31.12.04


hi all - welcome to the first framework playlist of 2005.  this is essentially just a quick note to apologise to those of you who may have tuned in to catch the repeat of the framework:focus edition featuring jeph jerman on the 22nd of december.  it has been brought to my attention that the wrong edition was aired (although hopefully you enjoyed having another chance to catch the chris watson show!), but to make it up to you, we will be repeating the jerman edition at a special time this friday:

framework:focus featuring the work of jeph jerman, will be repeated this friday, the 14th of january, at 4:30pm gmt (check the time zone converter above for local times).
 
friday is also the date of our first live broadcast of 2005, at its normal time of 8:30pm gmtour last two shows, in the 24th and the 31st on december, respectively, featured repeats of some special features we had over 2004, mostly live on-air performances, and a few framework exclusive compositions.  more details, and originally airing dates, below.

17.12.04

 

this edition of framework:focus featured the work of jeph jerman - we sampled field recordings and compositions he has made over the years (both under his own name and as hands to) using typically inexpensive tape recorders and mics, giving his body of work a characteristic grainy, earthy sound.  this mixed with commentary and observation he recorded himself, on his work, sound in general, inspirations and anecdotes (we want a t-shirt with an anatomical drawing of an ear too)...  we think this is one of the best editions of framework:focus we've had the pleasure to produce yet, so if you missed it, it's highly recommended you try to catch wednesday's repeat (at 11am gmt).

 

for more information on jeph and his work, or to order any of his recordings (all of which he has made available on cdr for order direct from him) see his website - and soon, as it is rumored that the anomalous records site won't be available much longer - at http://www.anomalousrecords.com/jerman

 

our next two shows - on xmas eve and new year's eve - will comprise a two-part look back at some of framework's special programming over the year, featuring rebroadcasts of live on-air performances or framework exclusive works from marc behrens, michael northam, loren chasse and murmer (that's me!) on xmas eve, and justin bennett, keith berry and achim wollscheid on new year's eve.

10.12.04

 

a long playlist of shortish tracks for this edition, including 15 or so from one of ground fault's latest releases, dave phillips' IIIIIthe glue that held this show together was an amazing document by american seismologist karl v. steinbrugge, a series of recordings of earthquakes from 50's and 60's america (north and south).  the wonderful thing about this document is the contexts in which we find ourselves - the situations in which the tape was already rolling: the school recital, the tapped telephone call, the concert, and the taping of vinyl.  it's not the earthquake that matters, but where it finds itself.

 

between these cracks we heard sounds from bj nilsen (previously hazard) with his latest, and best, effort on touch, a look at an interesting new project on the local sijis label, and a listen to an old favorite, the first illusion of safety record i ever heard, 1993's water seeks it's own levelthis was all kicked off with a great intro recorded in the dark room of rachael jackson , whose photos undoubtedly grace many listener's cd collections...

 

our next edition, coming up this friday, is the next instalment of the framework:focus series, this time featuring the incredible work of jeph jerman (previously known as hands to).  listen in for a chorus of scraping and crackling, and the best under-bridge recording i've ever heard.

26.11.04

 

another standard edition framework this week, featuring another dip into our ever growing pile - this time several tracks from the paris-based kokeko organisation, some more new material from john hudak (this time playing live with jason kahn), and a piece composed from sounds recorded inside a mobile phone recycling center (no, i didn't know they existed either).  we also finally had a listen to an old, old favorite that's been in the pile for ages, in the form of g*park's 1995 album geopod, which was intertwined for the last 20 minutes or so with a mix of several new field recordings by another old favorite, jeph jerman

 

on that note, i can also now announce that the next edition of framework:focus, on the 19th of december, will feature jeph and his huge body of work over the years, from the days of hands to through to recent sound and installation works, and his own exclusive insights and commentary.  it should prove to be a great addition to the series!

 

lastly, it's time once again to make my semi-regular plea: i am once again nearly out of intro recordings - in fact, if it weren't for one industrious listener (thanks keith!) who's sent me no less than five intros in the recent past, i would have run out ages ago.  so, if you've been waiting for your moment or putting off the inevitable, now's the time - please see the guidelines below the list, and please record a framework introduction!  i will use every eligible one i receive!

