23.12.05 my apologies for the lateness of this playlist - the holiday season has been busy with voyages and visitors, but happily through now to 2006 we begin anew, back to our regularly scheduled programming, as they say. i hope you enjoyed our special guest curator on 16.12 - it was a pleasure to have the chance to hear michael northam's personal retrospective on his 2005. and this, our next show on 23.12, was to be our last program of the year, as 30.12 was set aside to give our studio engineers a much deserved break.
we ended 2005 on a more pensive note, with a very belated nod to the great john watermann, the australian visual and sonic artist who passed away in 2002. our retrospective was inspired by the appearance of the cd epitaph for john, on the dutch korm plastics label - a posthumous collaborative dedication curated by frans de waard and featuring a collection of sound artists and friends who had been influenced by or worked with john over the years. the basis for the work was an unfinished collaboration between frans and john, featuring a collection of john's raw field recordings from toowong cemetary. for their contributions to the project, these sounds were given to asmus tietchens, rlw, and merzbow, and their material was in turn used as the basis for frans' own contribution from his freiband project. for our show i accompanied this material with the sounds that defined john's work for me personally over the years - by no means a comprehensive collection, but the highlights for me from the few cds i managed to find in a time before the proliferation of the internet, either from his own smal nightshift records label, or from other small pioneering record labels such as nd, stille andacht and raum 312. these labels either no longer exist or have no discenable internet presence, hence my lack of contact information for them, but you can find more infomation on the korm plastics label here: http://www.kormplastics.nl, or more information on john watermann here: http://aliasfrequencies.org/watermann.
lastly, i will reprint here the obituary, written by frans de waard, which originally appeared in the online review digest vital weekly on 03.04.02:
John Watermann 19.2.1935 - 2.4.2002
It's
with
great
sadness
that
we
have
to
announce
the death of John
Watermann.
He died @
John
Watermann
was
one
of
the
truly
underground
sound
and visual
artists. In
the late eighties his name surfaced out of nowhere, when a
double CD was
released by the Walter Ulbricht label in
Starting
out
in
In mid-2000 he wrote me that he was terminally ill, but that he would love to do a sound-project with me in the remaining time. We exchanged environmental recordings and exchanged emails over the practical nature of composing our works. Only a few weeks ago, he wrote me that he was still working on it, despite all the treatments he was getting. In exchanging these emails he came forward as a very practical person, with clear ideas as to what he wanted. I will continue to work my part of this work in order to keep his memory alive.

16.12.05 sorry
to cram
your inboxes two days in a row - but unexpected circumstances have led
to some
special arrangements and a special announcement. i have to leave
town
suddenly for the weekend and will therefore not be in town for the next
live
edition of framework but fear not! a timely visit from michael
northam means we have been able to plan a special edition, curated
and
hosted by michael for this friday's edition: this
friday,
16.12.05 mnortham
presents an orogenetics-2005-travelogue, including voyages in epesses brussels mt
cheseau lofoten and
the
sounds and music thereof and therein. 09.12.05 a long list of tracks for this edition as we sampled a large chunk of the recent 2cd compilation put out by sirr-ecords, untitled songs, tied to the structural creation of karlheinz stockhausen's seminal piece, gesang der jünglinge. from the liner notes: 'the works on this cd are not plain homage, nor are they sampled from the original. they are rather a survey of the current state of electronic/electroacoustic that exists half outside the academic music life.' most feature the common elements of voice manipulation and the sounds of interior spaces - we sampled works from many framework regulars, as well as a few new names.
we also heard the first of some new works by the composer emmanuel mieville, some tonal creations from tetsu inoue, new works by ubeboet, james wyness and michael trommer, and a framework introduction recorded for us by cedric peyronnet (aka toy.bizarre).

