thanks
to all of
you who came down to conway
hall on friday, making advent-garde
an enormous success! initial estimates are that we had upwards of
1000 people come to show their support for resonance! two rooms
of music were packed, the bar was drunk dry and sales of the
resonancefm benefit cds went well. nonetheless, i do have some
copies of the framework 2003 cd left and available (i'm asking
for a recommended donation of £10, post-paid). i will be
dealing with them upon my return from a trip home to the states for the
holidays (will be back on new year's eve) - if you'd like to put your
name down for a copy drop me a note and i'll add you to my list.
here's the playlist for the disc:

the

.jpeg of a traycard design that didn't end up getting printed (in case
you want to print it out yourselves and transfer the whole package to a
jewel case).
anyway,
the
show. i prerecorded this edition friday morning so i
could be at conway
hall; i also prerecorded the
next one (on the 26th) as i will still be away. so perhaps a
slightly early morning feel to both of them. this edition
featured a mix of works from two new releases by mnortham,
several tracks from a great cd by jason kahn, and a few
more revisits, this time to the heatworks cd from a few months
back, and another one of steve peters' sight specifics
pieces. the 26th's edition is a focus on
italy
's s'agita recordings - a
full hour of recent releases on this small cdr label, as well as some
older works from the pseudonym of the label's founders, logoplasm.
i'll
send
out
a

for
that

a
couple of new
releases from bernhard guenter's trente oiseaux label this
week, and a return visit from several of our favorites of recent
history: quiet american, rob mullender and janek
schaefer. we also featured material from two fellow resonance
fm program makers, viv corringham and john wynne, and
polish artist pawel grabowski, who impressed us last week with
his live set at the red rose club.
now
hopefully
none of you will be tuning in to our next show - or none of you here in
london , at
least - as
it is on the same night as advent-garde, resonance fm's
free holiday benefit concert at conway
hall. framework will air as
normal, but
it will be a prerecorded edition (it will be recorded that morning), as
i, along with all good londoners, will be at the event. i have
been asked to provide 'interval soundscapes,' which will be untreated
field recording collages, regularly throughout the evening, so if you
like your phonography come down and show your support! further
details at the end of this mail.

also, resonance fm is producing a limited framework 2003
cd - highlights from the year's broadcasting which will be
available as a fund-raiser for resonance fm at our winter benefit
coming up in december (for which i will also be providing untreated
sound collages). any leftovers after the benefit will be
available via the resonance fm website in exchange for a minimum
donation, or email me if you'd like to get first consideration for any
leftover copies. details for both these events can be found

two
particularly
interesting projects this edition, amongst plenty of other great sounds
and a great nyc intro by gen ken montgomery
. the first is a 3"
disc of sounds recorded by rachel thompson and jonathan
zorn as part of a project called 50 sound stories + 466
decibel readings. the final product is a 2-sided map of
the twin cities - st paul and minneapolis, minnesota - one side of
which locates 50 selected favorite local sounds (20 if which
make up the cd) and tells their stories (and even suggests a number of
potential 'soundwalks'), and the other side of which maps the cities in
terms of their relative decibel readings taken throughout a grid of
their geographies. the map is part of a series of 'knowledge
maps' commissioned by the university
of minnesota
design institute as part of its twin
cities design celebration 2003. a fantastic project, great
package, and really nice sounds to boot!
the
second
project we featured was one of a series of radio-specific pieces by
american sound artist steve peters (whose book and cd here-ings
we featured earlier this year) called sight
specifics,
in which he invites people to 'choose a site they'd like to
visit and have them go their and record themselves describing that
place, speaking in any style of language they choose. i usually
then go there at another time to make my own field recordings, which
may or may not be electronically processed. then i combine those
sounds with their edited speaking to make an audio translation of the
visual and emotional experience of that place as filtered through the
perception of the participants.'
one
more
thing: it has come to my attention that one or two packages sent
to me over the past few months have disappeared in the post (a problem
undoubtedly exacerbated by the current postal strikes here in the
uk ). i
am
very careful to always contact people who have taken the effort to send
something in, even if i can't use the material or won't be able to fit
it into a show for quite some time, just to let them know their package
has arrived safely. if you've sent something and haven't heard
from me, please don't think it's been chucked in some pile in the
corner and will never be heard of again, but contact me and let me
know, and i can start hassling local post offices. things usually
don't completely disappear without a trace, but we do get a lot of mail
and some things do go missing...