19.11.04

 

this was another edition of framework:focus, this one concentrating on marc behrens' architectural commentaries series - these are a series of compositions based on physical spaces, and constructed from a large archive of field recordings of buildings, building sites, subways and stations, and the infrastructures from which they are formed.  along with marc's own commentary on the works, we heard sounds from the 5 commentaries that have been composed to date, a sampling of the original sound sources, and a few moments of an earlier related sound work, location recordings, from the 1995 trente oiseaux release advanced environmental controlarchitectural commentaries 5, subtitled some models for resonant behaviour, was commissioned by framework for resonancefm, and was composed entirely recordings taken inside the resonancefm studios themselves.  it, along with part IV, are scheduled to be released together next year on the american label edition... (http://www.editionellipsis.com) as part of the double cd, along the path towards malicious desires.

12.11.04

 

working our way through our pile of sounds, we concentrated on multiple tracks from just a few discs in this edition, taking in several works from the excellent maurice blanchot dedicated compilation on sirr-ecords, me noli legere, and discovering what the two discs of marc behrens and francisco lopez's collaborative double cd release a szellem alma  sound like played together.  we also sampled another of james dunn's vlf recordings, the brume/tbc half of their split with mnortham (we listened to mnortham's half last time), and new sounds from vitor joaquim.

 

our next edition, coming up this friday, is the next in our framework:focus series, focusing this time on marc behrens' architectural commentaries series of compositions - we will be exploring the compositions, their source recordings, and getting some insight into them from the artist himself.  the broadcast will finish with the world premiere of architectural commentaries 5 (some models for resonant behaviour), composed entirely from sounds of the resonancefm studios themselves!

29.10.04

 

our first return to our standard format broadcast brought us a first delving into the pile of sounds that have backing up over the past several months while we've been working on the framework:focus shows - we listened to several tracks for the exquisite new cd by john hudak and stephan mathieu on sirr|ecords - in fact, with two copies of the album, we blended several of the tracks together to create a denser compressed version.  this weaved in and out of recent work by mnortham from a split cdr that also features a collaboration between tbc and brume (we'll hear sounds form that portion of the disc next time), documentation of wind sculptures by french artists eric cordier and denis tricot, vlf recordings on homemade equipment by james dunn, and overseas sounds by quiet american and american sounds (all recorded in savannah, georgia) by local (to this island, anyway) mark vernon.

 

our next edition will be another standard format framework, getting us a bit deeper into the pile, after which, on the 19th of this month, we will have our next edition of framework:focus, featuring the architectural commentaries of marc behrens, and culminating in a framework commissioned commentary featuring the architecture of the resonancefm studio itself!

 

again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw field recordings, field recording based composition or introduction submissions.  send material, released or not, on any format, to the address below.   we are also hoping to have live performances as often as possible, so if you are in or passing through london please get in touch!

this was our second edition of our new feature program framework:focus, this one focusing on the work of chris watson, raw field recording and compositional "time compression" featured over three releases for the touch record label, as well as a recent schools project initiated by FACT (the foundation for art and creative technology) in liverpool.  wildtracks:24 was led by watson as 6 VI formers from croxteth school in liverpool explored the possibilities of environmental recording as each composed their own piece using free software based on their recordings.  in this edition we hear the students introducing their own pieces, while watson talks us through the project and takes us through his history from his favorite spot on the beach at druridge bay in northumberland.

 

for any more info on chris watson, his work, or releases, see his website at http://www.chriswatson.netfor more information about FACT's projects and programs, see their website at http://www.fact.co.uk.

