a series of on-air errors (perhaps) this week: we think we possibly worked out last time we played her work that moltamole should be pronounced like mole-the-animal, but having grown up in a boston neighborhood with a strong latin american influence, we consistently pronounce it, without a second thought, like mole-the-glorious-mexican-sauce. so if we’re wrong we’re sorry. we also brazenly announced that capture’s recordings, delivered to us via their locations on the aporee maps, were made in toulouse, whereas, while we think that is where the artist is based, these recordings are very clearly from the mériadeck district of bordeaux. is that all? i’m sure we got something else wrong, but maybe no one noticed. we also heard the first of a few recent submissions from the ever-impressive unfathomless imprint (where we almost made the biggest mistake of all, accusing stéphane marin’s recordings of howler monkeys in the amazon of being south african hippos – luckily we caught that one and fired ourselves before it went to air), two new works from the flaming pines label (a series of realisations of a score by salomé voegelin, and an upcoming release by label boss kate carr), an unreleased work by james bailey, with which the only mistake we made was losing it the first time he sent it to us, a work by a.f. jones which is only being released for radio airplay and remix projects, the latest batch of listener-chosen favorites from the aporee soundmaps, and an intro by our most prolific contributor, keith de mendonca, making it inexplicable why we suddenly couldn’t remember (again!) if his name is pronounced men-don-TSA or men-don-KA. i guess it was just one of those weeks.

several IRL, paper and plastic, dropped off by a real live postman submissions in this show, newly arrived, although not entirely newly released; sonic rubbish (tarab’s in house imprint), rekem (a label run by old friend nicolas malevitsis), and sofa (who sent a handful of their releases last year, including that great one we played in edition #729 by vilde&inga) all released shiny discs that we made spin round really fast in this edition, alongside a few great new virtual releases for good measure (one released by the good people at flaming pines, then other self-released by our good friend manja ristić), all, genuinely all, streamable and buyable on bandcamp. also, the return of our aporee soundmaps segment (which we frankly just forgot to include last regular edition) and a framework introduction recorded for us in the united states by paul dickinson.

i love it when i discover that artists whose work i love know one another and are working together, as has happened with my discovery of yen-ting hsu’s collaborative recording documents with yannick dauby – 2 volumes of recordings from chiayi in southern taiwan. we’re exploring vol.1 in this edition, and we’ll come back for vol.2 some time in the coming months.

we’re also listening to some fine minimal textures on a new self-release by willem sannen, a short work on cronica electronica by miguel a. garcia, an unreleased work which can be heard on soundcloud by mathias guilbaud, a gem in the prolific output of canadian label empreintes digitals by roxanne turcotte (is anyone else reminded of totoro’s flute playing at the debut of her track les oiseaux de nias?), an audio portrait of the river in the hometown, the charles, by ana laura malmaceda, and a nice old-time mountain music intro recorded for us in athens, alabama (yes, there’s one there too) by ben link collins.

happy new year! we’ve had a refreshing few weeks off, but we’re back now with a full schedule of new material, guest producers, and plans for 2022. we’re getting off to a running start with our first show back, which began with a healthy dose of skepticism by a perhaps unwilling listener, before moving us through sounds from the uk, france, norway, the us, greece and saudi arabia.

this is our final show for 2021, and it comes with a small gift for you, dear listener – we’re making this week’s voiceover-free version of the show, usually reserved for our patreon supporters, available to everyone, just click the link above to enjoy this final mix of the year without all my babbling. we know many of you enjoy the dulcet tones of my whisky-soaked voicebox (if i’m lucky), but some of you may prefer to hear the sounds contributed by the amazing artists listed below without having to listen to me babble on about the weather and our bandcamp page. so – listen! enjoy! and happy holidays!

for our final mix of the year we’re taking another dip in to the possible moistures compilation, exploring the new release sent to us on an actual cd in the actual post (!) by annette krebs, enjoying some crackle and scratch by s.(tandard) grey, finally remembering to air two single unreleased works (they tend to get misplaced in the submissions folder) by ceclia tyrell and timo carlier, traveling the globe from out studio with the aporee soundmaps, and ringing out the year with a framework introduction recorded in taiwan by vince hancock.

well folks, we are approaching, but not quite yet arrived at, the end of our 2021 programming – we have one more edition of framework:afield next week (produced in the u.s. by ben link collins) and then one final regular edition the week after, and then we’ll be taking our much-needed holiday break, taking a few weeks to refresh our ears (and heat our studio – it’s a chilly -18C here this morning!) and coming back to you with new sounds on january 9th. as always, there are plenty of shows in the archive to keep you tided over – we’ve sure you haven’t heard all 639 of them – until we come back. but this week you can enjoy these great sounds, from a new discovery for us, the canadian sound artist dang., a new work from ian wellman, another wonderful release from the forms of minutiae label, and a glorious single-take recording at a frozen lake not too far from here in finland by till bovermann aka lfsaw. and we started it all off with a framework introduction recorded for us by regular contributor william denton.

we’ve been a fan of éric la casa’s work since he was half of syllyk back in the early 90’s – it’s as if his technique and aesthetic have developed along the same trajectories as our ears, and once again he doesn’t fail to impress with his new everyday unknown series of abstract sound constructions. they blended nicely with the geographic captures of nikki sheth (south africa), jeff gburek (bulgaria) and paula schopf (chilé). we topped it all off with sounds from italy, canada, russia and czechia from the aporee soundmaps, and an introduction full of hailstones from northern ireland.