first
off, i'm
excited to announce that framework has been included in resonance fm's
morning repeat schedule. Between 6am and 12 noon, the loop
of archive material that plays during our off-air time (1 am until
noon the following day) will be replaced with a regular schedule of
repeated material from the previous week's broadcasts. hence each
edition of framework will be rebroadcast at 11am
on the wednesday following live
airing, hopefully giving those of you in a less convenient time zone,
for instance, the chance to listen in. i will also try to get
playlists done and out before the repeat, so that if you see something
interesting, or some of your own material broadcast, you'll still have
a chance to catch the show. happy listening!
this
week we
began with an intro featuring my very own other mother annette
lissauer (thanks annette!), as well as a few tracks from a
compilation on vienna's transacoustic research label, and one
track from a fantastic 3" cd of electro-magnetic subway recordings by rob
mullender. we then moved on to our guests' proposition,
another offering from french sound artist jean-luc guionnet (groundfault,
afflux, etc), this time in collaboration with bertrand
denzler, improviser and co-member of their band hubbub.
on
his
previous
visit,
jean-luc
covered
the
resonance
studio
in
a
web
of
contact
mics,
and
performed
a live mix of local sounds and unheard
recordings made on his train voyage to the uk; this time he and
bertrand proposed a different sort of project: at 10am on the
morning of the broadcast the artists and their equipment arrived in
abney park cemetery, stoke newington, and set up a pair of stereo mics
inside the tower of the ruined chapel in the middle. a 34
minute recording was made of the cemetery's ambiance amplified by the
strange acoustics of this tower, punctuated by a series of improvised
'sound events' produced from varying distances and with various objects
by jean-luc and bertrand. this recording was then broadcast in
the evening, unheard, creating a very curious and mysterious
soundscape...

a
special 2 1/2
hour edition this week, featuring live performances by tore honore
boe, michael duch, their duo tacet ncv, and murmer.
sounds
produced
by
acoustic
laptops,
double
bass,
and
live
and
prerecorded
phonography.
many
thanks
to
everyone
who
tuned
in, and to those who made it down to one of our gigs in the
following week. the live sessions took place from 7:00
to 8:30 , followed by an
hour of our regular
format featuring...
several
long
pieces and quite a lot of mixing: osso exotico with big
city orchestra, daniel menche with janek schaeffer.
hopefully,
some
nice
contrasts.
i
forgot
to
mention
last
time
that on
the
5th
of
september,
last
friday,
which would have
been our regular slot, we took a week off to make way for
resonance's live broadcast of the london musician collective's 12th
annual festival - sorry if you were looking for us and couldn't
find us. our next edition will feature another visit from french
artist jean-luc guionnet, this time joined by collaborator bertrand
denzler.
i
am virtually
almost entirely and completely out of introductions, people! if
you'd be interested in recording an intro for an edition of framework,

we
have a
special edition of framework coming up this friday, incorporating the
clearspot slot directly before ours to end up with a 2 and 1/2 hour
framework special! this is in honour of a visit by norwegian
artists tore honore boe and michael duch, performing
both solo and in their duo as tacet ncv. i will join them
for a collaborative set with my own project, murmer, as
well. we will use the first 1 and 1/2 hours for the live
performances, keeping the usual framework slot in it's more traditional
record-spinning format, with the added benefit of tore and michael as
guest djs. this is the first of four events featuring tore
and michael, who will also be playing at sound 323, the bonnington
centre and hat on wall - full details below!
august
8th's
edition was granted an extra 1/2 hour by the programming gods, which
allowed us an extended mix of some new work by jonathan coleclough
with some rereleased work by asmus tietchens. this
followed new work (and an intro) by chris watson, some amazing
material on the antiopic label, and a sample of illusion of
safety's 20th anniversary release on new london
label ossos nossos.