 

our next edition of framework:focus airs on the 19th of november, and features german sound artist marc behrens and his architectural commentaries series.  we return this friday, the 29th of october, and two weeks later on the 12th of november in our usual framework format with stacks of new arrivals for your listening pleasure!

this first edition focuses on the radiophonic works of eric la casa, long time phonographer, composer and radio artist based in paris, france in this edition we listen to excerpts from three of his radio works: two collaborations with another regular framework contributor, jean-luc guionnet, alerte au detour de rien (an extract from a radio essay on background noise), and effets de silence (extracted from the wind-themed program vents sur ecoute).  the third is a radio portrait of serbian artist arsenije jovanovic entitled l'inspir du rivage, topographie sonore d'un isolement: a. jovanovic (inhalation of the shore, a sonic topography of an isolation: a. jovanovic).  for any more information on la casa and his work, you can see his website at http://ascendre.free.fr.

 

this edition will be repeated next wednesday, 13.10.04, at 11am bst

our next edition, the 8th of october, will be the first in our new series of broadcasts tentatively entitled framework:focus (alternate title suggestions welcome!) which will alternate with our normal framework broadcasts for the duration of our new scheduling.  starting on the 8th we will be on air at our normal hour every friday except the first one of each month (when peter cusack airs his environmental recording program vermillion sound).  we will be using this series differently from our normal broadcasts, with more themed and documentary broadcasts.  initial editions will focus on chris watson and his schools project wildtracks, and on the radiophonic works of eric la casa.  more info on these experiments to follow in the coming weeks!

 

this edition was held together thematically by a series of recordings of hurricane charley's descent onto florida earlier this year made by regular contributor mike shannonthese recordings were the glue that held together a collage of other sounds by the likes of pawel grabowski, tbc, john kannenberg and james wynessthere were many unexpected pleasures, including pawel's recent drone records release, and james' exquisite forest silence...

20.08.04

 

this is our first playlist in quite awhile. so let me explain:  our last show was on the 20th of august.  it's normally scheduled repeat would have been the following wednesday, the 25th, but did not air due to special programming that week.  what would have been our next normally scheduled live show, the 3rd of september, also did not air due to special programming.  tomorrow, the 8th, is the normal slot for the repeat of the show that did not air, the 3rd, but as there is no show to repeat from the 3rd and as the show from the 20th never got repeated, tomorrow we get a chance to air the repeat from our live show on the 20th, for which you will find the playlist below.

 

whew.  did that make any sense?  it was quite a lot of fun to write...

 

this edition featured several longer pieces and consisted almost entirely of unreleased work: new composition from toy.bizarre, mark schreiber, and steve peters, among others.  our next live show, on the 17th, will be our first in almost a month, so expect some exciting material.  i can also now announce that starting in october, and running until at least the new year, framework will be extending its boundaries to include every friday night bar the first friday of each month, which will remain peter cusack's excellent vermillion sounds show.  will we will be using this extra time a bit differently, aiming to air more live material, or single artist commissions and focuses.  more details forthcoming...

 06.08.04

 

we started off this edition with a classic recording that's been in our 'to play' pile for a very, very long time, michael prime's opening to his 1996 disc cellular radar, finis terra.  this led us through several new releases on helen scarsdale and the reappeared kaon, one unreleased work, and one new to me (87 central's 2001 cd formation.  bruno moreigne's kaon disc, locus niger, is an interesting exercise in minimal sourcing - his heavily treated works from virtually silent ambient geographical recordings (ranging from sources such as tien anmen square to the world trade centre pre-9/11, to various historical sites throughout the french countryside) led me to believe before reading the liner notes that the disc might be entirely comprised of synthetic sound.  post-reading, however, the traces of weather patterns, bird and insect song, etc, do begin to reveal themselves...

 

coming up in the near future: framework will be featuring a segment over several shows spotlighting compositions by some young artists learning about field recording and it's expressive possibilities on a course with the great chris watson.  we will also soon be featuring an exclusive composition by m. behrens made with sounds of the resonancefm studios themselves.

