#715: 2020.05.24 [d.l. lutz]

this edition of framework:afield, entitled, ‘earscape: freeze’, has been produced in berlin, germany by architect, writer, sound artist and regular contributor d. l. lutz. producer’s notes:

“It does not get any colder than this… The world has frozen over, and you are standing in the middle of this wilderness – minus forty degrees, and plenty of strange noises around. Ice produces some of the purest and most intriguing sounds, some of them do not sound natural at all.

“We start and end that show with improvisations on ice instruments by a Norwegian jazzer. In-between, you hear thermal cracks on frozen lakes, calving glaciers, breaking icebergs, falling slowflakes, the howling of wind in glacier crevices, and also a couple of frost-resisting animals like seals, seabirds and whales surfacing in the Antarctic. Enjoy the journey to the coldest regions of the earth!”

we’re back to lockdown sounds this week, or rather, works produced in lockdown, as we just barely start to dip our little toes into the massive psi-solation compilation, curated by new zealand’s campbell kneale and featuring works by 119 artists, including your friendly neighborhood framework host. i haven’t even tried to count the hours here, and i haven’t come anywhere close to listening to it all yet, but i managed to finagle out a handful of tracks appropriate for framework just to start, and will hope to finagle a few more over the coming weeks/months.

as a reflection of the current state of being around the world, we’ve been exploring sounds of lockdown recently, mostly from sounds uploaded to the aporee soundmaps. this week, however, we begin exploring another kind of sound born out of quarantine, as we dip into erstwhile records’ amplify2020 online festival. erstwhile’s jon abbey vowed to release a new soundwork everyday as long as the lockdown continued, and at time of print, that number as approaching 100 new soundworks, all created in isolation during the global quarantine. we’ve begun with just two of them, by annette krebs and ryoko akama, but we will continue exploring them over the coming weeks and months. we also heard new sounds from our old friend paulo raposo, old sounds from our old friend sawako, new sounds from our new friend pramukho rupan, a semi-old sound from our old friend keith de mendonca, and new sounds from two guys we’ve never met, but we’re sure they’re lovely fellows – hello rutger and bruno! all this mingled with our usual (but lockdown-free) aporee soundmaps selection of listener-chosen favorites.
