this edition of framework:afield was produced in the uk by regular series contributor felicity ford, and features a framework-specific mix and edit from her radio series the fantastical reality radio show.  felicity says:

The Fantastical Reality Radio Show in association with Mundane Appreciation was commissioned by RadioReverb as part of the Sonic Arts Network Expo 2008. It was originally hosted in Brighton by Earshot and aired on Radio Reverb during the Summer of 2008.

All 5 shows can be downloaded in their entirety from the show’s website at http://www.fantasticalreality.com/home.html

The show was the concept of Felicity Ford, Kayla Bell and Claudia Figueiredo. Aiming to draw listeners in to an entertaining exploration of ordinary audio, The Fantastical Reality Radio Show in association with Mundane Appreciation was based on using the immediate situation or vicinity as a basis for artmaking, and was intended to celebrate and draw attention to the sounds we hear all the time. All the sounds were recorded by Felicity Ford, Kayla Bell and Claudia Figueiredo, and friends of Kayla Bell make guest appearances in many of the show’s popular jingles!

The Fantastical Reality Radio Show appropriated the format of a mainstream radio show and populated it with unexpected content. Adopting a fast-paced, OTT, jingle-tastic approach, the show was filled with gameshows and features all focussed around the appreciation of everyday sounds.

Felicity Ford is currently undertaking a PhD in The Domestic Soundscape and presenting everyday sounds to audiences, while Kayla Bell and Claudia Figeuiredo continue to collaborate on their ongoing project, Mundane Appreciation.

This special edition of The Fantastical Reality Radio Show in association with Mundane Appreciation has been put together for Framework from the archives used to make the original 5 shows. There are some longer edits here and much of the voiceover that was used to connect up the features in the original shows has been removed, to make way for the features, the games, and – most importantly, the sounds – that made up that series. However, the fun approach, fast-pace and celebratory atmosphere have been retained for the listening pleasure of all Framework listeners!