 

lastly a plug for a great radio project:  phonographic migrations 3: soundscapeFM is up and running now, broadcasting on the net and on 94.6 fm in straslund, germany for more info, or to have a listen, go here:  http://www.soundscape-fm.net/

23.07.04

 

this edition featured a new long piece by jonathan coleclough, a resampling of seth nehil's edition... release, and two collections of shorter pieces.  the first was a set of short untreated recordings by scott smallwood documenting an amazing sonic phenomenon of princeton, new jersey : once every seventeen years precisely, princeton becomes infested with cicadas, large and more importantly loud insects somewhere between a locust and a cricket.  scott has made a series of recordings from all sorts of different indoor and outdoor locations in various situations documenting their all-pervasiveness.  you can find writings, images and all the sounds themselves on his website (see the playlist below).

 

the second set of recordings was a selection of compositions from a 2cd compilation released by a venue in hamburg germany called the hörbar.  the hörbar is a collective of artists and enthusiasts who gather weekly in a space they share with an alternative cinema (b-movie) to listen to a few records and have a few beers (or, better still, a few club-mate's - http://www.club-mate.de/).  the proceeds from these evenings go to support a monthly concert gathering artists form all over the world to the center of hamburg; i haven't encountered very many artists in this field who haven't at one time or another been invited to join them.  they are a great bunch a people running a great venue, and they've now released this double cd of contributions by the organisers and a few friends, all composed with a set of recordings taken on a river boat on the elbe by asmus tietchens (part of the collective), and a recording inside the quiet empty performance space which was taken for a performance by the hafler trioif you're passing through hamburg , check them out!

09.07.04

 

you may (or most likely may not) have noticed that this is our first playlist in four weeks.  this is for the simple reason that our last edition was dedicated in its entirety to a series of events in london entitled the nearness of doing that be things, performed and curated by the hafler trioh3o gave us an hour of exclusive material, which was broadcast with a short framework introduction, on 25.06.04.  this week was, therefore, our first show for a month!  luckily we managed to remember which buttons to push...

 

we were also treated to a special short notice visit: this week's edition featured a live appearance by michael northam and loren chasse (even he, we discovered, isn't quite sure how to pronounce his name), who were passing through london and agreed to come in and see us.  michael and loren performed a live room mix of field recordings, electronics, and objects with the aid of ben green, maria de la paz sayago-candil, and me.  as this all happened very short notice, i obviously wasn't able to warn you.  but don't fret - if you missed the show but want to check out this performance, you still have time to catch the repeat this wednesday (tomorrow) at 11am bst (see below for time zone converter)!

 

michael and loren's performance was preceded by new and old material, including a framework intro, by jeph jerman (previously known as hands to), a new edition... release by m. behrens (who is currently working on an exclusive piece for framework using recordings of the resonancefm studio itself), and a new work by janek schaefer

11.06.04

 

this edition was held together by a skeleton of recordings by new artist part of me: apparatushe sent us a cd half full of field recordings from his home in the mountains of north carolina , and half full of composed material.  these were intertwined with several tracks from two exquisite new releases from the italian label bowindo, one by 3/4HadBeenEliminated, the other by the duo of giuseppe ielasi and renato rinaldi, oreledigneurrarely do i hear composition of mixed instrumental and concrete source that works as smoothly as these two - check them out!  the show began and ended with individual long pieces of particular note, both by artists we've featured before: new unreleased work by cria cuervos, and another track from the dropp ensemble album, the empire builders.

 

in our next edition, the 25th of june, framework will be participating in a week of events here in london (including concerts, films, installations, lectures, meals and radio broadcasts) by the great hafler triothe show (and others that week on resonancefm) will be dedicated entirely to specially produced material, tying in with all the other events.  please see the h3o website for more info: http://www.brainwashed.com/h3o/Live/horsey-horsey/

15.05.04

 

firstly let me apologise for the lateness of this playlist.  i try to get them out before the repeat airing (the wednesday after the live broadcast) for the benefit of those whose interest is piqued enough by my oh-so-in-depth description to tune in, but i left town immediately after our last edition and have just returned.  which means, of course, that our next live show is this coming friday...

 

our last show began with a special introduction recorded by mike hallenbeck in celebration of our fiftieth edition.  we started broadcasting shortly after resonancefm went on the air in the summer of 2002 and have been proudly watching support for the station grow ever since.  resonance is now applying for it's five year license - go to our website to see how you can support our efforts further: http://www.resonancefm.com.  here's to fifty more shows!