this
edition was
held together with a web of vlf (very low frequency) recordings from
the second 'collection of earth's mysterious natural vlf radio
phenomena' released by stephen p. mcgreevy. these are
the stunning documents of earth's natural radio frequencies
captured by mcgreevy's custom-built receivers - amazingly organic
whistles, hums, crackles, rhythms, tones and drones. amongst this
web were interweaved sounds by german composer and radio artist michael
ruesenberg, steve roden, brandon labelle, and more,
all set off with a framework intro recorded for us by one of our
current favorite field recordists, toby paddock.
coming
up in a
few weeks time framework will be hosting a special live appearance by
norwegian musicians tore honore boe and michael duch,
both solo and in their duo incarnation as tacet ncv (and
performing some live experiments with yours truly as well). this
will take place during the clearspot slot ( 7:00-8:30pm
) immediately preceding our usual
slot on august 22nd, hence a special 2 1/2 hour
framework! tore and michael will also be playing several gigs in
london in the few days following their radio appearance - at sound
323, the bonnington centre and the hat on wall gallery
(where i will join them as well); i will send those dates and details
soon.
finally,
thanks
to all of you who came down to the first annual london.placard
headphone festival - it was a greater success than any of us could
have imagined, and we will definitely be doing it again!
this
friday's
edition will feature new work by jonathan coleclough, chris
watson, osso exotico and more; hope you can tune in!

we
spent most of
this edition focused on the two new compilations from phonography.org,
with
a
good
40-or-so
minute
mix
of
sounds
from
the
two
discs
(the
playlist
order
below
is
therefore the order in which the tracks were
begun). if you don't know, phonography.org is a discussion list
and resource site (http://www.phonography.org)
dedicated to
the
art
of
field
recording that
has
now
released
7
compilations:
5
(including
these
two)
which feature
exclusively
untreated
field recordings, and two which feature
composition using field recordings. if you trust my bias, these
are all highly recommended, do check them out!
we
also featured
an untreated recording by meri von kleinsmid, some new work by toyisha
tsunoda, as well as work by phil niblock, mendietan
and an intro recorded by omnid. i've just come back from
2 weeks in germany
with stacks of new sounds, so we'll
start working through those this friday. and there's one last
plug for a performance i'm involved with at hoxton hall (here
in london ) this week;
if you're
in town, please come down! and i'm still looking for new intro
submissions, details below...

began this
edition, after an intro recorded by mike shannon, with a mix of
tracks from several recent releases on the u.s. label groundfault:
eric cordier, christian renou (previously
known as brume), vertonen (a project by blake
edwards, who
runs the c.i.p.
record label, whose crawl unit release we featured last time)
and a collaborative cd between tidal, chaos as shelter
and igor krutogolov; some very complimentary sounds on these
releases! we then moved on to quite a mix of sounds, featuring sarah
peebles, a recent steve roden release and an older francisco
lopez piece. we gave away a cd as well: steve and
francisco's collaborative release on the french label fario, le
chemin
du
paradis, which we featured a while back, was snapped up
by harold schellinx, listening from vincennes
in france
. congrats! giving stuff
away is something we're going to try to do more regularly from now on,
so listen in if you can!
our
next edition
will feature the long-awaited next installments in the phonography.org
compilation series, along with some new work by toyisha tsunoda
and meri von kleinsmid. i'm also running low on intros,
so if you've been considering recording one but haven't got round to
it, now's the time! see below for instructions (and see below
that for a plug for a show i'll be doing in london
in a few weeks time. if you can
come down please say hello!).

