several recent arrivals that i’m really enjoying here at the moment: his first appearance on our airwaves, id m theft able’s no was, if i understood correctly, a live on-air radio performance, using electronics and elements of the studio itself (field recording? why not?) which was created over the course of the recent u.s. election night (which is as close as you’ll ever see framework to being political). and kiyoharu kuwayama (aka lethe) has produced one of those very rare things – a release that sounds beautiful while also being a beautiful object: a lathe-cut clear 10″ vinyl record in a hand-painted sleeve, a reminder as to why we shouldn’t turn our backs on physical releases. we also partake of a series of recordings from an australian cricket ground (martin kay), some environmental-instrumental duets (tamtam), a work from the recent radio revolten radio art festival (absolute value of noise), and an intro recorded in the united arab emirates featuring, not playing children, but white-handed gibbons.

we try to make space for all the (appropriate) submissions we receive on our airwaves, but the pile of cds in our studio keeps getting taller, and the folder of files on our hard drive keeps getting bigger. of course we’ll never succeed in playing everything, especially since we tend to focus on only 3 or 4 releases per show, but please know, we do try, and we never throw anything anyway! as evidence of that, we present this week’s show, featuring one submission from 2014, and one from, wait for it, 2005! ok ok, it’s not really a submission from 2005, but it’s a release from 2005, submitted to us a few years later, but regardless, it’s been waiting a long time. so if you’ve submitted material in the past and it hasn’t yet made it into a show, please don’t be offended, and certainly don’t be disheartened – send us a little reminder to say you’re still waiting and listening, or send us something newer instead, and we WILL get to it.

no sooner have we begun describing estonian autumn than winter hits with a bang – october 25th and the ground is already white with snow! will it last is the next question, perhaps autumn will return…

meanwhile our aporee soundmaps segment provides us with some decidedly un-wintery sounds this week, with south african dawn choruses, australian spring winds, american wildlife… we are also following an unusual boat, inhabited by the two artists who are kg augenstern, on a trip from berlin to paris, which has been decked out with long antennae (‘tentacles’) to ‘play’ the bridges that it passes under along the way. and we return to an older work that we never got to by one of our favorite artists, as mark vernon presents us his static cinema. we also sample the first sounds to land on our airwaves from belarus, from the haze netlabel, some collaborative sounds by peter kutin, florian kindlinger and christina kubisch, and a documentation of a performance in poznan, poland by uro ruro, recorded by monika pich.

autumn is falling here in southeast estonia: leaves are no longer green and frost is coming. lots to do to prepare for winter – apples to gather, firewood to stack, last mushrooms to hunt… autumn prevails in this week’s show, if not literally in the recordings, then somehow in the mix. stay warm and enjoy.

mode analogue starts us off with a wonderful framework introduction recorded in cambodia; alan courtis, from argentina, has collaborated with the american artist cyrus pireh to extract sounds from a bottle of malbec wine; mblackwell constructs a collage of his spanish field recordings; jana irmert presents her debut album of field recordings and vocal textures; dawn scarfe contributes her chapter to simon whetham’s corollaries series of collaborative works from estonia; michael gebel brings us some found sounds and moments from his immediate environment; and the aporee soundmaps provide us with another set of recent favorites, including our first ever recording from the united arab emirates.

settling back in after our summer break, this is our first regular edition since july. some lovely recent releases, including two of flaming pines’ latest set of tiny portraits, a collection of compositions made from recordings of the historical machines at bletchley park in the uk (matt parker’s the imitation game), a stunning single field recording sent to us by new contributor world listener, and a dense and complex framework introduction recorded for us by ami wilson, aka kassia flux, who has this to say about it:

…a blend of servo motors and vacuum relays from electron microscopes, liquid nitrogen dewars (pouring and clanging), rotary pumps for glow discharge, and a centrifuge. I use the microscopes to look at tiny motors that propel the swimming filaments of archaea and bacteria for studies in evolution. […]

so, this is our last show before our annual summer hiatus – we’re taking the month of august off to rest and recharge our ears (and pick mushrooms). we’ll be back with the first new show of the autumn season on sunday, september 4th. in the meantime, to fill the gap, maybe now is the time for you to start playing around with our experimental eternal streaming players, which are incomplete and not up to date, but will still play you a random selection of past framework shows forever if you press play. just click players in the menu above.

but before you do that, enjoy this one last fling, digging back into the to-play pile for some discs that have been waiting some time. so sit back and enjoy them, and we’ll see(/hear) you in september! […]

the summer schedule pushes on, as we return from one road trip and begin preparing for the next. we should start preparing you, dear listeners, for our annual summer break: as usual, we will be taking the month of august off from new programming to recharge our batteries and our ears. still several shows left before that happens, though, so fear not. along with several regular editions you can look forwards to framework:afield editions produced by blanca rego and jason sloan, and our annual observance of world listening day. in the meantime you can sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s collection of sounds.

this show constitutes something of a travel diary – on june 9th i had the privilege of traveling to hamburg, germany to experience and perform at the blurred edges festival. i took an extra few days after my own performance to see some others and meet some old friends (and make some new ones) and i came home with a nice collection of sounds (from other artists as well as my own recordings). i have built this show from a mixture of the sounds i received as gifts (some by people present, some not), other releases by people i spent time with there, or, in the case of the intro, a sound i recorded myself. there were a lot of folks involved, so this show is quite dense, but i think the density reflects the whirlwind few days spent amongst great people.

all the fives this week – that won’t happen again until the controversial edition #666 sometime in 2019, if we make it that far. a long, long list of great sounds for this edition, but we’ve got a few other things to mention first: this week is wgxc’s (broadcasting in the upper hudson valley, new york state, usa) annual pledge drive. wgxc makes amazing radio, and they are our only fm partner station in the u.s., so they really deserve your support. if you value hearing things like framework on fm(!) go and show them you care:

a long playlist this week, and already a little late, so i’ll try to be brief. several physicals, 2 cds from yannick dauby’s kalerne label, a limited cdr version of an online release by jonáš gruska, and a very beautiful (and beautifully packaged) cd by giovanni lami (sounds recorded to, buried on, and subsequently dug up and recovered from cassette tape). also an unreleased submission by monikapich, and several more sounds from the aporee soundmaps.

this week one of our favorite radio stations – certainly our favorite station that we’re not aired on – kfjc, in los altos hill, california, broadcast a 4-hour special focusing on framework radio and my solo work as murmer. dj abacus finch played lots of sounds from framework editions releases, and also played this entire edition as part of his show. so finally, framework has been aired on kfjc! the whole thing is available for streaming from their archives, which was be found here:

http://www.kfjc.org/broadcast_archives/index2.php

look for the hours from 2-6pm on may 23rd, hosted by abacus finch, and you’ll hear us. […]

many fine sounds this week as spring springs quite manically here in southeast estonia. feels like just yesterday the last snows were melting, and now it’s 25C and the lawn needs to be cut. so save this show for cool evening listening – for now, go outside! […]