 

mike's intro was followed by a long track from the fine, fine first solo release by jgrzinich, long time collaborator of the likes of mnortham and seth nehil.  his first cd, on cmr, is a delicate mix of natural and electronic sound, evoking an extremely personal description of both physical and mental space; highly recommended.  this was followed by more improvised work by our friend pawel grabowski, a sampling of work by last edition's intro contributor, thanos chrysakis, and also work by philip blackburn and heribert friedl.  we finished this edition with a mix of the extremely composed electro-acoustic work of lionel marchetti and a track or extremely raw wineglass generated tones by an_polarity.

 

plans for the near future: this friday will feature, among other things, some material from the new australian label naturestrip, and coming in the next few weeks will be some exclusive material from m.behrensfinally, two shows from now, the 25th of june, framework will be participating in a week of events here in london (including concerts, films, installations, lectures, meals and radio broadcasts) by the great hafler triothe show (and others that week on resonancefm) will be dedicated entirely to specially produced material, tying in with all the other events.  please see the h3o website for more info: http://www.brainwashed.com/h3o/Live/horsey-horsey/

first off i'd like to wish resonancefm a happy second birthday!  we began broadcasting on the 1st of may, 2002, and are now busy applying for our 5 year license.  this has only been possible thanks to the support and help we have been given by you, our listeners.  thank you!  resonance will be hosting it's second birthday party on may 15th here in london ; please come along!  more info is available on the website:  http://www.resonancefm.comthere you can also find more info on ways you can support our efforts and keep the station going strong.

 

this week we featured a new double cd release entitled construction sonor, new works by tore honore boe and christian h. sotemann, and a multi perspective sound sculpture improvisation by dallas simpson, viv corringham and derek shiel

 

construction sonor is a project initiated by pro helvetia using field recordings taken by swiss artist bernd schurer along the rail network and rail construction sites connecting the northern and southern swiss alps.  these incredible recordings, which make up the first of these two discs, were then passed on to a collection of artists living and working along the same routes - their compositions make up the second disc.  we listened to a mix of a handful of the compositions on the constant bed of schurer's powerful original recordings.

 

we then coupled two new environmental collages in tore honore boe's follow-up to his earlier siesta release, suave, with three different perspectives on one extremely minimal composition by german artist christian h. sotemann.  the composition exists as two individual strikes of a single note on a guitar with a brief four bar pause between them, finishing as long after the second strike as the performer deems fit.  the cd comprises six versions of the piece recorded in different locations: the first three in recording and rehearsal studios, and the second, more interestingly for us, in various field locations.

 

tonight's show finished with another series of perspectives: a sound improvisation performed and recorded by dallas simpson and viv corringham around a sound sculpture created by derek shieli was provided with three binaural recordings of the same performance, one from dallas ' perspective, one from viv's, and one from a fixed point dummy head located nearby.  with the three recordings synchronised, we heard a pattern of crossfades and multiplications of the entire piece.

 

lastly, in keeping with our current series of landmark dates, our next edition will be framework's 50th show!  if anyone would like to record a special anniversary introduction i leave it to your discretion, artistic license granted!

first i must correct an error in the last playlist: i listed the first piece (after the introduction) as the phonographer's unionin fact, gary james of molotov arc's unreleased piece monstertruck was aired first, followed by the phonographer's unionthe piece is an untreated field recording of a remote control truck traversing a garden - a strange synthetic sounding hum, complete with various collisions.  sorry for the omission!