| 25.11.05 having received several submissions of vocal and/or narrative work over the part few months, we embarked on our second edition of vocal field recordings this week (you may remember our first, earlier this year, inspired by tim coster's vocal and field compilation), loosely structured around joseph young's narrative, and quite theatrical, piece, the family album. his field recordings take on a more literal role than we're used to here, while playing an active, not an illustrative, role in these memoirs. we also heard several voices (as well as several voiceless recordings) in the work dan crall, including the amazingly emotive opening tale from a lost soul who has just shot his horse. the latest installment of viv corringham's shadow-walks, these undertaken on the irish island of cobh, also made an appearance - viv's shadow walks are sonic figurative reconstructions of her subjects favorite walks, constructed from sounds and objects found along the journey. voiceless respite was found along our way through new works by jason kahn and lawrence english, and by a somehow narrative but wordless piece by canadian composer eldad tsabury which in constructed from late night sounds of montreal streets processed and composed to represent the soundscape as heard from inside the belly of a drunkard asleep on a bench nearby.
another event coming up of possible interest to framework listeners - if you'll forgive the personal plug (or even if you won't): i will be playing a live set at mark schreiber's upcoming tone debris event at the whitechapel gallery here in london - if you make it down please say hello!
Tone Debris w/ murmer, modified ka, lgamble, djs tom scott & space commander travis curated by mark schreiber The Aldgate East Underground Station free! An evening focusing on possible meeting points between melody and ‘noise’, or tone and its fragmented neighbour. modified ka describe themselves as “acoustic in every electronic bit” (with guitar, electronics and drums). Lgamble’s microscopic laptop abstractions celebrate the fractured while murmer does a melding of field recordings with the tonal ‘playing’ of a bowed metal chime (www.murmerings.com). DJs Tom Scott and Space Commander Travis move from obscure film soundtracks all the way to possible Spoken Word.

18.11.05 a
dense program
tonight,
with many textural layers from many different directions.
tonight's playlist
was dominated by a single package that came through the post; a single
label
that sent along an array of suitable material. new zealand's pseudo
arcana sent more
material than
we could cover in one show, including a new release from our well
missed
framework co-founder joel
stern
and his collaborator anthony
guerra.
also featured is material by edward
ruchalski and label boss anthony
any it's time for my occasional plea - i am out of framework introductions, people, so now's the time! if you've got a moment to record an intro, or if you're planning on sending in other material and would consider recording an intro as well, do it! the first person to send me an intro mp3 can be guaranteed to have it featured in this friday's show, so on your marks! guidelines below...

edition
recorded on the
road this week - we compiled and constructed this program while
visiting les
tribardieres in st george les landes, about 50 km outside
this program featured some melancholic long droning works from daisuke suzuki, brendan walls and darren tate, along with some sharper more untreated composition from felicily ford (check out her website!) and simon vincent. we also heard another track from recent italian discovery punck, some environmental sounds from percussionist and instrument builder eric leonardson, and some more of keith de mendonca's kefalonia recordings.

28.10.05 we framed this week's edition with two sizable samples from lethe's (who you may also know as one half of the location improvising duo kuwayama-kijima) recent double cd on cloud of statics entitled catastrophe point #1 & #2. lethe makes all his source recordings is a large empty warehouse space, using what sounds like materials found therein and occasional instruments - the recordings paint quite a picture or the space, and his carefully constructed compositions pit close-up tiny sounds with distant thunderous barrelling. this double cd makes for quite a document.
xan phillips (apparently a prolific podcaster - see his website at http://www.xan.co.uk) recently sent us this recording made outside the oval during the final few minutes of the game that finally won england the ashes - yes, a very topical recording indeed, or at least it would have been if i'd managed to get in on the air even remotely soon after i received it! but it still makes for a good listen, and provides a nice segue from screaming fans to howling monkeys. can you tell which are which?
the rest of the edition was an exercise in unexpected blending - douglas quin's amazing untreated recordings from the brazilian rainforest somehow complimented perfectly ben owen's high pitched and staticy fm-transmitter-and-record-player sound constructions, which completed tobias c. van veen and tomas phillips' live minimal jigsaw puzzle, which cleared a path for steve roden's breathy rice-dreams. all in all a rather enveloping show, i think...

21.10.05 another edition of few and long presentations, including two releases from the excellent swiss cloud of statics label (which together with orogenetics and soundmirror make up cloudmirror) - one from their series of short works, by spiracle, and another from the long works (in exquisite hard-bound packaging) by jgrzinich. we also heard some excellent unpublished work by another of our new acquaintances from our recent journeys, the latvian composer makims sentelevs, aka my-ym, from his project the mole. also present were two other repeating framework offenders - one last track from the collection of unpublished compositions sent to us by french composer emmanuel mieville, and, after so many of his wonderful untreated field recordings, a sampling of jeph jerman's live presence, as released by anomalous records (r.i.p.).

