this week’s edition of framework:afield, entitled ethnography in passing by, has been produced in switzerland, with recordings made in the united states, by stefan paulus. for more of his work see https://noWHERE-NOWhere.org. producer’s notes:

Actually, the title should be “ethnography in cycling through”, because the following field recordings and conversation snippets were created on a bicycle journey across the USA, on the way from Miami, Florida to Oakland, California. You can listen to the noises of tent cities in the heart of the strongest economy on earth, but also to the stories of people struggling to survive on these edge of civilization and trying to support their community.

The idea behind this field research was to hear about the community life, the social and political organization, cultural expressions of the social spaces and to capture the stories of people I meet accidentally on the road. These were mainly pedestrians, people living on the streets or in the bushes, activists and people who invited me for a coffee or a beer.

spring is finally springing here in southern estonia, so, frankly, we want to get this playlist written and published as quickly as possible so we can get outside. this time of year represents that wonderful spring window where it’s warm and dry, but the biting insects have not yet made their entrance. to be honest, i’d be perfectly happy if it never got warmer than 15C.

so – the sounds are great, and you should go check them out. impressive geophone recordings by patrick quinn, concusssive meditations by amma arteria, electromagnectic attacks  by joe colley, immersive collaborations by elif yalvaç, aporee map sounds from czech republic, belgium, uk, and canada, and a feedbacky pet monitor introduction recorded in the u.s. by ben link collins.

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in the uk by paul mallatratt. for more of his work see https://paulmallatratt.bandcamp.com. producer’s notes:

As well as sitting still and listening to the world exist around me, I sometimes like to walk about, especially when a route might take me through differing soundscapes, like woodlands and towns, parks and busy traffic. I like the contrast between the tranquillity of a quiet, calming space and the urgency and chaos of the modern world. This soundwalk mixes all these together and features walks through towns, cities, parks, supermarkets, woodlands and beaches in England, Scotland and Germany. Take a seat, relax, and open your ears.

this is an all-woman iwd show with an intentionally global focus. the majority of works that you are about to hear are contributions produced by members of female pressure as well as artists affiliated with framework radio. All of the pieces reflect unique perspectives of motherhood, place, home, diaspora, endangered environments, freedom, absence, and longing; exploring sonically, listening with attention and sculpting works that transmit particular, individual positioning, observances and responses to auditory experiences by these women artists.

this edition of framework:afield, entitled soundings, has been produced in switzerland by jason kahn. for more of his work see https://jasonkahn.net/. producer’s notes:

The radio piece Soundings is an adaption of the book of the same name, which is a collection of 77 texts and field recordings, with each text being written in reaction to one of the recordings on the accompanying CD.

The idea here is to think about how sounds in our everyday lives trigger certain memories or images. And to explore this through the writing of these texts as a kind of field recording of our thoughts and sensations in relation to hearing these sounds again in their recorded form, frozen in time and disassociated from their original source.

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in france by pierre juillard. for more of his work see https://pierrejuillard.bandcamp.com. producer’s notes:

Bonjour, i’m Pierre Juillard from France. I’m working in ecology and protection of biodiversity and I’m a musician and audio-naturalist as well. This programme called ‘unknown languages’ was recorded between March and September 2022, in the east of Burgundy. All these places are located around my home : large forests, dry meadows, cliffs and wetlands.

This piece summarizes hours of lonely hikes, waiting, contemplation, observation, silence, restrained breathing … and enhances the biodiversity of this area full of rich natural sites, but highly threatened by human activities as everywhere else in the world.

I collected these recordings for an educational project with the aim of raising awareness of biodiversity of sound and encouraging the listener to discover for himself. It was also a beautiful deep listening experience for me, focused on the acoustics of places and the discovery of new languages.

You will hear the songs of some of the more representative insects, birds and amphibians of this region. No processed sounds here. Have a good listen.

in between the last playlist and this one we have, at long last, released our most recent issue of framework:seasonal, our newly revived series of fund-raising compilations. framework:seasonal is one of the ways we keep the program going, while at the same time hopefully bringing ears to some extremely worthwhile works and artists from the field recording community. if you’d like to see the program continue, and you’d like to support the artists whose work makes it possible, go on over to our bandcamp page and check it out!

framework:seasonal issue #12, winter 2023, features 5 tracks by 6 artists (2 solo projects, and 2 duos) who have all contributed to the program over the years but who (bar one) are making their first appearance on a framework editions release. go have a listen to new, unreleased works by alëna korolëva, blanc sceol (stephen shiell & hannah white), annette krebs & peter cusack, and samuel kudjodzi. and if you like it, buy it! we’ll be airing all the tracks over the next few regular editions, so tune in to editions #834 & #836 to hear them on the air.

in this edition we’ve once again got new faces and old friends, with a first listen to works by museleon and sukitoa o namau, and the return of old friends eamon sprod (aka tarab), david prescott-steed (who hasn’t been heard in the show since 2013!) and ian wellman.