 

this week we heard from several german projects, including an intro my incite's kera nagel, live sounds from y-ton-g, and a taste of bernhard günter's new 'band', +minuswe also explored several new releases on the very active anomalous records label, a beautifully hand packaged cassette, arrived from italy , by dutch artist rinus van alebeek, and a very beautiful new piece my past framework contributor mark vernon in our next edition we'll be featuring, among other recordings, recent works by brandon labelle, toshiya tsunoda and yannick dauby.

this edition was meant to feature a live performance by dublin-based polish sound artist pawel grabowskiunfortunately he wasn't able to make the journey to london this time, so we had to postpone - we'll let you know when we can get his set rescheduled.  this did, however, give us a chance to start catching up on the backlog of material we've got at the moment, including the phonographer's union cd made from their live session on sonarchy radio, recent releases from the ever-expanding catalogue of free mp3 label stasisfield, and a look at the amazing environmental sound works of david dunn from the 70's and 80's as documented on the double cd retrospective music, language and environment on innova recordingswe finished off the show with another track from an innova disc: stilling time is an collection of traditional vietnamese music as recorded in the field by philip blackburnthis is an amazing disc of extremely beautiful recordings, and, while we tend not to play captures of musical performance on the show, i couldn't let this one go by without a nod.  in any case, the disc's last track is a collage of sounds captured around hanoi , a bit more fitting to our format, and it gave me the opportunity to give it a high recommendation.

a very special edition this week in conjunction with the visit of several sound artists to london justin bennett and achim wollscheid - who gave presentations last week at the architectural association, along with atau tanaka and hosted by brandon labelle - each contributed; justin with an exclusive piece for framework and achim with a live performance in the resonancefm studio.  but wait, there's more!  we also featured a framework exclusive track by tore honore boe, whose gave us an intro as well, and recordings by james dunn and an_polarityour series of live performances continues in our next edition, with a visit from polish dublin-resident pawel grabowski, who we first featured after his performance here in london last fall at the red rose.

this edition followed a clearspot hosted by filmmaker william english, who presented 90 minutes of untreated field recordings he made in dorset last year.  william presented me with the material from the clearspot and asked me to compose a response to it as a way to tie the two programs together, and this, after an intro also recorded for us by william, is how we began the show.  this was followed by an exploration of the void/full compilation on the greek antifrost label, as well as a mix of tracks from the recent split cd by sumugan sivanesan and duran vasquez with some untreated recordings taken in latvia by derek holzer, and some recent sounds by jim haynes (both solo and in his duo with loren chasse, coelacanth) and michael trommer.

 

once again i am very nearly out of framework introductions, so if you've been thinking about submitting one, now's the time.  any format recorded with a broken dictaphone or the latest high-end dat is great, we like a variety!  and there are still some copies of the framework benefit cd left; see details for both intros and cds below the playlist.

this edition featured a great live set from keith berry, presenting material from a new work entitled buddha's mile.  much denser material than what we know from the golden boat, his recent release on trente oiseaux, reminding us at times of some of the work of morphogenesis, or particularly michael prime's mycoplasma.  keith was generous enough to bring us a copy of the golden boat to give to a listener; it was won by colin lane of london  - congrats!

 

keith set was preceded by two tracks from michael rusenberg's new cd, constructed from sounds recorded just outside paris in la defense.  the cd features rusenberg's own composition along with several remixes from the original source material; we heard one of michael movements and a remix by eric la casawe also listened to some recent unreleased works by french artist yannick dauby; more to come from him soon!

 

coming plans:  our next edition will be preceded in the clearspot slot (every weekday 7-8:30pm ) by a presentation of field recordings taken by filmmaker william english in dorsetthe are untreated and collaged without commentary for a full hour and a half, and are beautifully contemplative (i'm listening to them right now, in fact); i highly recommend you tune in for that if you can.  our broadcast will then begin with a framework intro recorded for us by william, followed by a composition of my own in response to and constructed from william's dorset recordings.  the following edition, on the 5th of march, will hopefully be featuring some exclusive material given to us by justin bennett, (who will be in town for a concert at the aa with achim wollscheid on the 3rd - more info on that next time), and on the 19th of march we will be featuring a live performance by polish sound artist pawel grabowski, so a full calendar for the coming months!

 

once again i am very nearly out of framework introductions, so if you've been thinking about submitting one, now's the time.  any format recorded with a broken dictaphone or the latest high-end dat is great, we like a variety!  and there are still some copies of the framework benefit cd left; see details for both intros and cds below the playlist.

