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.

this edition has been produced in baltimore, maryland in the united states by jason sloan. for more information on his work see http://www.jasonsloan.com. notes from the producer:

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. […]

#554: 2016.05.29 [matthew swiezynski]

this edition, entitled urge along the pathways of the sky and the first of a 3-part series, has been produced in portland, oregon by matthew swiezynski, whose last name i actually know how to pronounce, as completely coincidentally we worked at a cinema together in cambridge, massachusetts in 1996. isn’t it a small world?

matthew, purveyor of the great invisible birds record label, and member of projects such as ingenting kollektiva and community of light, had this to say about this edition:

Urge Along the Pathways of the Sky; being a 57 minute sound experience, obsessively investigating Satyajit Ray’s film Pather Panchali (first in The Apu Trilogy from the year 1955) as source material, with a concentration on sound design and field recording elements from the film. Music by R. Shankar, sound recording by Bhupen Ghosh, Samir Ghosh and Durgacharan Mitra. Mixed by Matthew Swiezynski of the Ingenting Kollektiva. Includes rain, elements, birds, night sounds, trains, fuzz, drone, interrupted music, and speech fragments. Next installment will be the 2nd and 3rd in The Apu Trilogy.

this edition of framework:afield is the first of a multi-part series produced in ireland by slavek kwi, aka artificial memory trace, entitled soundlife. for more information see http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com. notes from slavek:

ARTIFICIAL MEMORY TRACE
presents
SOUNDLIFE CHAPTER 1:
PROPAGANDA, FRAGMENTATION AND CONFUSION (IN MANY LAYERS)

Since I became a father, my immediate sound environment and its perception changed rather dramatically. Also relation to the time, before perceived as basically amorphous entity – nowadays became a moment with very definite boundaries. My week is composed from Sounday (if lucky Sounday with “s” on the end) and the other Days (always with “s”). My Soundays are increasingly more and more dense. In every sense. Sometimes I am so exhausted that I am sleeping first half of my Sounday hoping the second half-day will be dedicated to Sounds, which means: exclusively to my Sounds and in association with cherished collaborations with my fellow Soundpeople.