along by an early audition of heribert

we squeezed quite a few in this time around,
largely
due to featuring the latest and last of the phonography.org

framework intro 23.09.05 after
another
great
traveling
intro,
we
started
this
week's
program
with
a track from one
of my
favorite discoveries from this summer's travels - mountains,
who
i
was
lucky
enough
to
see
perform
in brooklyn,
combine acoustic guitar and other simple string and drone instruments,
in a
well-blended duet with series of mostly unmanipulated field
recordings.
this live track is a long slowly developing piece, in which the field
recordings initially take the forefront, only to be joined later
by a
warm, melancholy, repetitive guitar... joseph

framework
intro 16.09.05 a last minute special guest in the studio this week; seth nehil, at the beginning of several months of european travels, joined us in the studio to present several parts of a new unreleased work composed from a series of recordings taken in new york city's chinatown. seth will be in europe for several months and will play several gigs in italy, both solo and with collaborator jgrzinich, so, for our italian listeners, keep your eyes peeled for details!
seth's visit was preceded by another chunk of sounds from our stacks - we've just about waded through everything that sat home waiting for us during our travels, and we will soon begin delving into the material we collected while away. this week one of jgrzinich's two excellent recent releases shared it's resonances with one of dallas simpson's seascapes, and an extremely collaborative dale lloyd. his new con-v release, amalgam, features 11 collaborations with 11 different artists in it's 11 different tracks - unfortunately, if the cd i was sent came with info on which tracks are with which collaborator (and it may well have) i no longer have it; nor was i able to find detailed track info online, so i'm afraid i don't know which collaborations i played. if anyone knows based on the track numbers, please let me know, and i'll credit those artists retrospectively...

well folks, we are finally back in the studio after a long, long time away - i hope you enjoyed your chance to hear so many of the framework:focus programs again during our summer repeat schedule, but i hope as well that you're as pleased as we are to be back with these piles of new material. this week we started the long task of getting through them - in fact we didn't even quite catch up with what was waiting to be played before we left! we framed our show with a fantastic new piece (in fact a work-in-progress, he informs us) by chris watson - a stereo mix-down of a quadruple hydrophone array recording the surf in tortuga bay on the galapagos islands. from within this bay we sampled sounds from meri von kleinsmid, joe colley, jim hoult and a glorious project from a few years back by doug haire - nineteen american waysides features location recordings of america's lost highways, in which are installed bizarre distant manipulations of old 78 rpm records, wafting by in the distance, amongst the rumble of traffic or insects. this really is a beautiful example of themed phonography - check it out!
we also featured a framework intro recorded during our travels by estonian ceramic and installation artist mariliin kindsiko - now, there were many more of you we met out there who promised intros, don't think we've forgotten! we'll be looking out for them in the post soon... mariliin

| 08.07.05 so, folks, as of tonight framework will be entering that most ubiquitous of things, the summer repeat schedule! my own schedule and upcoming travels have made this a necessity - the first break framework has had in it's 3 year history! i must say i am pleased to be able to give another airing to the selected programs, which are all framework:focus editions from the last year, starting with earlier editions and working up to a repeat of aaron ximm's fine one minute vacations program in late august. i will send out playlists as usual repeating the schedule information and reprinting the program info from the program's original mailout. please, however, don't stop sending material for airplay! i will still be collecting submissions and intro submissions for the resumption of normal broadcasting as of the 26th of august!
and let me also explain where i will be during this time: i leave shortly for a trip home to the states, where i will be playing my first ever u.s. gigs. these will be happening on the 16th of july in boston, the 23rd of july in new york city, and the 30th of july in portland, maine. if you are in any of these places, please come along and say hello! soon after that i will be departing for the PostsovkhoZ5 festival at moks in tartu, estonia, where i will be creating a new sound installation around the festival's theme for 2005, public/private. again, if you are nearby (slightly less likely), please drop in! you can find detailed info on all these activities on my website, http://www.murmerings.com. framework summer repeat schedule (air date / original air date / subject)

well, back from a momentarily very wet, but overall rather pleasing glastonbury festival - hardly made it out of our crew area, as usual, but had a good time mingling amongst the customers of our swanky establishment, and even met up with another resonance presenter, mic in hand, who managed to blag a free sample from the dessert trolley to eat on-air for an upcoming clearspot. he also promised to record up an intro and send some festival sounds for the show, so maybe an upcoming framework glastonbury special! the sounds of washed out tents floating away, perhaps...
in this show we heard sounds from the great wildlife recordist douglas quin, from an amazing collection of antarctica recordings; we also heard a wonderful new cd by loren chasse on ex-framework presenter joel stern's naturestrip label, had another listen to the wonderful new dead letters spell out dead words cd on con-v, and sampled sounds from pablo reche & ubeboet, prolific framework contributor keith de mendonca, and rolf julius.

