this edition of framework:afield has been produced by regular contributor keith de mendonca. for more information see his soundcloud page at http://www.soundcloud.com/keith-de-mendonca. notes from the producer:Although this show mainly relies on field recordings from my travels I also have added a dimension of radio recordings, and manglings of Indian radio by Nicholas Collin’s “devil’s music” software. So overall this is a much denser and more nonlinear mix than my previous ‘ethnographic’ show which tended to move from country to country.
