of Thailand?s northern hill tribes to an original song telling the personal story of a Cambodian land mine survivor and street kid who dreams of becoming a pop singer. Our recent audiovisual piece, The Tulip Revolution: One Year Later, combines portraiture with on-the-street interviews to give our audience a slice of political life in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan. The CLP also produces traditional radio shorts such as Reporting from the Red Light, which takes listeners to Kolkata?s red light districts, exploring the personal and political transformation producer Jessica Partnow experienced in reporting a story on the unionization efforts of sex workers.
