i like this week’s show. i don’t have much more to say about it than that. after a framework introduction actually recorded for us by ben link collins (unlike last week’s intro, which i claimed was recorded by ben collins, but was actually recorded by barry cullin – can you see where i went wrong?), we begin our journey with sounds of interiors recorded by artists invited by eleanor cully, who then “placed a verse of [her] cuckoo song into each room and sent it back to each artist a month later… [she] embedded all five verses into the resonances of these rooms and spread them out across the album as a whole.”

cully’s cuckoo song mingled with sounds of fire and milk by steve roden, soundwalks from the footfalls 2 compilation, the latest online soundwork by nula, and recent listener-chosen favorites from the aporee soundmaps. a contemplative, wintry, warm edition, as we continue our worldwide cold weather (at least around these parts) lockdown.

#741: 2021.01.24 [alëna korolëva]

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in canada by alёna korolёva. producer’s notes:

What a relief to arrive at last in this new city. Your feet are restless, they take you across bridges and underneath construction sites, under the river even, where you embrace views that make you feel like you have ears all over your new body.

This hour-long travelogue grazes across sonic neighborhoods that might resemble Tbilisi, Batumi, Toronto, Havana, St. Petersburg, Ulyanovsk, Strasbourg, Marseille, Naples, Reggio Calabria, Lisbon and Barcelona. Or at least, the sound sources, the original copies, were first heard there.

we are back! it’s 2021, it’s COLD, the ground is white, and we are in full winter mode here at the framework temporary HQ. the heater is pointed at our toes, we’re typing with fingerless gloves on, and our glasses keep fogging up. but fear not! we are dedicated to bringing warm sounds to your ears throughout this new year!

sounds in this edition from both new discoveries (hayley suviste & lewis ashton) and old favorites (manja ristić & francisco meirino), along with sounds from the aporee maps from the US, austria, portugal, spain, and greece, and a framework introduction recorded for us by regular contributor barry cullen.
