this week’s edition of framework:afield has been produced in the uk by dallas simpson, featuring recordings made around charmey and gruyère switzerland. notes from the producer:

The Alpine Cattle Descent at Charmey in Canton Freiburg, Switzerland is an annual festival parade celebrating the return of the cattle to the lowlands after spending the Summer up the mountains.

Sonically it is an exciting event. The cacophonous clanging of multitudes of cowbells as groups of cattle are paraded through the streets, sits against the prolonged drone of Alpenhorns and the flapping of the National flag hoisted aloft by the obligatory flag waver. Wandering around the festival streets gives a continual spatial mix of people, music and sounds. An a capella choir sings traditional folk songs while to one side we hear the rustic clang of the blacksmiths anvil as he gives live demonstrations of his craft.

But up in the mountains there is a serene silence punctuated by distant orchestras of cattle, diving aircraft and a little improvisation with found metal poles and a ski lift landing pad constructed of hollow drainpipes.

There are exciting spatial soundscapes to be heard here at both ends of the dynamic spectrum and ideal for binaural recording. Headphones essential! […]

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in vancouver, usa by john f. barber, and is entitled transect: london. for more information see http://www.radionouspace.org/john.

producer’s notes:

Transects is a sound art project investigating ways of sampling sounds along a path through a particular space or place. The desired end result is to promote immersive narrative collages of sounds that represent that place or space, all best experienced through listening.

My practice of creating transects draws on the features and affordances of soundscapes, soundwalks, and sound maps. Soundscapes are the multiple, overlapping, sounds one might hear at a particular location. Soundwalks promote listening to a soundscape by walking to sound sources. Sound maps plot sound sources at specific locations and promote listening to targeted sounds within a soundscape. Transects sample particular or characteristic sounds along a path through a space or place, which, when combined, provide a mix or collage of the soundscape. Learn more about soundscapes, soundwalks, and sound maps. […]

song of the unvanquished

second reinterpretation of the sound-design in satyajit ray’s apu trilogy, focusing on the films aparajito (the unvanquished) (1956) & andapur sansar (the world of apu) (1959), with music by ravi shankar and sound by durgadas mitra, bishnu paridha, ranajit singha roy, satyen chatterjee, kali das, and robin sengupta. remixed and reimagined by matthew swiezynski.

the transfer/conveyance, mixing, and layering of the soundtrack was guided along the pathways of the sky with attention to these simple ideas :
– reoccurring moments of sound/music
– structural patterns, both simple and complex, broken and unbroken
– repetition used in noticeable ways and invisible ways
– errors or imperfections in editing highlighted and often times exaggerated
– creating trance moments to get lost in, and heighten awareness to what proceeds and follows
– attention to fuzz, scratches and other virtues of 35mm film
– removal of dialogue except for tiny moments that are more musical than narrative

this seasonal edition of framework:afield has been produced in berlin by architect, writer, and sound artist d.l. lutz. his notes:

Earscape „Sacral“

Here we are, two weeks before Christmas. And this is why we will go to church and hear some „holy noise“, as R. Murray Schafer calls it. Churches are ritual spaces, and rituals always have an acoustical aspect. Maybe acoustics even dominate every ritual. Churches and organs are definitely built to impress acoustically. Michal Jacaszek from Poland, being fascinated by this aural atmosphere, has made field recordings inside the main churches of Gdansk and reworked them to compositions. I mixed these great sounds with my own field recordings from churches and bells in Germany, with music form Arvo Pärt, Arve Henriksen and others, and with excursions onto church towers and into religious realms further east. This earscape is quite musical and meant to be a soulful companion to the advent season. It is ended by a country gospel intonating „fill me with life anew“ for the beginning of a new year. So relax, light a candle and enjoy some holy noise! […]

notes from the producer:

For the last few years, Yannick Dauby & Chien-Chang Yang have been teaching a class about “Soundscape & Sound Art” at National Taiwan University, Graduate Institute of Musicology. These courses are a pretext to engage a group of students, coming from different departments, to experience listening and field recording and to collaborate on sound projects concerning local environment in Taipei.

This year 2016, the students focused on the area of Southern Wanhua called Dongyuan, Shaoxing community and Fuyang Eco-Park. They spent a few months collecting sounds and building some pieces retracing their perceptions of these places. […]

SOUNDLIFE CHAPTER 4: INTERMISSION (NOISEPHASE)
Chapter Four from Soundlife of Slavek Kwi, radio-series

This is fourth instalment of another soundOrganism destined for Framework radio. These Soundscapes contains sequences triggered by my very ordinary and extraordinary soundEnvironments, which includes also creative-process-fragments from Sounday*s and spoken or sang thoughts.

Today, 5.11.2016, was my first Sounday* since July. I relocated then to eastern Clare, closer to western Atlantic coast of Ireland. We love it here. For the moment we are spending a lot of time renovating and updating house. We have here even separated studios from converted double-garage, wonderful prospects! […]

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in the united states by thomas park, aka mystified. for more information see his website at http://www.mystifiedmusic.com.

notes from the producer:

I call these sounds a ‘Music Of Poverty’– that seems apt, given that they were recorded in my low-rent apartment in South Saint Louis many years ago, when I had little money– and more time to record. Taken individually or mixed, I feel these recordings convey some sense of place, and of lifestyle. They also capture quite literally some of the peculiar sounds I found at Brannon and Chippewa. Listen, and imagine you are alone in the city, and poor– with only the leaky pipes as your companion.

around the world in 57 rains is a trip around the world and the thousands of different sounds of the rain. the trip starts in barcelona, where i live, and it ends in the same place six months later. this travel goes through europe, africa, america, oceania, and asia gathering all kind of rains, from the subtle sound of a few scarce raindrops to the furious noise of the storm. the rumble of rain over earth, sand, ice, metal, concrete, gravel, wood, grass… rain is always different, but always the same.

Harbor Study

Harbor Study examines three different planes of sound throughout the Baltimore Inner Harbor area and the micro sounds unique to each location. The recordings titled “Earth”and “Water” employ the use of granular sampling. This form of sound synthesis captures small samples or “grains” of a live audio signal and splits them into tiny one- to fifty-millisecond pieces and plays them back in real time. This process acts as a sort of microscope for the ears that focuses the listener’s attention to the minutiae comprising each unique sound space. […]
