it was only one regular edition back that we rattled on and on at you about our 600th (!) show, but landmarks come and go, and that one is already nearly forgotten, as we now, only two weeks later, hit the next one. this week FRAMEWORK TURNS 15. we broadcast our first show, with our then-co-host and co-founder joel stern, from the original denmark street studios of resonance fm in london, on june 14th, 2002. we featured works by alan lamb, dale lloyd, toy.bizarre, toshiya tsunoda, michael prime, the quiet american, jon tulchin, illusion of safety, aaron bergman, marcelo radulovich, josh russell, and (ahem) murmer. they all sounded great, but we’re horrified to admit that we, ourselves, sounded like squeaky schoolchildren (well, i did anyway; joel retained a somewhat greater composure). this has been online for some time now already, but we’ve more or less kept schtum about it, so you almost certainly missed it. but now, for your listening (dis)pleasure, we offer you, transferred from the original wax cylinder recording, framework #001:

http://www.frameworkradio.net/2002/06/001-2002-06-14/

meanwhile, we feel slightly confident that we appear at least mildly less rattled here in #602, featuring lots of great new and less-new sounds by artists whose work we definitely had not yet had the pleasure of hearing 15 years ago, and whose work we certainly would not have had the opportunity to hear if it weren’t for the longevity of a community project like framework; we have it to thank for so many vibrations making their way to our ears that never would have found their way there otherwise.

well, very quietly in the night, without much fanfare, we’ve hit another milestone. #600. we’ve been doing this so long that we’ve managed 600 shows, practically 600 hours of framework radio. that’s 25 straight days – you could lock yourself in a room for almost a month and listen to framework radio non-stop. will you? we hope not. but that’s up to you. and what’s more, #600 falls very close to our 15th birthday – edition #1 broadcast on resonance fm in london on june 14th, 2002. so in just over 2 weeks we’ll be piling the candles onto something sweet and singing quietly to ourselves.[…]
a very dense show for our 600th, featuring new physical releases by two very good friends of the program, mr. eamon sprod, aka tarab, and mr. scott sherk, aka scott sherk. also two newcomers to our airwaves, carlos casos and gavin prior, sounds from the aporee soundmaps, and a framework introduction recorded for us in australia by another long-time contributor, jeremy hegge.

last sunday, may 7th, was international dawn chorus day, so we thought it appropriate to begin this show (after our introduction recorded in mexico city by new contributor dillon vessels) with a dawn chorus recording from that day made right here in south estonia by visiting irish nature recordist fintan o’brien. i had the pleasure of meeting up with fintan last week, and you can expect to hear more from him, including an edition of framework:afield, sometime in the not too distant future. plenty of recordings from estonia (and elsewhere) on his soundcloud page – this is his 5th or 6th recording visit here over the last 6 or 7 years.

meanwhile, another handful of actual physical releases this week, including the latest offering from long, long-time favorite of the program, eric la casa, as well as new sounds from dave phillips, luca forcucci, and novi_sad. […]

we’ve been doing a bit of traveling lately – our last regular edition was sent to you from narva, in northern estonia, and this one is sent to you from perruel-sur-andelle, in northern france. the movement has been making us slightly forgetful though, and as we forgot to mention one of the artists in our last regular edition, so we forgot to mention the producer(s) of this week’s beautiful framework introduction, regular contributor to our framework:afield series with his earscape programs, d.l. lutz, with his colleague solara shiha. he had this to say about their recording:

For [this intro], I engaged a friend of mine, being a female artist and architect from Syria living and working in Berlin. We are standing on a building site in Berlin – concrete walls and ceilings dripping from a nightly rainfall. The drops also fall on scaffolding, making this metallic „cling cling“. […]

coming to you from the northern estonian city of narva this week, as i begin a new project in what remains of the old krenholm factory complex on the russian border. i’ll be sharing some sounds and images from that soon. but in the meantime, the playlist ended up rather long and complex this week, so much so that i embarrassingly forgot to mention one of the artists in the actual show, so a big apology to chris lynn and impulsive habitat for leaving them out, as the qixia release provided an essential backbone for this program, and comes highly recommended. you can find it for download at the links below in the playlist. many other (all?) of this week’s releases are also available as downloads, so this is a good time to show your support and check them out.

i’ll start this playlist with a correction and an apology: this show featured a lovely self-released work by christopher j. morris entitled listening in the sunroom, which i inexplicably announced as being by richard bentley, perhaps in anticipation of his lovely framework introduction which we’ll be featuring in an upcoming show, or more likely just because i’m an airhead. sorry, christopher! i can’t change the audio that went out on the air, but i can at least apologise here and make sure the playlist is correct.

