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:

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