you'll forgive me if this note is brief - i am manically preparing to set off for glastonbury festival (believe it or not!). not, as you might imagine, to catch the acts on the main stage, but to slog away all night in the lost vagueness black tie restaurant, to which i have a long link. yes, i will be working long hours, so if you're in the vicinity, drop in and say hello - i'll be the one near the bar with the ridiculous moustache... more to the point, this was a great show, featuring a tbc md that i've had in my 'to play' pile for far too long, a spectacular live bmb con. live mini-cd. and a local (as local is it's gets - two streets over from framework central!) cd from stoke newington's own scrawn.
if you haven't already, do drop in and have a gander at the new framework website - plenty of info including a full playlist archive from the past years of broadcasting, and coming soon an on demand stream of the latest program. it's at http://www.resonancefm.com/framework, or by following the 'radio' link on my website, http://www.murmerings.com.

another great intro recorded by keith de mendonca preceded a superb collection of new sounds this week, namely eric la casa's excellent new cd on fringes, stephan mathieu's latest endeavour the sad mac, and a plethora of unreleased sounds from phill harding, meri von kleinsmid and mike harding. mike gave us a somewhat confusing field recording for airplay, the lure of which we couldn't resist: a recording of resonancefm's reception at his home in balham, south london (hopefully it sometimes gets better than that). what happens when you play a recording of a radio station from afar on the same radio station from the studio? does the world implode? we had to find out...

| 27.05.05 this week saw the broadcast of our may edition of framework:focus, featuring one of my favorite phonographers' community projects of all time, aaron ximm's one minute vacations. for 3 1/2 years, aaron has been faithfully posting a new one minute vacation for our listening pleasure every monday on his website, http://www.quietamerican.org (click on the hollow flag) - the vacations have their origins all over the world and are submitted by all levels of recordists. each recordings is a 60 second untreated field recording, an aural snapshot, a quintessential framework. we sampled 60 (natch) of these one minute recordings, and were treated to aaron's own insights on the project, on his own work, and on the art of listening. a definite gem of the framework:focus series - if you missed it, do try to tune in to wednesday's repeat!
i have another announcement to make, which is that framework's website is finally online! it is still being polished, but at the moment you can find info on the program, contact addresses, introduction recording guidelines, and a complete archive of our 4 years of playlists! and coming very soon (the fairies are working away as i type) we will be streaming the latest edition of framework for a full week, from wednesday to wednesday, after the 11am repeat, with an extra week's stream for our focus editions (during our off-week - the first of each month). we should be able to get that sorted in time to have aaron's focus available before our next live broadcast on june 10th. framework's website is available here: http://www.resonancefm.com/framework, or by going to my recording project's website (which i will permit myself to plug here - lot's of info, images and sound already available), http://www.murmerings.com, and clicking on 'radio.'

20.05.05 many fine surprises in this edition, among them a superb new release by thomas ekelund, aka dead voices spell out dead words, on the con-v label, a great and, for me, newly discovered release by justin bennett from 1998, and some eerie icy sounds from one of framework's newly made hungarian contacts. we started of this show with a track of twisted broken organ playing in the first sample of the providence, ri, based cdr label free matter for the blind. this was preceded by yet another excellent intro recorded by our very own adam wimbush. intros have been slow to come in of late (except for adam and his unknown - to adam, that is - co-conspirator keith de mendonca, who've been carrying the torch for me together for awhile now), so: DO IT! NOW! go get a microphone, a dictaphone, a tape recorder, dat, md, whatever you please, and record a framework intro! the guidelines are below - now i will sit back and wait for the tapes/discs/mp3s to come rolling in...
next week's program is not to me missed: the may edition of framework:focus features aaron ximm's (aka the quiet american) one minute vacations project - amid a soundscape of, yes, you guessed it, 60 vacations from the past 3 1/2 years, we hear aaron's thoughts on the project, it's conception, and the phonographic arts in general (as well as the clinking of the ice cubes in his scotch - now i, personally, wouldn't recommend ice in a laphroaig, aaron! ; ) for more info on aaron's work and one minute vacations, see http://www.quietamerican.org, and click on the hollow flag.