also this week: new sounds from the unfathomless label – two releases originating from right here in the baltics, by sala, from lithuania, and a tour of the old aldaris brewery in latvia by rihards bražinskis & raitis upens; a self-released cd by newcomer to our airwaves, grey frequency; an upcoming online release by tobias hellqvist; and a framework introduction recorded for us by mode analogue, who provided this enticing description:

it has been recorded in october 2016 on the cambodian island KOH RONG SAMLOEUM at the end of the rainy season on a beautiful stretch of coast being called the Sunset Beach. during this time the weather was still very rough and therefore the sound of the waves seems to be ever present. however, this was the first day since the end of the dry season when a little barge could approach this side of the island close enough to deliver urgently needed supplies and material which is usually carried by locals on a at times demanding jungle path during this time of the year.

an appeal and an apology to start off this playlist – first of all, as i mentioned several times during this show, the track in the playlist titled melatonina is a mystery to me. even when submissions are unlabeled, or i misfile them, i can always track them down through emails or chat messages or download history. but the origins of this one have eluded me – i only know it’s title, and it’s been waiting quite a while to be identified and aired, so i thought i’d better just do it and ask you, dear listeners: did you send me this? let me know if you did, and i will add your name to the playlist and apologise profusely.

and speaking of apologies, here’s one more: i mistakenly announced dominique laloux’s beautiful aporee contribution recorded in togo as ‘anonymous’, when in fact his name is all over it. please accept my humblest, dominique.

otherwise a fault-free show made up of several unreleased online submissions, a new digital release of video game appropriated soundscapes on the gruenrekorder label, and one of the four sides of jason kahn’s latest double-lp release. all this began with a framework introduction recorded by good friend of the program jonathan coleclough, just a few hundred meters from where i’m sitting now, during a recent visit of his here to us in estonia.

a long track list this week; i’m not sure how we got to 19 individual tracks without sounding too crowded, but somehow it happened. we heard several releases from the taâlem 3″ cdr series, in celebration of their relaunch of their physical releases; and we heard a beautiful new 10″ release from drone records’ substantia innominata sublabel from two great friends of the program, yannick dauby and hitoshi kojo. several online and/or unreleased works also featured, another selection of sounds from the aporee soundmaps, and a 2nd intro recorded amidst the recent protests in bucharest by new contributors mara maracinescu and dorin moldoveanu.

wow, the playlist got long this week; i suppose it was a pretty dense show. i got excited to showcase a number of actual hold-them-in-your-hand physical vinyl LPs that have recently arrived here at framework headquarters: 3 from the great fragment factory label, and another from our new friends in moscow at kotä records. and following that stream of consciousness, we also heard some unrelated moscow sounds from a free online release, along with sounds from germany, japan, czechia, taiwan, and from the recent protests in romania.

possibly our first ever intro recorded in china, along with sounds from peru, taiwan, greece, chile, hong kong, the united kingdom, italy, slovenia, denmark, and the minor outlying islands of the united states. phew, quite a journey! almost all the releases in this week’s show are available as downloads, many of them for free, so browse the links below to hear more.

this week’s show contains some new works alongside some older pieces dug out of the submission archives. many of the works this week are available as free downloads from the artist or label, so if you like it, check the links below in the playlist. all this began with a framework introduction featuring petanque players in a small village in brittany, france, sent in by regular contributor barry cullen. along with donations, we also need intros! so why not send both!

happy new year, folks! we’re back with the start of our 2017 broadcasting season, just as winter properly descends on us here in estonia. as temperatures dipped down to almost -20C i found myself unconsciously gravitating towards summer sounds: lom’s soundscapes of summer release by izabela dłużyk and green field summer storms release by chris lynn. also some seaside sounds in our intro and our aporee soundmaps selections; and we’re pretty sure roosters can’t crow like that in -20C. we also enjoyed some more abstract ‘field recording’ techniques, as ariel guzik’s long-string cordiox constructions resonate with the ambient sounds of their environments.

well folks, we’ve arrived at the end of another year of framework programming, our 15th, to be precise! we finish this year with a bit of self-promotion, but who can say i don’t deserve it? this week, tomorrow, in fact (from the time of my writing, not necessarily your reading) my new album, my first solo vinyl lp in over 15 years of releasing music, is released to the public by the great gruenrekorder record label, who avid listeners of the show will undoubtedly be very familiar with. songs for forgetting is almost 10 years in the making, and i am very, very excited that it is finally seeing the light of day, and i hope you are too. copies of the vinyl are available from gruenrekorder or directly from me, and the label also has a cheaper digital download version available if you’re not a fan of the vinyl (and i know some of you are not). i hope you’ll listen to the album, and let me know what you think!

so my own horn was tooted alongside some other superb releases, another extremely timely one (we don’t even have a physical copy yet) being stéphane marin’s unfathomless debut. also some older works: a self-released jeph jerman cdr from 2009, another unfathomless release (this one by philip sulidae) from 2014, and some self-released mike kramer works that span a few years, all available on his bandcamp page.  all begun with an introduction recorded on elephanta island in india by regular contributor martin clarke.
