this edition of framework:afield, entitled, ‘earscape: freeze’, has been produced in berlin, germany by architect, writer, sound artist and regular contributor d. l. lutz. producer’s notes:

“It does not get any colder than this… The world has frozen over, and you are standing in the middle of this wilderness – minus forty degrees, and plenty of strange noises around. Ice produces some of the purest and most intriguing sounds, some of them do not sound natural at all.

“We start and end that show with improvisations on ice instruments by a Norwegian jazzer. In-between, you hear thermal cracks on frozen lakes, calving glaciers, breaking icebergs, falling slowflakes, the howling of wind in glacier crevices, and also a couple of frost-resisting animals like seals, seabirds and whales surfacing in the Antarctic. Enjoy the journey to the coldest regions of the earth!”

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in germany by architect, writer, sound artist and regular contributor d.l. lutz: “This is heavy weather! You better wear your best outdoor gear – warm and windproof… All these recordings are about storms – and to capture the energy of air proves to be a difficult task, but there are great recordings, some of which I want to present to you. So I invite you to listen to window joints under air pressure, to staircases, creaking trees in forests, creaking sailing ships, to the howling songs in building scaffoldings, to flagpoles, lonely animals on unprotected meadows, slamming doors and the rude open sea… And I invite you to get lost in bad weather, while you comfortably sit in your armchair with a pot of hot tea.”

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in germany by architect, writer, sound artist and regular contributor d. l. lutz, and is entitled Earscape „Rainforest“. producer’s notes:

Earscape „Rainforest“

Welcome to the rainforest. It’s hot. It’s humid. It’s strange. But this is no normal rainforest. It’s an installation of technical objects fed with sounds of all sorts, thus pretending to be exotic animals. More precisely, it is Matt Rogalsky’s version of David Tudor’s composition “Rainforest”, displayed in a large empty water tank in Berlin. I was excited by the organic feel of the installation, so I recorded it and looked for other compositions and sounds that also blur the boundaries between the natural and the artificial. This is the result. As you listen, you can never be sure if you hear nature, processed nature or machines; some animals sound like computers, some computers sound like animals. What a strange world to visit… […]

Earscape „Industries“

This earscape is meant as a sound memorial to the questionable western thinking of progress that has spread worldwide despite all cultural differences. It captures industrial and technical noise, antique machinery and fully automated production lines, turbines and laboratories, active building sites and industrial ghost towns… […]

this seasonal edition of framework:afield has been produced in berlin by architect, writer, and sound artist d.l. lutz. his notes:

Earscape „Sacral“

Here we are, two weeks before Christmas. And this is why we will go to church and hear some „holy noise“, as R. Murray Schafer calls it. Churches are ritual spaces, and rituals always have an acoustical aspect. Maybe acoustics even dominate every ritual. Churches and organs are definitely built to impress acoustically. Michal Jacaszek from Poland, being fascinated by this aural atmosphere, has made field recordings inside the main churches of Gdansk and reworked them to compositions. I mixed these great sounds with my own field recordings from churches and bells in Germany, with music form Arvo Pärt, Arve Henriksen and others, and with excursions onto church towers and into religious realms further east. This earscape is quite musical and meant to be a soulful companion to the advent season. It is ended by a country gospel intonating „fill me with life anew“ for the beginning of a new year. So relax, light a candle and enjoy some holy noise! […]

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in germany by regular contributor d. l. lutz. notes from the producer:

Earscape:Stellar

In outer space, there is absolute silence – because of the lack of air that could carry sound waves. But it is very intriguing to imagine a music of the spheres, with the “chords” added by man’s attempts to enter this space: the harshness, coldness, absurdity, emptiness of the cosmos. Two main musical sources served as paths into this realm: Biosphere’s much underrated masterpiece “Autour de la Lune”, sampling MIR station sounds and snippets from a radio play of Jules Verne’s “From The Earth To The Moon” (1865), commissioned by Radio France Culture in 2003, and Marc Weidenbaum’s “Disquiet Junto Challenge” #89 dealing with Voyager One’s last signals before it disappeared from NASA’s radars, resulting in many individual musical answers from which I chose a couple of my favourites. Much of the noises heard are of technical nature, but there is also improv jazz, drones, radio excerpts, early computer music, all trying to illustrate man’s alienation when confronted with the cold light of stars. Have a good journey and return safely to mother earth!
