Bush in November 2004 and comprises field recordings made at various peace marches and anti-war rallies in San Diego between 2004 and 2005. The phonographs were recorded on a portable DAT machine. The piece was mixed and recorded in real time using three CD players and a digital effects unit without any overdubs or edits. The 56 minute piece was divided into five sections in accordance with this platform’s guidelines. #frameworkradio #frameworkafield #phonography #fieldrecording #fieldrecordings #radioart #experimentalmusic #patreon #marcosfernandes

965: 2026.03.15 patreon campaign progress report: 126 patrons (no change) 70% towards our goal (no change) want to help? link in bio. This week we pay special tribute to the life and work of the pioneering composer éliane radigue, who passed away in paris on the 23rd of february at the age of 94. i can't overstate the extent of radigue's importance and influence to the world of experimental music and experimental musicians globally, and while framework is ostensibly focused on field recordings, we chose to stretch our arms a bit wider for this show, as her influence on our world can also not be denied. in this edition though we will subtly focus on works that may relate, however slightly, to field recording - especially her piece 'elemental 1' from 1968, which is composed explicitly from sounds and feedback of air, water, earth and fire; but also her work with spoken word and voice, and her pre-synthesizer works for pure feedback, a type of field recording in itself, perhaps. there is plenty of information about the artist and her work online; i encourage you to search for it and explore. there are some links below to get you started, but i won't say too much more here - i'd prefer to leave you with her sounds. there are, however, scattered throughout those sounds in this edition, a few words and observations written by longtime friend of the program emmanuel holterbach, who spent many years working with éliane to digitize her archives and is intimately familiar with her work. he also made the beautiful mixes of her early 'vice-versa, etc' piece, originally a 1970 multiple of 10 copies on 2 reel to reel tapes, that appear on the 'feedback works 1969-1970' release, one of which is in our mix. many thanks to manu for his expertise and his contribution to our appreciation and knowledge of radigue's work. link to complete notes and audio in bio. #frameworkradio #phonography #fieldrecording #fieldrecordings #radioart #experimentalmusic #patreon #élianeradigue #algamarghen #lovelymusic #tableoftheelements #recordingsofsleazeart #emmanuelholterbach

963: 2026.03.01 patreon campaign progress report: 125 patrons (up from 124) 69% towards our goal (down from 70%) want to help? link in bio. first, we would like to welcome a new station to the framework family: harrowgate community radio is A 6-year-old independent radio project based in the uk, and now airs framework at 18:00 on wednesdays, repeated the following day at 10:00. check them out here: https://harrogatecommunityradio.online. welcome to the fold, hcr! second, a pronunciation apology: i mistakenly credited sem zeeman in this edition as sam - foolish, as we are familar with sem's work, and this is not the first time he's been on the program. sorry, sem! and finally, i would like to acknowledge again the sad news that our community has lost another great: éliane radigue has passed away, in paris, at the age of 94. where would any of us be without éliane and her music? somewhere in all the outpourings of grief and tribute over this last week or so, i read that she once said of her own work, "i always make the same music." i, for one, am heartbroken that we won't be hearing any more new same music from her skilled hands. the news came to me too late to include her in this show, and anyway i wanted to be able to take time with our tribute here at framework. no one will pretend that her work had a strong field recording element in it, but frankly, i don't care. edition 965, our next regular edition slot, will be in honor of her life and work. in this edition great sounds from old friend richard francis; finally, a proper dose of the radiophonic work of chloé despax (whose aporee contributions have featured on the program over many years); a new album of collaborative works from fletina; short works from daniel ottini and sem zeeman; recent listener-chosen favorites from the aporee soundmaps from belgium, uk, equador and poland; and a framework introduction recorded by long-time contributor martin clarke while recording dog-sledding in norway. #frameworkradio #phonography #fieldrecording #martinclarke #richardfrancis #room40 #chloédespax #fletina #danielottini #semzeeman #aporeemaps #virgileloiseau #enquiringear #colusthetus #davidpitt #maciejjanasik

962: 2026.02.22 patreon campaign progress report: 124 patrons (no change) 70% towards our goal (no change) want to help? link in bio. this week we begin another look back at some classic editions of framework:afield, never before online and not heard since their initial broadcasts almost 20 years ago. we begin with an edition produced in portland, oregon by seth nehil, originally aired on july 12th, 2006, edition #121. for more of seth's work see . you can find his notes with the playlist below. Seth Nehil - Notes for Afield 1:23 The first track is from an album with John Grzinich called gyre. This work was created during my post-grad school visit with John in Mooste, Estonia in late 2005, a very welcome transitional time – several months to record, talk, collaborate and enjoy natural areas. The opening sound consists of bowed wires tensioned to large metal canisters, with objects (leaves? paper?) resting on the wires, rattling - the song of metal. Later, glass jugs slowly dragged in a circle inside an abandoned barn. This is a piece of long crossfades, extended textures, a wordless dialogue. Taking pleasure in the small crackles and stochastic micro-events caused by patient interactions with physical objects. An attention to the resonance of materials and spaces, and a care to leave evidence of that in the sound. Layering and counterpoint of spaces and actions are the primary compositional tool, with long recordings left largely intact. I think this was the first project in which I felt comfortable working in a DAW - late night sessions at a residency in Turku, Finland with John. gyre wa link to audio and full notes in bio. #frameworkradio #frameworkafield #phonography #fieldrecording #fieldrecordings #radioart #experimentalmusic #patreon #sethnehil #johngrzinich #mattmarble #brendanmurray #cutrecords #andoar #sedimentalrecords #alluvialrecordings

961: 2026.02.15 patreon campaign progress report: 124 patrons (no change) 70% towards our goal (no change) want to help? link in bio. two new releases (actually one new, one upcoming) that i'm really excited about this week: first, the latest work by irish composer karen power, who stunned us with her album '...we return to ground...' a year or two back; this one is a collaboration with vocalist loré lixenberg, whose voice was captured in a series of location recordings and then placed in "a sonic macro environment, which is composed of multiple real & imagined places." the second is the latest compilation of works born from the mɜː.məˈreɪ.1ʃən (murmuration) series of residencies/gatherings/workshops curated by pheobe riley law and jez riley french (daughter/father) in glenshee, scotland - each year they gather a group of sound artists/listeners/thinkers on a particular sound-related theme for a series of collective explorations and listenings, and each year they release a compilation of works afterwards that i wouldn't call a product or a result of the gathering, but something like a peek inside for the rest of us. 2025's theme was "sounding objects", "focusing on listening to, thinking about, discussing interaction and the materiality of sound as an object itself; micro-listening to single or collective physical objects (constructed and found), performative materials, from grass stalks to mountains to grains of minerals." the sounds are stunning, and we had a hard time making this selection of only 6 works out of the 22 on the release. go check out the others! when it is released we'll be adding the direct link to it's bandcamp page to our published playlist. also a new unreleased work by longtime contributor keith de mendonca, composed from the […] link to complete notes and audio in bio. #frameworkradio #phonography #fieldrecording #fieldrecordings #radioart #experimentalmusic #patreon #dillonvessels #murmuration #agnieszkahabraschka #aroafuentes #ecemince #elliecherry #manonfantini #pheoberileylaw #engravedglass #karenpower #lorélixenberg #keithdemendonca #aporeemaps #maciejwirmański #soryedouard #matthiasfeuersenger #bbpppqqqdd #paulinedetavernier