it's somewhat late now, but, as we mentioned on the air, if you're in london you have one more day to catch an interesting exhibition of sound installations entitled me and my shadow, featuring work by chris watson in collaboration with thor mcintyre-burnie, duncan whitley, loretta bosence and liz haven. it's at wilton's music hall in london's east end, and tomorrow's the last day. the exhibit closes at 7pm, but there is a closing performance at 8pm by janek schaefer and philip jeck - not to be missed! for more information see the organiser's website at http://www.measure.org.uk, and click on me and my shadow at the bottom,

| 29.04.05 after being completely blown away by rsundin's recent antifrost release, hagring (which we listened to back in february), we went back to some older efforts, the first two parts of his series on wake-dreaming, which were released respectively on bake and ground fault. these, needless to say, are great as well. we heard some live material from mnortham and hitoshi kojo's collaborative project, kodama, recorded on the site of an installation they created for the swiss arts center arsenic, in lausanne (a recording which also features a cameo appearance from some other framework favorites, kuwayama-kijima). this led to more pleasant surprises from the realm of collaboration when we sampled the excellent new effort from the american helen scarsdale agency by fellow northerners b j nilsen (sweden) and stilluppsteypa (iceland). also sampled were the more delicate soundscapes created by archive, in an mp3 only release entitled music in black and white, and an unreleased work by cheapmachines.

http://www.helenscarsdale.com 22.04.05 for this, our april edition of framework:focus, we featured a recent project by local london label authorised version entitled ^observer drift, a 2cd compilation consisting entirely of untreated field recordings from a well dispersed collection of artists. the likes of francisco lopez, janek schaefer, leafcutter john, frans de waard and dave phillips bring us distant american thunderstorms, the minutiae of insect larvae, and the chilling freezing of microphones. we heard a solid 60 minute soundscape constructed from these recordings, with a brief interlude of explanation on the project's background.
for any more info on the project, see autorised version's website at http://www.a-version.co.uk, or for specific track details, see http://www.a-version.co.uk/drift.

15.04.05 a great show this week focusing especially on the recently discovered (by me, anyway) work of australian sound artist lawrence english - two very different albums; one seemingly made up entirely of untreated hydrophone recordings, and the other full of lush tonal composition. this mixed well with another binaural soundscape from prolific contributor dallas simpson, a look back at one of bernhard günter's compositions from a re-release of an early album, more untreated recording from autumn records (the same label as english's hydrophone...) by ben owen, and some greek rumblings from the ever-present antifrost label. we also heard a few tracks from the album interview with the eggs, by simon keep, which we featured on the show as a cdr a few years back. we are now pleased to announce it has seen the light of day as an official release, on the sub rosa label, no less, and it is well worth a listen...

08.04.05 we sampled almost exclusively unreleased submissions it this edition, both from new artists and old favorites. we began the show with a 20 minute mix of sounds from an installation piece commissioned by fact (the foundation for art and creative technology, liverpool: http://www.fact.co.uk) and created by chris watson. with the help of local residents, chris created two soundscapes, composed from sounds recorded in the city of liverpool, and in nearby sefton park, respectively. the two soundscapes are broadcast on two separate cable television channels in a single towerblock overlooking the city and the park, so residents can switch between the two while looking at their places of origin from their windows. fact was kind enough to invite me down to experience the installation in the home of one of the residents, and also gave me copies of the two soundscapes in order that i be able to share them with you, dear listeners...
we also explored submissions by two new artists to framework, who each sent entire discs of submission, so we should be hearing more from them soon: we heard two raw but creatively executed field recordings from australia's anthony magen (anthonym) and two delicately composed offerings from france's emmanuel mieville. all of this unreleased material was joined by a single new release on colin potter's icr label, the sublime echoings of long heat, the new collaboration by jonathan coleclough and lethe. we heard samples both from the main disc and the limited edition second disc (long heat second part) that comes with the first 250 copies.

| 25.03.05 an extensive look at the new touch records release by jacob kirkegaard this week, which is a collection of 'geothermal recordings of vibrations in the ground around the area of krisuvik, geysir and myvatin in iceland.' kirkegaard goes on to explain that 'the recordings have been carried out using accelerometers inserted in to the earth at various places around the geysers, mapping the volcanic aspects of volcanic activity at the surface of the earth.' a fascinating listen...
we also heard new works by mnortham, cria cuervos, xabier erkizia, hitoshi kojo, and a documentation of pauline oliveros' nyc ringout demonstration (consisting of a score for mass public bell-ringing), as recorded by ben owen.
and congrats to john exby, of littleton, colorado, usa, who won the copy of the split mnortham/tbc/brume cd that we gave away in our last regular show. we're building up a little stack of giveaways, so tune in if you'd like to snag one. and if your sending material in, consider sending 2 copies if you'd like to host a giveaway - as obviously it'll be so good that if you only send one i'll have to keep it! ; )

