#554: 2016.05.29 [matthew swiezynski]

this edition, entitled urge along the pathways of the sky and the first of a 3-part series, has been produced in portland, oregon by matthew swiezynski, whose last name i actually know how to pronounce, as completely coincidentally we worked at a cinema together in cambridge, massachusetts in 1996. isn’t it a small world?

matthew, purveyor of the great invisible birds record label, and member of projects such as ingenting kollektiva and community of light, had this to say about this edition:

Urge Along the Pathways of the Sky; being a 57 minute sound experience, obsessively investigating Satyajit Ray’s film Pather Panchali (first in The Apu Trilogy from the year 1955) as source material, with a concentration on sound design and field recording elements from the film. Music by R. Shankar, sound recording by Bhupen Ghosh, Samir Ghosh and Durgacharan Mitra. Mixed by Matthew Swiezynski of the Ingenting Kollektiva. Includes rain, elements, birds, night sounds, trains, fuzz, drone, interrupted music, and speech fragments. Next installment will be the 2nd and 3rd in The Apu Trilogy.

#553: 2016.05.22

a long playlist this week, and already a little late, so i’ll try to be brief. several physicals, 2 cds from yannick dauby’s kalerne label, a limited cdr version of an online release by jonáš gruska, and a very beautiful (and beautifully packaged) cd by giovanni lami (sounds recorded to, buried on, and subsequently dug up and recovered from cassette tape). also an unreleased submission by monikapich, and several more sounds from the aporee soundmaps.

this week one of our favorite radio stations – certainly our favorite station that we’re not aired on – kfjc, in los altos hill, california, broadcast a 4-hour special focusing on framework radio and my solo work as murmer. dj abacus finch played lots of sounds from framework editions releases, and also played this entire edition as part of his show. so finally, framework has been aired on kfjc! the whole thing is available for streaming from their archives, which was be found here:

look for the hours from 2-6pm on may 23rd, hosted by abacus finch, and you’ll hear us. […]

this is the second of a multipart series produced by slavek kwi, aka artificial memory trace, entitled soundlife. this is chapter 2, CHOOLTD (THE DUALITY SONG). for more information, see http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com. notes from the producer:

CHOOLTD. HOTCOLD. This is second installment of another Soundorganism destined for Framework Radio. These Soundsketches contain (and will contain) various episodes inspired by my ordinary and extraordinary Soundenvironments, which includes also creative-process-fragments from my Soundactivities and spoken or sung thoughts. Still clumsy, but getting slowly more in balance. Normality re-installed? […]

many fine sounds this week as spring springs quite manically here in southeast estonia. feels like just yesterday the last snows were melting, and now it’s 25C and the lawn needs to be cut. so save this show for cool evening listening – for now, go outside! […]

#550! 2016.05.01 [slavek kwi]

this edition of framework:afield is the first of a multi-part series produced in ireland by slavek kwi, aka artificial memory trace, entitled soundlife. for more information see http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com. notes from slavek:

SOUNDLIFE CHAPTER 1:
PROPAGANDA, FRAGMENTATION AND CONFUSION (IN MANY LAYERS)

Since I became a father, my immediate sound environment and its perception changed rather dramatically. Also relation to the time, before perceived as basically amorphous entity – nowadays became a moment with very definite boundaries. My week is composed from Sounday (if lucky Sounday with “s” on the end) and the other Days (always with “s”). My Soundays are increasingly more and more dense. In every sense. Sometimes I am so exhausted that I am sleeping first half of my Sounday hoping the second half-day will be dedicated to Sounds, which means: exclusively to my Sounds and in association with cherished collaborations with my fellow Soundpeople.