an
intro from
the gentleman at erewhon records this week, followed by an excerpt from
a new favorite work of mine: 'air, surface and magnetic vibrations' by
toby paddock. this week also featured work by monique jean,
dallas simpson and old
favorite crawl unit (now recording under his own name, joe
colley). patrick and frederic at erewhon had this to say
about their intro submission:
'The
recording took place on March 12 in Liege, during a manifestation
called "Villes en marche pour une reconquete economique" - Cities
marching for an economic recovery (I know you read and speak French,
but I definitely have to practice my English - you can write to me in
French if you want !). All the major economic actors, public and
private, from Liege and its region, were invited to demonstrate
together, as a strong symbol of solidarity with the steelworkers of
Cockerill, taken over by the (European) Arcelor group, whose directors,
turning back from previous agreements, had decided to stop an important
part of the steel-manufacturing process, directly menacing the jobs of
thousands of people. There were 50.000 people marching in the
streets on that very special day ( Liege
has a population of 500.000 people
including the outskirts). It may be interesting to remember that
Liege
was the first region
to become industrialized on the continent, at the very beginning of the
19th century, thanks to an Englishman, John Cockerill, who founded and
gave his name to a company. Today, the unemployment rate of the
city of Liege is not so far from reaching 20% of the active
population...
'What you hear seems, however, very festive ! We made a few
recordings and kept this one, on which you can hear a fanfare playing
what could be called the "national" hymn of Liege
, our famous "valeureux Liegeois".
Luckily, you don't hear the lyrics ! But if you insist, you could have
me sing it and send you a tape... It's not more intelligent than
any other hymn, but obviously that special occasion gave it some
poignant, ironic intensity: "Valeureux Liegeois / Fidele ` ma voix /
Vole ` la victoire ! / Et la liberte de notre cite / Te couvrira de
gloire !". Liege is well known for its particular sense of pride and
independence, due to centuries of actual independence from its
surrounding states - it was a principality governed by a
Prince-Bishop. The fanfare was followed by a bagpiper - a very
strange, unintentional (of course) combination...'
they
also had
this to say about their own relation, as a label, to
belgium and
this
demonstration:
'I
have to
say that, as erewhon, we have a special, sort of love & hate
relationship with Liege
, and Belgium
in general - but particularly
with Liege
. It is clear that our name reflects
this situation - erewhon / nowhere, as if Liege
could be anyplace, the very picture of
irrelevance. This recording makes it obvious, at least for me: a
high tension between decline and pride - visible signs of social,
economic, cultural decadence (so very few signs of recovery, alas !),
more or less covered by relics of a brilliant past, and a feeling of
insularity which has simply become unbearable to us. Erewhon has
nothing to do with that, but we have to acknowledge the fact that it
would have been completely different had we founded it anywhere but in
Liege
.'
thanks
to both
patrick and frederic for providing this very insightful information.

a
framework
intro from slavek kwi (aka artificial memory trace) this week, then
work by j. frede, new zealand's cmr label, and a mix of two tracks from
the twin releases on erewhon and intransitive by seth
nehil/jgrzinich. we featured the most mysterious submission
framework has had to date as well: a hand painted cdr that appears to
be by someone called squirrel manoeuvers, no contact info, no note, no
further details. in fact 'no further details' is exactly what it
says on the disc. it also says, 'please pass on to someone else
when you have finished listening,' so, in keeping with the artist's
wishes, the first person to send me an address gets it...
our
next edition
will feature the work of toby paddock, dallas
simpson and crawl unit, as well as an
introduction recorded by the gentleman at erewhon. hope you can
tune in!

probably
my
favorite framework introduction yet began this edition, recorded here
in london by melanie
clifford and
rob grant on scaffolding outside their window with a live mix of
contact and condenser microphones. beautiful! we then
delved back into the massive body of work produced by ward
weis, before moving on to some recent works by slavek kwi, aka
artificial memory trace.
however,
the
real highlight was a live in studio performance by jean-luc guionnet:
composer, improviser, and collaborator with the likes of eric cordier
and eric la casa, and their project afflux. jean-luc performed a
live improvised set of found sounds: some prerecorded (but unheard)
sounds from his eurostar ride that morning, the others live on
location, from a condenser mic out the window, to an array of contact
mics spread across the studio and taped to clocks, amps,
ventilators... definitely amongst framework's most exciting
moments.