1. construct a still-life 2. create a visual artwork that documents the still-life 3. record the sound that the still-life made 4. create an audio composition derived from the sound of the still life
the resulting exhibition, as well as information on the cd release, can be found here: http://www.stasisfield.com/space/still-life. the second half of the show consisted of live studio performance by john also using some of the material from the exhibition. for more info on the stasisfield mp3 label and the work of john kannenberg, see http://www.stasisfield.com and http://home.earthlink.net/~jkannenberg. glenn bach / two rooms / exhibition glenn bach / phye / cd

all of these voices (the voices! the voices!) were not alone however - they were tempered by many other soothing sounds: the beautifully organic ambience of spiracle, some old favorite beequeen, and a few chloe invaders in the form of two jasons (kahn and lescalleet) and the united states of belt.
our next edition (this friday, the 18th of march) is march's framework:focus program, featuring a visit from stasisfield curator john kannenberg. john is bringing many sounds from an online exhibition featuring familiar framework names (steve roden, sawako, john hudak...) entitled audible still life, and will also treat us to our first live studio set of 2005. hope you can listen!

recorded
by
dallas'
mother on
a fall
day in 1988. dallas himself describes his mother's recordings,
which
began in the 70's as letters to her son, thusly: 'Mum's work is
about
emotive description, rather than any kind of objective accuracy. It is
the
sheer simplistic joy of the moment by moment experience that is
communicated.' for

a
correction: i announced
last playlist that 2005's first edition
of framework:focus, which is coming up this friday, the 18th of
february, would
feature a live performance by stasisfield's john kannenberg. in
fact,
john will be joining us for our second edition of
framework:focus, which
will air on the 18th of march. this coming friday's
edition will
feature a work presented by regular framework contributor dallas
simpson,
in the form of an unedited soundwalk recorded in 1988 by his mother,
entitled peggy's
paradise. dallas himself describes his
mother's
detailed narrative description of her surroundings thusly: 'Mum's
work is
about emotive description, rather than any kind of objective accuracy.
It is
the sheer simplistic joy of the moment by moment experience that is
communicated.' please tune in if you can - it should be
a great
show. this
edition was
held
together by a skeleton of tranquil recordings made by jesse paul
miller,
along with some of his composed (although still very raw) work.
we also
heard recent unreleased work by jean-luc guionnet, both solo
and in
collaboration with eric la casa. this was tempered by
noisier
outings on the 23five label; some live material from

friday of the month, sees the monthly airing of peter cusack's vermillion
sounds in the field recording slot; we return the week after, the
11th, for
our next edition. the show after that, on the 18th, will be this
year's
first edition of framework:focus, featuring a live performance
by the
head of the aforementioned stasisfield mp3 label, john kannenberg,
visiting
from
the
states.

also
listened to several tracks from crouton's reissue of an early
irr.

latest release buddha's mile, and a recent release from
the
copyleft netlabel test tube by spanish artist ubeboet.

a
fine mix this
edition
based around peter cusack's recent release, baikal ice, as a skeleton -
these
frozen, crackling recordings mixed well with dallas simpson's
delicate natural
soundscape and john hudak's abstracted suspended ringing. our
initial
softness was brought to bay by joe colley's malfunctioning equipment in
two
tracks from one of my favorite releases from last year, desperate
attempts at
beauty (this is the second set of tracks we've featured from this
disc),
and a rare compositional outing for toshiya tsunoda (from the split lp
whose
opposite face - justin bennett's cacerolada - was featured before it's
release
last year, and then again in one of our end of 2004 wrap-up shows). as
the new year
shapes up i
can announce that framework:focus will be continuing for the
foreseeable future
as a regular feature. my goal will be to produce one focus
edition per
month (starting with february), which will generally air on the 3rd
friday -
thus this year's first should be on 18.02.05. i hope you enjoy
the focus
format - i, for one, have been enjoying their evolution over the past
few
months! one
more time: i
start each (regular)
edition of framework with an introduction recorded by a
listener/contributor,
and have had many fine, fine examples over the past few
years. but
lately my stock has been running low - perhaps the novelty of the
request has
worn off, but please, if ever you would consider submitting a framework
introduction for airplay, whether you are an experienced phonographer
or have
never held a tape recorder, i would be honored to receive your
contribution! every intro submission sent in to date has been
used, so
it's a sure-fire way to get some airplay! see the guidelines
