framework - phonography/field recording; contextual and decontextualized sound activity
presented by patrick mcginley

***important announcement***   this month resonancefm is moving to brand-spanking-new studio premises, a vast improvement over the space we have now.  this is a big job, however, and live programming will be suspended for until the job is finished (archive programming will continue).  for this reason, framework will also be taking a few weeks off, to recharge our engines, and restock our ears.  the next new edition should happen in september - stay tuned, we'll let you know!

in the meantime, however, we will continue to update the podcast weekly, with shows from our own archive.  have a look at the playlists online; if there's a particular show you'd like to hear, from anytime in framework's 500 (sorry, 5) year history, let us know, and we'll try to line it up in the next few weeks.

this week we repeated an edition of framework:afield first aired on the 19th of may, 2006, produced in london, uk, by felicity ford (http://www.littlesongbox.co.uk).  i'm also forwarding on a call for participation for a field-recording related project from a fellow resfm program-maker - you can find the call at the end of this mail.  but first, from the original playlist:

  "This edition of Framework has been put together by Felicity Ford of the littlesongbox and is a collection of recordings by both established and unreleased artists. Works here include recordings of children's toys with musical mechanisms "playing," a composition based on a woman humming along with her radio, an elderly woman singing and playing the piano, Hawaiian birds singing, the sounds created by a piano being tuned, ethnographic field recordings of sound mimesis from Tuva along with recordings of ice melting, swimming pools, computer games, church bells and, of course, some music boxes.  

  Much thanks to all the contributors for making such great work, for writing such friendly emails, for sending me CDs and for offering insight."

again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw field recordings, field recording based composition or introduction submissions.  we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of our guest-curated series.  send proposals or material, released or not, on any format, to the address below.  if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

A call for recorded sound material/sound pieces/field recordings

The Happening

The basement, 10 - 16 Aswin St. London E8.
6TH - 9TH September 16 - 22 pm. Free

The Happening is 4 days, site specific, performance & sound installation 
mixing live improvised music, recorded compositions, sound sculptures, 
poetry, artist's interventions, large group compositions and audience 
participation. The event would utilise the specific architecture of the 
space, blurring the boundaries between performance, artistic exploration and 
participation. By relating to the physical space as a big soundboard and the 
individual rooms as sound chambers within this sound box, the space itself 
would become a resonating instrument.  A series of "events", each of them 
unique, would be introduced in individual rooms and over the 4 days, these 
would create and present an ever- changing programme.

During the 4 days we would be playing a variety of recorded sound material: 
compositions, found, concrete, incidental, electronic, acoustic, text, 
instrumental, vocal.

The recordings would be played through guitar/bass amps and portable CD 
players.  Several pieces would be played simultaneously, from different 
rooms, creating a unique sound mix which would be changing throughout the 4 
days of the installation.

We are looking for recordings of up to 10 min but no shorter than 2 min.
If you would like to submit material to be considered for this installation, 
please send a CD, in audio format .wav (44.1 kHz - 16 bit) to: The 
Happening, Basement Flat, 70A Brondesbury Villas, London NW6 6AD
Please include your name and contact email.

We would not be able to play all the submitted materials and will only 
contact you if we decide to play your submission. We regret that we will 
only be able to return your CD if you include a stamped, self addressed 
envelope.

For more information please email dhappening at gmail.com
