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.

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.
