two new discoveries this week, along with two old favorites – we finally got to michael allen z prime’s bioelectrical music, his 3 disc (plus one bluray) retrospective of 30 years of work with the bioelectric signals of plants and mushrooms, plus the latest work from longtime contributor s. grey/standard grey/christopher olson, a series of geofon recordings at home in nara, japan. these sounds accompanied the wonderful works of lucie vitková, who documented material interactions and improvisations inside several caves in the czech republic, and kris kuldkepp, a new-to-our-ears estonian artist (based in germany) working with sound and technology. our aporee soundmaps selections this week too us to the u.s., slovenia, spain and mexico. and all this began with a framework introduction recorded for us in nottingham, uk by lee thompson (aka dogs versus shadows).

this edition has been produced by israeli-irish artist and activist meira asher, and was originally part of her 22 hour program sonic voyage of resistance for the radio art zone project, which aired in luxembourg in september 2022.

please note: this program has been scheduled to air at this time since june of this year, long before the events of october 7th and their aftermath. producer’s notes:

From October 7 2023 onwards the entire world has seen one brutal example of life in Palestine/Israel. Let me introduce you to another example; one which is not spoken about, hardly on any media. It is, literally, an everyday occurrence. Day in, day out, quietly exploding, away from the world’s ears.

Every morning, a few of the Jordan Valley Activists arrive at the shepherds homes in the Jordan valley and accompany them for a few hours as they go out to graze. The activists’ presence provides a measure of security against the Israeli settlers harassment and the arbitrary behavior of the occupation army.

The Palestinian shepherds community of Hamra is threatened by violent Israeli settlers on a daily basis. Ethnic cleansing happens constantly at the Jordan Valley and the West Bank. The shepherd’s calls heard on this show might be the very last ones to be heard there because he had to flee to the city, to protect his family and the herd.

lots of mixed works in this edition – bipolar explorer’s guitars, thollem & jacek chmiel’s improvisational instruments, daina dieva’s electronic drones – but all use field recordings somewhere in the mix, so here they are, along with jana winderen’s underwater sounds and listener-chosen favorites from the aporee soundmaps, from slovakia, spain, south korea and greece. this all began with a framework introduction recorded for us in zenikow, germany by jo.

this edition of framework:afield is the second of a series of four entitled amazonia revisited, airing over the second half of 2023. this episode has been produced in by edbrass brasil and is entitled water memory. for more information see https://amazoniarevisited.com. producer’s notes:

These radio programs emerged as the fruit of the creative residency that brought together four sound artists – Thelmo Cristovam (BR), EdBrass (BR), Rodrigo Ramos (BR) and Dave Phillips (Switzerland), from the sound material captured in 2006 by Thelmo Cristovam and in 2011 by Dave Phillips, both in the Amazon rainforest. The sound records of 2006, digitized and restored in the first phase of this project by Thelmo Cristovam, now resurface revisited and reimagined in the creation of the pieces in this series.

Program 2: Water Memory – by Edbrass Brasil
This is a fictional “memory book” constructed from the shared field recordings. The first part uses the work of purifying water sources in the Amazon of 2022. In the foreground, listen to the sounds produced by the machine during the purification process, which, is subdivided into several other steps, the understanding of which escapes us. The collaborators were then asked to submit sounds, objects or textures that reinforce the idea of an unknown technology.