23.01.04

 

first off, i have a correction to make from the last playlist:  i listed zephyr, from the touch records compilation spire: organ works past, present & future, as being by bjnilsen.  in fact, the piece was performed by charles matthews, one of england 's premiere organists.  it was recorded by bjnilsen at st mary's church, warwick , on march 6th, 2003.  my apologies for the error...

 

in this edition we featured new releases from the u.s. label ground fault recordingsground fault has now released upwards of 30 cds, organised (loosely) into three categories: quiet, medium, and loud.  field recordings tend to come under the quiet category, although many of these are certainly far from what i (or, say, bernhard guenter) would call quiet.  we've featured many of these category I releases on framework in the past (crawl unit, afflux, erics cordier and la casa, jean-luc guionnet...), and this time featured two of the cds from ground fault's latest batch: one by joel stern & michael northam, and the other by murmer (my own project).  the first copies of both of these releases came with a 3" cdr of extra works, and we featured sounds from these as well.

 

the rest of the show was taken up with several new co-releases between ground fault and their close associates auscultare research.  we heard pieces by joe colley (another excellent cd from another long time framework favorite), r.h.y. yau, and a collaboration between daniel menche & kiyoshi mizutani.  all in all an excellent season for these two labels...

 

our next edition will feature work by michael rusenberg and a live performance by trente oiseaux recording artist keith berry.  tune in if you can!

 

one last thing: i now, at long last, have the remaining copies of the framework 2003 resonancefm benefit cd.  those of you who have reserved copies will be hearing from me in the next few days to sort out details.  anyone else who wants a copy please get in touch!  here is the playlist again; the pieces are all excerpts and mixed from the original broadcasts into one long soundscape.  oh, and those of you who appear on the cd, don't worry, i have your copies as well, and they will be going out this weekend.

09.01.04

 

welcome to our first playlist of 2004 (and our last playlist of 2003 - holiday travel made it impossible to get the last one out on time, my apologies)!  there are already some good plans shaping up for the coming year, starting with some upcoming live appearances: on the 6th of february we are pleased to announce a live set by trente oiseaux recording artist keith berry!  we featured his brilliant release the golden boat not long ago, and are therefore very excited that he's agreed to come along.  we will also be hosting a visit from dublin-based pawel grabowski on the 19th of marchpawel's improvised field recording work was also recently featured on the show, and he was here in london not long ago for a gig at the red rose with troum, dual, id, and my own project, murmerwe will hopefully have his new release on the air shortly as well...

 

our last show of 2003 was a special focus on the italian cdr label s'agita recordings.  they have consistently impressed us with the quality of work they've put out, often by unknown (al least to me) artists, and they are definitely worth checking out.  s'agita is run by the two members of long-time framework favorites logoplasm, and has an extensive backcatalogue here: http://sagitarecordings.vze.com.  we featured several of their new releases, and a few old favorites, in a continual hour long mix.

 

our first show of 2004 was partly dedicated to the organ in all it's piping glory.  we played three framework-relevant tracks from the great new 2cd compilation, spire, on touch records, consisting entirely of music either written for or inspired by the organ.  i also included one of my own recordings from a recent trip to aarhus, denmark , where i and a few friends were treated to a private organ demonstration and concert in a church on the outskirts of town by a welshman we found in the street.  i'm not entirely sure how it happened, but it was amazing.

 

we also featured multiple tracks from great new releases by paulo raposo (of sirr.ecords) & carlos santos , and justin bennet, along with repeat appearances by roel meelkop and sam brittonas always, if you missed this show you have a second chance to hear it:  the repeat airs this wednesday at 11am gmt .

 

one last note: if you're in town ( london , that is) on the 25th of this month, resonancefm is proud to announce the very first  london appearance of thomas dimuzio, performing with long-time collaborator (he himself playing here for the first time in years) chris cutlerben green, who curates the 'as' program, will be djing, and all proceeds go to keeping us on the air, so please come down!  january 25th at the spitz, 109 commercial street, e1.