we
began this
edition with an intro recorded by chris watson, our favorite bbc sound
recordist and ex-member of cabaret voltaire and the hafler trio.
if you haven't heard his two releases on touch, we highly recommend
them. you could also go and see him this thursday at the ica's
cut and splice event, alongside francisco lopez (future framework
appearance in the works) and gregg wagstaff.
over
the next
several editions we will be exploring some sounds by belgian composer
ward weis, who has recently sent us an amazing amount of amazing
material. we began those explorations this week with his piece the
tug, and then moved into several recent releases from
u.s.
label edition... we finished
off with a new 3" cd from erewhon by lionel marchetti, riss
(l'avalanche).
this
friday we
will begin by looking at some more work by weis, as well as his
collaborator and friend slavek kwi (artificial memory trace). we
will then be lucky enough to have french composer jean-luc guionnet
(check out his releases on groundfault and a bruit secret, as well as
his collaborations with eric cordier and afflux) performing live in the
studio. you could also go and see his band hubbub playing
saturday night at conway
hall in holborn. this looks to be a
very busy weekend...

i
returned from
my month away yesterday to find an enormour pile of sound waiting -
lots of great material and several intro submission to easily fill the
next several shows! we'll begin wading through them this
friday. also coming up are live appearances and/or special
framework projects with jean-luc guionnet, francisco lopez and
drouin/olsen.
for
this show
(sneakily prerecorded before i left town) we settled into some longer
pieces after a lofi intro recorded in seattle
by komafuzz. we heard a few tracks
from a cd i've been trying to get to for a long time, brandon labelle's
shadow of a shadow, and also heard two pieces from
absurd
records' research center for the definition of happiness series
(one from toy bizarre and the other from the upcoming cd by my own
project, murmer).

For
those that
don't already know, this Friday, Valentine's Day, is I Love Resonance
Day. We have been granted our license extension, the catch being
the station is now desperately in need of funds to be able to
continue. I Love Resonance Day will feature special programming
and the opportunity to show your support. There will be
fundraising on the day, along with a benefit auction running from the
ResonanceFM website. Please show your support in any way
possible, even if it's just to drop us a note. Recordable
feedback from our listeners is what made the extension possible in the
first place! I have included the most recent ResFM Newsletter at
the end of this playlist (you can receive the newsletter by joining the
ResonanceFM discussion list: resonancefm-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). Thanks, now on to the show!
This
edition of
Framework featured a project by US
artist Steve Peters
entitled
Here-ings. Having been invited to create a site-specific work for
The Land, a forty acre natural site in New Mexico
, Peters took 24 hours of
field
recordings - one during each hour of the day, at a different location
of the site, on various days spanning one year. The sounds were
then spliced together, 3 minutes per hour, in a sonic representation,
not only of a day in The Land, but a year. Peters then wrote 24
'songs,' poetic transcriptions of each 3 minute piece, which were
carved in to 24 stone benches and installed permanently at the original
recording location. Here-ings comprises these recordings and a
book with writings on the project, the 'songs' themselves, and a
detailed breakdown of the sounds in each track.
We
also had the
opportunity tonight to catch up on several recordings that have been
waiting too long in the 'to play' pile - Dale Lloyd, Jon Tulchin,
Michael Prime - as well as to play some new submissions - Anders
Ostberg, Jason Lescalleet and a taster from the long-awaited
Field Recordings and Manipulations compilation (more from that one
next time).

After
a long
hiatus (for the playlists only; the show, of course, has continued as
usual), welcome to the first framework playlist of 2003. A few
changes for framework; we bid a fond farewell to Joel, my co-host, a
few weeks ago, who has headed back to his Australian homeland.
We're sure we'll run into him again sometime. And we're counting
on him to supply us with some great long-distance material for the show
(you listening, Joel?). The next few months should be action
packed, with a few guest hosts, some more live on air events, and
the continuing framework concert series.
Also,
there are
two more playlists to come: 27.12.02 and 10.01.03. Joel hosted
these two shows on his own while I was off gallivanting on the
continent; I've got recordings, but haven't compiled the info
yet. They featured an interview with fallt's Chris Murphy on the
Invisible Cities project, a live performance by mnortham, newly
returned from a few months in Malta, and even a second airing in as
many shows of one of our favorite pieces, Steve Roden's The Radio
(slight miscommunication twixt cohosts, but worth two listens anyhow).
