this edition of framework:afield was produced in brooklyn, new york, by gill arno.  gill says:

framework:home:afield

The initial curiosity behind this sort of survey was to approach a range of ideas and feelings that come with the choice of living in a foreign country – far away from one’s birthplace and the country where his or her mother tongue is spoken… voluntarily removed from the day-to-day exchange with the people that one had grown up with and their mores. Each participant was asked to submit two field recordings: one deemed of a “familiar sound” and one of an “alien sound”. The definition of familiar and alien was left to the subjectivity of individual responses.

The following artists contributed their recordings:
Hitoshi Kojo (place of birth: Ibaragi, Japan/current residence: Hull, Canada), Jason Kahn (New York, NY, USA/Zürich, Switzerland), jgrzinich (Poughkeepsie, NY, USA/Mooste, Estonia) Marcone Galvani (Milan, Italy/Brooklyn, NY, USA), Richard Garet (Montevideo, Uruguay/New York, NY, USA), sawako (Nagoya, Japan/Brooklyn, NY, USA).
