Prompt
This article is about C. W. Smith's radio play Prompt. For the related work, see Selector.
Prompt is a radio play by C. W. Smith, documented in the bibliography of his works. As a sonic/theatrical piece, it participates in Smith's exploration of language as the mirroring of consciousness against itself and the polyacoustic dimension of narrative.
The work exists alongside Selector, another radio play by Smith, suggesting a sustained interest in radio and broadcast as sites of formal inquiry. Radio's fragmentary, non-visual transmission aligns with Smith's recurring concerns: the gap between signal and noise, the Empty World Meditations, and what he describes as the sound of the earth rubbing against space.
Prompt contributes to Smith's engagement with the Beach Surgery franchise universe across distributed media. Specific publication date and detailed plot remain [citation needed].
