Coho Crossing is a sonic narrative about a crossing of the Strait of Juan de Fuca between Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and Port Angeles, Washington, United States aboard the ferry Coho, named for the coho salmon found in the waters of the Pacific Northwest. John Barber created this composition from field recordings made aboard the Coho. In his introduction, Barber explains the sounds heard. In addition to contributing to framework, Barber manages Radio Nouspace (www.radionouspace.net), one of several global outlets for framework radio.

it was just before our last regular edition (the show was already mixed and sent of to our family stations) that we received the news of the passing of amanda wilson, aka kassia flux. amanda has been a big contributor to the program over the last several years, and, although we paid tribute to her in writing in the playlist for that edition (#708) we wanted to do it on the air as well, so in this edition we listened back to 2 long excerpts from her two editions of framework:afield, both of which can be heard in their entirely via the links below. we also began this editon with the last framework intro she contributed, recorded earlier this year, just before our 700th show. amanda was a great artist and a great friend of he program, and we will miss her.
